I AM GRIEVOUS

Elan gave Seina a thoughtful gaze as she was helpless to respond to her embarrassment.

Click Elan to ask "Who are you looking for?".

"Eumb...." Elan continued to fixate on Seina's face while she was perplexed about what caused it.

Seina yelled, "No, I'm going back to class first."

Elan only gave a headshake.

***

Elina cleared her throat as she approached Seina.

"Ehm."

Seina cast a glance at Elina, who appeared to be trying to converse but was acting strangely.

Seina motioned for Elina to take a seat next to him and said, "Sit here Na."

Elena said, "When are you coming back?" 

"Last night," Seina hurriedly said.  

"Oh, how is your dad doing these days?"

"Well."

Seina responded with a smile even though Elina still appeared unsure of what she wanted to say. Elina had already proven that she was willing to approach Seina, and that was sufficient for Seina.

Seina took a quick look at Elina's neck; her hair appeared to be pulled back into a ponytail, and the necklace she had been wearing at the time was missing.

Elina noticed Seina glancing at her neck.

Elina yelled, "I'm not wearing the jewelry anymore," without first asking Seina.

Seina was startled when she realized that Elina was aware of her thoughts.

Elena yelled, "You want to ask about the necklace, right?"

Seina responded, "Eng... No."

Elina grinned "I am aware of Say's motivation. You and I go back a long way. I am aware of your interest in the jewelry."

Biting her bottom lip, Seina rubbed her throat.  " I have given Elan the jewelry back, Elina continued."

Seina gave Elina a serious look "Why is that? Isn't that something Elan gave you for your birthday?"

Seina nearly refrained from asking further questions about the necklace, but the more Elina talked about it, the more she piqued her interest. Eventually, Seina was compelled to inquire why Elina had returned the necklace that Elan had given her.

Elina yelled, "If the necklace is still on my neck", Sey hurts more and suffocates.

How much sorrow do you feel about Elan, Seina asked in shock. Do you intend to forget it, or what?

Elina repeated: "Even if the person is always between us, I did attempt to put my emotions out of my mind. Additionally, I will never be able to forget the individual. However, I need to get rid of this emotion. Such a heart," Elina cried out.

Elina's statements astonished Seina since they showed how well she grasped what she was trying to communicate. All of Seina's questions, which she had in her heart, were addressed by Elina.

Seina cried, "Ehm... How about him?"  

"He requested to discontinue it," Elina said.

Seina was aware that Elan had broken things off first because he appeared to be acting normally whereas Elina was depressed and sad.

If I say "mother," do you mean Elan's mother? Seina yelled, wondering what level of closeness Elina and her mother Elan shared.

"That's right, my mum and I. My mother doesn't seem to like me very much now that she knows Elan and I are dating. Her name also having a parent is only natural. Elan must therefore be covertly deliberating in front of his mother if he wants to visit me," Elina screamed.

Seina simply nodded in agreement with Elina's assertions.

Vino approached Seina and Elina after observing them.

Vino turned his chair to face us and sat down in front of Elina right away.

"What are you two discussing?" Vino yelled inquisitively.

Vino received a serious glance from Elina before yelling, "None of your business."

Vino chuckled mockingly at Elina.

You're not a nice friend, Na, I must say.

Elina got up. Elina asked "Since when did we get along?" before leaving Seina and Vino.

Seina took a breath and shook her head.

Why does that kid just stir up the soul? In front of Seina, Vino yelled.

"Yes... Tell me what you think."  Seina yelled.

Seina took out the notebook she had stolen from Elan and opened her book to make notes on the lessons she had missed.

Vino continued to gripe and whine. Vino yelled, "It's not enjoyable Sey is friends with a bitchy.

a person like her."

Vino was ignored as Seina proceeded to write notes in her journal.

Vino began to tone off his pestering and took the message Seina had gotten from Elan.

"This writing is by whom? Neat. similar to a girl's writing," He yelled.

"Okay, Vin. I would like to make notes," Seina stated while attempting to steal Vino's book. Vino flipped the book as Seina's hand failed to reach it.

Sey's lesson: "We don't think we're here yet." Vino yelled in a highly interested tone.

"I'm done now. Simply put, don't enter," Seina stated.

"Really? This book belongs to who?"

Vino continued to turn the page and discovered the book's owner.

Vino spelled the name on the book's second-page cover while remaining silent.

Before Vino finished reading it, he was already too slow to say the character's name: "Elan Pra."

When did you take his book out on loan? Vino lost his cool and threw the book at Seina.

Seina caught the book with a grimace, "So....? I must borrow your notes, please. You won't leave as long as I don't enter the room while you are away, correct?" Seina yelled.

Seina's statement that she skipped school as long as Seina was absent contained some truth, and Vino wanted to respond.

"But Sey, you can borrow it from a different friend. Elina will also let you borrow it," Elina was observed cursing her slowly as Vino cast a glance her way.

Writing to copy from Elan's book, Seina yelled, "Yes, Vin, don't bother me first."

Vino cried loudly, letting everyone in the room know that Seina had taken Elan's book. Elina was aware of this. Elina didn't scowl at Seina, though.

***

Seina wants to meet Elan and give her book back after the lesson for the day is complete.

Vino attempted to reach Seina and shouted, "Where are you going Se?"

Seina stated, "I'm going to Elan's class."

He asked, "What are you doing?"

Seina indicated Elan's book with "here."

He asked angrily, "Since when did you borrow his book?"

Vino asked Seina a question, but Seina chose not to respond since she knew that doing so would just make Vino angrier and more like a tiger who would attack.

Vino yelled, "I'm here."

"Hah?"

Seina's book was taken by Vino, who then said, "Vin wait!" said Seina.

Vino paused his stride and glanced at Seina.

Where are you headed? said Seina.

Vino displayed the book "this," by Elan.

"That's not it, right? I mean, will you give Elan the book back? Really?" With a troubled expression, Seina said.

If Vino handed the book back over to Elan, there would unquestionably be war."

"Don't triumph!"  Seina exploded.

"Is the book here?" Vino, please return the book, Seina asked while holding out her hand.

Seina pleaded with Vin, "Please!"

Vino and Elan getting into trouble was something Seina didn't want. Vino's expression made it plain that he was not on good terms with Elan.

***

Seina pleaded fervently for the return of Elan's book. Vino eventually gave in and returned the book, but it was more difficult than anticipated. Vino requests a stipulation before inviting someone to supper with him. Despite Seina's laziness, she eventually accepted Vino's request to return the book.
