The Book of Hope [3]

"Contrary? What do you mean?" she asked, a confused look taking over her face. 

"Hmmmm," I took a look around at our surroundings. "Let's talk somewhere else," I said. 

"Well, fine by me."

I hid the book in one of the straps that were on the inner side of my cloak,  then along with Alada I went to the rooftop of the class B building. 

This was something sensitive, so I'd rather not let it be overheard by someone— not like anyone would believe, but I wanted to be overly cautious. 

Soon we reached the rooftop, opening the final door, I stepped out in the open. Today's weather was windy— and that was understandable, considering what was to come.

The strong gust of wind passed by, whirling my cloak in my direction and flickering my hair— making it a mess that now covered the upper brows of my eyes. 

I went and leaned on the railing followed by Alada who also came close and stood beside me.
