===== Chapter 1    [ Part 5 ] =====

"What are you doing, Dante?" His deep voice halts him from doing any further movements. The gun, he has it in his hand; but it remains covered from the sight of others. Dante grits his teeth, scolding himself for being slow. As, on the other hand, you blink. You snap out from the daze you didn't know you're in.

You see Alessio, just beside Dante, and you see her, just beside Alessio. Your eyes turn to the heavily beaten man. You see him breathe, and you're quite relieved that he is still alive.

"Nothing, Bo—"

"Alessio," he interrupts Dante. Silver-steel eyes blankly focused on your form. The man immediately restates his phrase, not wanting to commit a mistake once again and anger his boss. Clearly,  Alessio is disappointed with the conduct he is showing right now.

"Nothing, Alessio."

His oceanic blue eyes glares at you. He'll kill you. Not now. But maybe later. When his Boss could not prevent him from killing you.You, of course, perceive his harsh glare and realize that he despise you too.. But you don't care because it's not like you have to talk to him. 

Your friend suddenly tugs you on the arm.

"Break time is almost over. We should probably leave," your friend suggests, and you nod in agreement. As you were elected to be the secretary of your class, you can't afford to be late once again. You and Ely begins to walk away, but someone calls for your attention.

"Hey! You're (Y/N), right?"

You look over your shoulder and see the platinum-haired girl. Her blue eyes sparkling. You can see that she's very pretty, and you wonder how she became to be a victim of those bullies. You nod at her, confirming your name. She smiles and clasps her hands together.

"I'm Peach," she says.

"Thank you for awhile ago."

You smile back.

You actually thought that the girl will not say her thanks anymore, but she did. "No problem, Peach. Can't just let someone bully others." Peach grins at your words, liking you instantly for your heroic personality.

You grin back. You face the front again when you are certain that your conversation with her is over.

"I like her," Peach happily exclaims to Alessio when you are out of their line of sight.

Dante meanwhile scoffs.

He does not like you, and he won't ever like you. He will make sure that you will end up in the cemetery before the week is over. The two have obviously revealed their own impression of you, yet Alessio remains quiet, silent in his mysterious thoughts as always.
