"So, your project got sold?" Elena asked.
"Yes!"
"Who was the buyer?"
"I didn't see his face"
"Uhwhat?"
"He didn't co"
"You an...it was a scam?!
"No! He bought it, but I didn't see him"
"You sold it online?"
"No. I got a call, and he said he is interested in buying my project. At first, I thought so guy from my class was ssing with , but then he asked to et"
"You shouldn't et strangers"
" I am not a kid. At first, I wasn't sure of the eting, but later he said he wanted to make so more deals, and he has so terms and conditions. So I had to go"
"And he didn't co?"
"No, he didn't. I was waiting for him, but he never ca. I was both annoyed and frustrated at the sa ti. And as I was about to leave, I got a call, and he made a deal with like that"
"What was his deal?"
"He wanted to buy my materializing project, and he was giving money for it"
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"But he was asking for so conditions"
"Like?"
"He said that I shouldn't tell anyone about this project, nor ever ntion it in front of anyone. And if soone asks how my project is going, I have to say 'It was a failure, so I gave up on it'. I asked him the reason for this, but he just said he would pay extra"
"How much did you sell it for?"
"20"
"Twenty thousands?!"
"No"
"Then?"
"Twenty million"
"What the--are you kidding ?!"
"I am not"
"That's like...mom and dad's salary's of the year together!"
"I know, right?"
"What will you do with this much money?"
"I would give half of it to my senior"
"Senior?"
"Elisha Zekke. She was the one working on this project before , and helped to complete it"
"Then you will give so to Das too?"
"Why would I give anything to him?"
"He also helped you, right?"
"That's..."
"You forgot about that didn't you?"
"I have already repaid his favor"
"What did you do?"
"I let him...oh shit! Das already has that materializing system!"
"What does he need it for?"
"Well...."
'He hasn't told her anything? What a jerk! But...what if he didn't want anyone to know? I an, he specially ca all the way to grandpa's house just to ask my permission to let him use materializing system. And he thought if he told anyone about it, then my project might get stolen. Maybe, that's why he didn't tell her about it? So he was being considerate about ? How cute!'
Selena was impressed by Das, thinking he was being considerate of her. But she was wrong. That thought never crossed his mind.
"Sely?" Elena interrupted Selena from her delusions.
"Yes?"
"Why won't you give any money to Das?"
"Well..." 'What should I tell her?' After thinking for a while she found an excuse, "He is already part of our family now! So there is no point giving him anything"
Elena stared at Selena and said, "Suspicious" while frowning her eyes.
"Enough talking about ! What will you do with other girls now?" Selena successfully dodged the topic.
"I don't have anything to do with them"
"I still don't understand why are you okay with him being with other girls"
"Well...it's more like I asked him to be with other girls"
"Why would you do sothing stupid?"
"When the first ti I saw him, he looked so lifeless, so emotionless. He looked like a living doll with no emotions or life in it"
"You an, on the first day of him tutoring him?"
"Elena shook her head and said, "I have been keeping an eye on him since long before that"
"Don't tell ...you were into him even before you t?!"
"No. There was this girl who always dragged to see Das"
"Which girl?"
"Virza"
"That...isn't that one of the girl who bulled you?!"
"She is...but she was nice before"
"She bullied you! How can she be nice?!"
"It wasn't like that before. When I was alone, she ca to and beca friends with . We hung out so much. We ate lunch together, and we even played gas together. She was like my...best friend"
"And yet she bullied you!"
"Maybe she had her reason? I don't think she is a bad girl"
"I heard that girl got into so kind of accident in your school, and was hospitalized?"
"Yes. She was badly injured"
She is the sa girl that Das had beaten in the cafeteria.
Later she was hospitalized, and after so days she regained consciousness.
Her condition is getting worse day by day.
"I am grateful to whoever did that to her"
"Don't say that. She was in so much pain"
"I don't care. Those who hurt my dear El--wait! How do you know that?"
Elena averted her gaze and said, "I went to et her last week at the hospital"
"What is wrong with you?!"
"But I couldn't help it! She has really helped so much in the past and...I just can't stand seeing my best friend in pain like that"
"Best friends, never bully!"
"As I said she must have her reasons"
"Does Das know that you went to et her at the hospital?"
Elena shook her head.
"I will tell him!"
"Please don't! I want to tell him myself"
"Promise you won't do sothing stupid like this without asking ?"
"You are enjoying this aren't you?"
"I will call Das"
"Fine, fine"
"Nice"
"Sely you anie"
"I am doing this for your own good. I am sure Das would have done the sa"
"Let's stop talking about it"
Sigh~
"Fine"
"So as I was saying, he looked so lifeless that I wanted to make him smile. I wanted to see his smile"
"And then you asked so teacher to have him tutor you?"
"No. It was a pure coincidence! I wanted to talk with him many tis, but I was afraid. The one day, the teacher called and said he is going to tutor "
"That really doesn't look like a coincidence"
Indeed. It was planned by none other than their grandfather, Caleb Huer.
