The teacher brought everyone into our designated place in the field
[ Lex!! ] Kate called from afar right after we went out, our class designated place right beside Kate's class designated place, we are primary school grade 1 the sports we can do limited to a few sports only, so they don't need to divide into two group comrade and rivalry something like that.
[ oh!, Claudia good morning ] Kate came to us greeted He who's standing behind me
[ and what happened to Alice? ]
At this time I'm still stroking patting Alice head coaxing her to forget my blunder just now,
[ Alice, we're sorry, don't sulk anymore ]
[ … ]
[ come on, you're ruining your pretty face like this ]
[ … ]
[ I always like the cheerful Alice ]

[ what are you doing? ] I can't help but ask her
[ nothing ] haha same as usual what did I expect
[ what's your name? ] this time she lift her head, her eyes meet with mine
[ why should I tell you? ] she tilt her head a little
[ un, you're right ]

When I arrive at my classroom, I can see everyone still excited from yesterday event, after my usual greeting I'm back to my sit
( kukuku, I feel it! I can feel it! The changed on their way of looking at me ) well all I know it increase on affection only not interested romantically, maybe they just admired me now
[ morning Dia ]
[ morning Lex ] she smiled brightly greet me back, looks like Dia too affected yesterday event she became more lively than usual, seriously her eyes so beautiful!
I'm don’t want to be a narcissist so I rarely saw my eyes in the mirror, but I now I can see her eyes all day long.
[ Lex? ]
[ oh sorry ] unconsciously I sucked into her eyes again, our faces only several centimeters apart.
[ where's Alice? ] Dia pointed to the back of the class, there's Alice playing ball like thing with her other friends
[ haha, the hype yesterday haven't settled down yet ]
[ un ] Dia agreed with me
[ Dia too, look more lively than usual ]
[ oh, I have a different reason than others ] she smiled brightly again
[ what did you mean- ]
*crashes *shattered
Glass breaking sound cut down my sentence, we immediately look at the source, a Vase fell down from the shelf and there's Alice stood beside the broken Vase, she look around in a panicked state, there's tears started to accumulate in the side of her eyes.
[ haa~ ] I sighed and stood up walk to her
[ are you alright? ]
[ L, Lex what to do? ] Alice start crying it's human psychology when you stiffen up facing with some troubles, and break down after others help you
[ are you hurt? ] I check her hands, then quickly Alice shakes her head
[ ok, no problem then ] I pulled her to her seat
[ it's okay, no big deal ] i said while softly stroking her hair
[ wait here ] I take a broom and dust pan carefully cleaning the scene, for the big pieces I used my hand to pick them up
The teacher came while I'm still cleaning the broken vase, she asked what happened
[ nothing, my careless I accidently pushed down the Vase ]
[ ouch! ] I distracted a bit when replying the teacher
[ wait! Let me see! ] the teacher hold my arm
[ it's okay ] I said and tried to take the broom to swipe the rest small pieces
[ let me do it, can someone help me bring Lex to the infirmary ] The teacher said
[ I'll go! ] Alice quickly stands up
[ well then, let's go ]

[ Lex, I'm sorry ] dejectedly said Alice her usual cheerfulness has long gone without a trace
[sorry for? ]
[ Beacause of me you- ]
[ You really didn't get hurt right ] i cut down her words
[ You didn't lie to me right, you know what will happen when lying right ] i forced my way
[ un ]
[ Good then! ] I tried to stroke her head as usual then i realized my right hand finger still bleeding, i immediately change to my left hand, but that little action didn't escape her eyes
[ Uuuu, sob ]
[ No, why are you crying again ] i said while stroking her head
[ But, but ]
[ I said it before right don't ruin Alice pretty face with tears ]
[ Oh come on, smile smile! ] i urged her
Alice showing me forced smile stained with tears
[ Alice! ] I shouted [ you know to me this scar didn't hurt at all ] i showed her my bleeding right hand
[ With just this little scar i can protect the smile of pretty girl like you, this scar is a medal of honor for man like me, so I don’t mind at all rather I happy for this]
[ Well I'm sure you won't understand what I'm saying ]
[ Un ] she nodded lightly
[ It's okay you will understand when you grown up ]
[ Anyway at that time like rather than saying sorry it's better to say thank you understand ]
Alice dazed stared at me for a while
[ …. Un ] then she nodded once again
[ Thanks you Lex ] she said while smiling naturally cheerful as usual
[ you're welcome! ]
[ Let's go ]
