The Mysterious Boundary

Silence suddenly took over the room after Adam's words. Mr. Vernin noticed the heavy atmosphere between the two; he immediately spoke up.

Vernin: (laughing gently and saying) Adam, don't skip class anymore. Come and sit here. Let's start analyzing the scent of pine wood.

Adam then walked over to the table and sat right between Arin and Mr. Vernin. Arin looked at Adam without hesitation and pointed towards the teacher. He turned his cold eyes towards Arin and stared at the vest she was wearing for a long time before he turned his head to look at Mr. Vernin and said.

Adam: Sorry. I have bothered you today.

Mr. Vernin laughed and began to teach about how the humidity of the air changes the scent of pine wood. Arin listened attentively and with interest while Adam sat quietly, looking at the scene before his eyes.

Meanwhile, Mansa and Kee are working together to create a new recipe for their special drink at the class.

Mansa: Kee, will I be able to create a new favorite drink for Adam?

Kee: (smiled and said) Well, whether that drink is good or bad, Adam will still like it because you put all of your heart into it.

Mansa: (immediately replied) You are indeed the cutest person on earth.

Kee immediately laughed and helped Mansa continue her drink.

Ring ring ringg

The classes have ended, and lunchtime has arrived. Kee and Mansa were enjoying themselves while holding two glasses of cool strawberry frappuccino and going up to the school cafeteria.

Kee: (walking up the stairs while talking to Mansa) I wonder if Adam and Arin finished with class yet? But I think Arin will stay in class past lunchtime, she's too passionate (laugh, haha). Mr. Vernin is really kind to us.

Mansa: Honestly, I'm very worried. From then until now, something has happened between Adam and Arin. Even though they try to act normal, I still feel the coldness between the two of them. I don't want to mention or ask about it because I can feel this will separate us.

Kee kept quiet and listened. His face seemed to want to say something, but he immediately kept it to himself. He calmly reassured Mansa.

Kee: Well, things will be back to normal, don't worry. Keep smile. Let's go meet Adam and Arin.

P/s: The secret is gradually being revealed ;)

Fact: Mansa is a new student at school since last year. This is her second year at Misselle School.
