Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling.

Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone.

Sunshine Meets Grumpy

He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions.

Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable.

One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

Entering the school, Lily rushed to the restroom to wash her face. She tried to use wet tissues to wipe the blush off her face, but it was not coming off.

"Lily, what's wrong with you? He already kissed you before; why are you still blushing?" She said to herself, pouring more water on her face. When she closed her eyes, all Lily could see was Raven's eyes and lips.

"Ah!" She moved back, tapping her face so she would wake up to reality.

"Lily?" Lily was startled to hear her name. She turned around to meet the familiar ginger curls of Victoria.

"Tori?" Lily called out to her friend. "Tori!" She ran towards her friend to hug her tightly.

"You left that day; I know you were surprised, but I'm sorry about what happened." Lily apologized after pulling away from the hug.

Victoria nodded her head, "I understand; you're back at school?" She asked, looking at Lily from head to toe.
