Space

The moon was covered with dark clouds. It's quite as if everything just stops inside her and only the cold wind wraps around the room. Leona decides to walk towards the terrace and enjoy the view of the swaying trees, the sound of the crickets covered the sound of her lonely heart.

If right now, she'll be given power, she will make sure to choose the time. The time before she ruined her best friend's relationship. She knew inside that it's not her fault but knowing how the couple broke up, make her feel guilty. Never in her life did she wish for someone's happiness to shatter because of her stupidity.

The clouds rambled and release droplets which then turn into heavy rain. But Leona didn't bother to shield herself from the rain and let the pouring rain drench her. With all the dramas that happen in her life, this is what she hated the most. Losing her best friend

It feels just like yesterday when she lost her ex-best friend and now she's back on the same cycle again. Her tears start to flow like crazy just like the rain, her heart rambles just like the sound of thunders. She wonders what Kiara is doing right now, whether the girl's drench in the rain or she's in her room crying her hearts out just like her.

It's not long after when she hears the sound of her door went open and at that moment, she wish it was Kiara. But then again, a wish only remains as a wish.

Bryan immediately covers her with a blanket and turns the heater on. He let the girl take a shower first and handed her a glass of warm milk right after Leona went out of the bathroom and change into her pajamas.

"Kiara didn't mean to be rude at you. She was just caught off at the moment"

"I separated them. Gosh, I sound so evil. They broke up because of me"

"No, it's not because of you why they broke up. Kiara was just so closed off when it comes to her life and Cassandra was so done for it"

Leona knows it, but no matter how many times she reminds herself or how many times Bryan tells her that it's not her fault, her mind keeps on pushing her to think the opposite. She's frustrated, she's stress, she's anxious, she's feeling all the emotions at the same time and it made her numb.

Her body refuses to move and it feels like she would turn into a statue any minute from now. She feels empty inside, nothing but darkness inside her heart.

"Take a rest. I will just be right here, I won't leave" Bryan said letting out a small smile

"Thank you" she replied and drift off to sleep.

The warm sun hit the glassy window of Leona's apartment and the sound of the birds chimed in with the sound of people who are busy walking down the street.

"Wake up princess, Time to go to school" Bryan greeted and throw her a towel

"You didn't go home?"

"I told you, I won't leave"

After Leona finished her shower and changes into her school uniform, the two best friends eat breakfast together. Bryan makes conversation from time to time but it seems useless considering that Leona is stuck in her own thoughts.

"Did Kiara sent you a message?" the girl suddenly asked

"No, but I'm sure she's fine" Bryan simply answered

Leona didn't push the topic further and just focused on her breakfast. After a while, they proceed on their way to school.

The school was filled with students early in the morning but all Leona wants to see is her best friend. She didn't know what to say or what to do when they see each other in class but still, she wants to see her.

She bumps into someone right after she opened the door to their classroom. She looks at the girl to apologize but before she could even say the words, her lips start to part and her eyes begin to water as she sees Kiara in front of her.

She wanted to smile and hug her so bad but her face decide to look away from her best friend and her feet starts to enter the classroom, leaving Kiara outside.

The atmosphere became even two times awkward when the class started since they were seated next to each other. Neither of them wants to start a conversation but both of them are dying to hear each other's voice.

In the middle of the discussion, the door flew open revealing Will who scratched his hair and grin at his professor in a cute way

"Ugh! Just sit down. I don't even care anymore" The teacher groaned which made Will bow his head and say thank you to the professor

"Hey, haven't seen you since you fainted," he said looking straight at Leona

"Don't talk to me, I'm not in a mood" Leona said, composing herself

Indeed the girl is not in a mood to talk because she's busy thinking of ways on how to talk to her best friend who still seems to be mad at her.

"I was expecting a thank you but someone's grumpy today" Will said and took a sit on his chair

Leona couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows at the sudden comment. She was definitely curious as to why would she need to thank Will who did nothing but just annoy her.

"And why would I thank you?"

"Uhm... For carrying your ass to the clinic right after you fainted in front of the whole class?"

"You're so dreamy. It's not you who brought me to the clinic though, it's River"

"Excuse me!? How can you have mistaken me for someone else"

"Quiet and listen to my instructions! Choose a partner for your final outputs" The professor said resulting in the students immediately picking their partners.

Leona debated whether she should ask Kiara to be her partner. She wants to but she doesn't even know how to approach the girl without breaking down

"I'm picking you as my partner," Leona said looking at Will who blinks at the sudden invite

"Aren't you suppose to pick Kiara?" the guy asked making the girl shut not even a second

Will was quick to notice the intense atmosphere between the two and as a guy who always loves challenges, he let out a smirk and raised his hand, calling the attention of his professor.

"Miss, can it be three? If you let me partner up with Kiara and Leona, I promise I won't be late anymore"

"What are you doing!?" Leona hissed in silent

"What!? Don't be so rude. Kiara is having a hard time picking up a partner. You know that she only haves you right?"

After Will said those words only then Leona noticed how Kiara didn't even move a single limb from her chair and just waiting for someone to adopt her.

"Do what you want, just make sure to contribute" the professor said agreeing at Will's offer

And that's already enough for Leona to call the day a good day.
