Midsummer07

No one falls in love by choice, it is by chance. No one stays in love by chance, it is by work. And no one falls out of love by chance, it is by choice.

…
“ Let go of me, you monster!” yelled Delilah with tears streaming down her flushed face profusely.

Her soul froze the next moment she looked into his eyes, it blazed like an abyss of iciness, ruthless and cold, his grip on her tightened.

" No way" he hissed, his voice low, dripping with venom.
 …

Love Is But A Chance.

After a while, Fredrick said, "Delilah… I didn't mean what happened in class earlier, I never meant for you to get hurt, but I saw you were lost in thought and decided to help," saying this, he bit his lower lip.

With a lethargic wave of her hand, Delilah said, "It is my fault regardless, but please, let there be no next time and… you're too close"

Fredrick stepped back a little and crossed his legs to sit on the floor.

" Uhm…. C-Can I be your friend?"

Opening her eyes, Delilah gave him a chilly look and snorted, "And what does a lowly girl like myself owe classmate Frederick to be his friend?"

Fredrick was speechless, unable to take his eyes off her stunning face, which featured a round, flushed face, soft pink lips that curved, almond-shaped, innocent-looking eyes, and a small, straight nose. He could not help but blush at her sheer beauty.

" You owe me nothing, instead I… I owe you that's why…", Before Fredrick could finish.

"He, he," Delilah chuckled icily and asked, "That is why what?" With every word, her voice grew icier and icier: "I believe classmate Frederick is very much aware of what your good friend had done to me?"

Fredrick balled his fist and clenched his teeth. He knew everything, of course, but at that point he had no way to save her; all he could do was stand by and act as if he had no idea.

With a wave of her hand, Delilah attempted to stand up. "You do not need to say anything since you were always controlled by Amy, I do not blame you," she said.

" Ah!" She sprained her ankle trying to get up, which caused her to lose her balance and fall. Fredrick was quicker to react, catching her with his arms around her. In other words…

Unbeknownst to them, a security camera in the room recorded the incident.

The seniors understand Mr. Zhou does not simply bring two students who are allegedly in a relationship to his office; rather, it was a set-up, and at that precise moment, his tablet was broadcasting the events that were taking place in the office.

Delilah blushed, and her heart raced like a scared little deer.

There was a time she had wished to be in this type of position with him… wished she could talk to him, laugh with him, and hug him, but her feelings weren't the same any more.

She abruptly pulled away from his embrace, standing on her right foot, she instantly bowed to hide her red face.

Her voice sounded like a malfunctioning system as she said, "Many thanks for your help, classmate Frederick."

She understood, despite her desire to avoid him, this was a teacher's office and should be treated with respect.

" Don't bother yourself about it, it'll be fine"

Delilah reclined on the floor, leaning her head and back against the wall, her eyes closed, her sprained leg flat on the ground and her good leg bent, with her elbow resting on her bent knee.

Fredrick thought she looked adorable and wild the way she sat, he also sat the same way facing her.

" So…", Fredrick rubbed his thigh with an awkward smile as he tried to think of what to say," … You really don't want me to be your friend?"

"I don't!" She spoke with the same firmness as Old Madam Chen.

" Why?" he shook his head helplessly.

After Fredrick's question was silence until,

" You don't have to…." Fredrick was about to ease the silence but,

He was taken aback by Delilah's response, "Because I would rather not get skinned alive."
