Chapter 22
Lucky 22
Already half a day passed but Scarlett still couldn't find Calix. She went to each room of the school but she couldn't find him. She even went to the backside of the campus but Calix was not there.
She was pretty excited to see him but she couldn't see him, she was disappointed. People were looking at her while she was walking, some even tried to talk to her but Scarlett glared at them. She didn't have time to talk to these people. All she wanted to do was to find Calix, talk to him [And perhaps have sex]
' Gosh, Scarlett you are slowly becoming a pervert.'
She was blushing, she couldn't help it. The whole time she spent in the mansion, Calix's figure was always in her mind. She kept recalling the time they spent with each other. How he did his magic, it was hot. So hot. Scarlett understood that she won't forget that moment. And even now, she wanted to do it again. She didn't know why but something was fluttering in her stomach while thinking about Calix.
' I don't want to accept it but Perhaps I have fallen Or perhaps since a long time ago, I've already loved him'
She said. The moment when Calix said that they should stop being friends, Scarlett cried a lot. She shed tears and she felt betrayed. The only friend she believed that would stay with her forever abandoned her, Calix decided to put distance in their friendship and Scarlett was brokenhearted. She started hating Calix at that time. But, sometimes, she would look at him with longing. In the past, she didn't know this feeling, but now she realized what it is.
' And I will never let it go. I should have done this in the past. I should have tried to help him when he was in his worst'
She regretted that she didn't help Calix when he was getting bullied. She was angry at him at that time. What she did was only look at him. She remained passive while Calix was hurting. She regretted it, deeply.
' At that moment, what actually is the reason why I didn't help him?'
She was perplexed. Usually, Scarlett won't stay passive but something was different these three years. She likes Calix but a strange thing was blocking her emotions from helping him. She didn't know what it was but [it was Calix's backlash.]
"If he's not in the school, where is he?"
She asked herself. This was a secret but Scarlett knew Calix's routine. He would stay in the school to study normal subjects and when it's afternoon, he would go to the Game Center. She knew most of his lifestyle, it was ironic and sweet, really.
"This time, he should be in the library to study about how to decipher his Term Attribute but he's not there. I just went to the library and I can't find him there."
As for the Game Center, she found that Calix was banned from the said establishment. Apparently, he caused an incident and the personnel were tight-lipped about it.
Scarlett started going around the school for the third time, but she still couldn't find him.
"Where is he?"
She bit her nail while thinking. Then, she remembered a place. The place where they shared a passionate night. The place that she ingrained in her mind.
' How foolish of me not to remember that place.'
The abandoned warehouse.
"This is a mystery."
Calix sighed. He was in the bleak storage room 200 meters away from the campus. He was staying in the place to spend some time.
Before he went to the abandoned storage room, he was actually in the most populated area of the city. He was trying to hit on girls. Yes, he was trying to get laid. He wanted to acquire his power again. And to do that, he had to have sex. Well, Calix was not sure if sex is the fuel of his Term Attribute. Perhaps it was the kiss or the breast fondling. Nonetheless, he knew that things would go to the sex anyway if he tried to advance and seduce a girl.
However, what he received was scorn and piercing glares from the girls. They were disgusted by his appearance [Calix is handsome but the backlash makes him ugly in the eyes of the females.]
"Recently they were looking at me with affection but now they hate me again."
He said.
Rape actually entered his mind but he immediately erased that idea. Calix has his pride and he won't ever try to do that. He was desperate but he won't stoop that low, he's not a beast. Hurting a woman is the last thing he wants to do.
"Still, it's depressing to see their glares. Man, I guess I have to stay like this forever."
He grimly said, he was sad. He weakly stood and opened the door. He was tired of this. He already knew his fuel but it seemed like it was impossible to refuel. The door gradually opened and he was welcomed by a scene of a beautiful woman. She had wide-open eyes, and she looked like she ran because of the sweat glistening on her forehead. She was breathing hard but her eyes were looking at Calix.
"I found you, at last."
Scarlet's heart jumped when she found Calix. She smiled and tried to talk to him. However, she saw strain and hurt emotions in his eyes. It looked like he almost wanted to cry.
"A-are you okay?"
She said with a quivering voice as she extended her hands trying to touch him.
Calix chuckled when he heard her.
"Me? Are you asking if I'm okay?"
Scarlett gulped when she saw that Calix was glaring at her. Calix was furious. He took a step and Scarlett's feet moved backward. She was shocked to find that her body was afraid of Calix. Perhaps her body remembered what happened that night and immediately subdued to him.
Calix walked towards her. He was looking in her eyes, her lovely crimson eyes. It reflected him. Calix had mixed emotions right now, he was angry and at the same time, he wanted to kiss her. However, the betrayal she did to him won the battle. He was lonely And he missed her, but he believed that Scarlett didn't miss him.
Thud.
Scarlett realized that she didn't have a place to move back anymore. She was cornered, her back was leaning on the wall. The fierce she had disappeared when her eyes were set on Calix. She immediately lost the battle just because of his powerful stares.
Calix weakly pushed her body against the wall. Scarlett gasped, a little bit excited and longing.
Calix saw the changes in her emotions but he was too hurt. He moved his head against her shoulder and asked her.
"Why? Why are you here?"
He said with a strong and firm voice.
[Right now, our protagonist did a kabedon but he was too occupied to realize it.]
