Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the villainess Chapter 109 - 108: Back To School IV

Chapter 109 - 108: Back To School IV

"Hey." Emily greeted as she gave him a smile.

"Hey." He greeted back.

"what are you doing here?" she asked, thinking if he came to see her. Despite the fact that they were only friends now, she can't help but hope.

"ah… I was actually looking for Serena. But I guess I'm too late. How have you been?"

Emily wanted to frown, but she kept her smile in place, "she just left a while back. I have been fine, thank you for asking. How about you?"

"I'm doing good too." He replied. He wanted to leave already. He didn't know since when, but he didn't like being alone with her much longer than necessary. Perhaps it's the awkwardness of them being lovers previously and now he's chasing another girl.

"Oh, I see. Would you mind walking with me for old time's sake?"

"Sorry, I need to go. I'll see you around."

Emily smiled at him and nodded her head, "see you around." While thinking 'One day, you will regret ever choosing her over me.'

--

"WHAT!!!???????" her two friends screamed in surprise.

"ssshhh…." Serena shushed them placing her finger on her lips, afraid that Beatrice might hear them.

"What happened?" Milly asked.

Serena sighed. What happened has been bugging here ever since and she just needed to get it all out. Also, might as well get some advices from her girlfriends. In her previous life, she has never experienced anything like this happening to her. Thus, she really doesn't know what to do and the confusion was just eating her.

"alright, girls, I need your advice. But don't judge me alright?"

"Of course, no matter what we're on your side." Gizel said while Milly nodded.

"Okay… so it's like this… at the ball, I saw Emily kissing Charlton at one of the secluded balconies…"

"Ugh… sorry, you lost me there. Emily kissed Charlton!? And he let her?" Gizel asked confused.

"Ah… well, I think Charlton would never betray you for Emily. Have you heard his side?" Milly asked.

"Actually, that's just the beginning… I'm not really sure what happened between them, anyway let me continue." Serena said, then she told them about what happened after. That she kissed Geoffrey and he kissed her back, her chasing Charlton and him breaking up with her and his reasons. She also told them about Geoffrey visiting her home during the break and him asking her to give him a chance.

After that was a moment of silence.

"Sorry, I just have to let all of that sink in first." Gizel said jokingly. "Anyway, for me, although I dislike Geoffrey because he has been an a.s.s to us at some point, I got to say that he just arrived at the perfect timing. You know I like Charlton and all but, come on. Geoffrey is your future husband, and he is the crown prince. If I were in your shoes, it's a no brainer. Doesn't mean I'm gonna let go of Emily though. That b.i.t.c.h. Prancing around with your fiance was not even enough, now she's even kissing your boyfriend? If I knew, I would've pulled her hair for you. By the way, I can still do that." Gizel offered.

"Ah… well, for me, I think Charlton had a point in everything he said…" Milly began.

"What!? You're even defending him? Who's your friend here?" Gizel reacted.

Serena shook her head, "go on Milly…"

"Okay, so here goes. Based on how I knew him, I highly doubt that he would even dare cheat on you. All of us have been spending time together since the start of cla.s.ses and I've seen how he looks at you, Serena. I know that he loves you. Also, I doubt that he would stoop so low and choose Emily over you. I believe that it should be Emily pushing herself on him."

"I too thought that way during the break…" Serena nodded.

"Uhuh. Then, let's move to the next part. Now, regarding his reasons, maybe he has been feeling that way since who knows how long and then suddenly it burst out when he saw you kiss Geoffrey. He might be feeling more insecure than you thought and he just couldn't take it anymore. Honestly, no offense Serena, but I think you are more at fault." Milly commented.

"I gathered that much…" Serena said as she sighed. "I did try last Monday to communicate with him and all. But he ignored me."

"Huh! How dare he? Come on Serena, he's not worth it. But I got to say, he really got served when you kissed Geoffrey" Gizel commented.

"Stop that, Gizel. I think you're not helping. I think Serena here still wants to get back together with Charlton." Milly said.

"Do you?" Gizel asked as she looked at Serena.

Serena can only embarra.s.sedly nod her head.

"Why didn't you just say so? Anyway, Charlton is more handsome than Geoffrey and he plays d.a.m.n good music too. You guys even look great on your photo together." Gizel suddenly said.

Milly and Serena just shook their heads.

"What!? I wanted to comfort our friend. But Seriously Serena, why don't you just give Geoffrey a chance? Anyway, based on Charlton ignoring you, I say that he's trying to move on."

Serena sighed. "I also thought of that too. But I just can't. I considered giving Geoffrey a chance, but when I saw Charlton again, everything came rushing back."

"how about this? Let's go to music cla.s.s and discern Charlton's actions first okay? Maybe he has already regretted it." Milly suggested.

--

Leonard arrived in the music cla.s.sroom earlier than the others. He wanted to speak with Felix alone. Luckily, he was given that chance.

"Sir Felix" he began.

"Yes? What can I do for you?"

"I have a request. I hope you would just keep this between us."

"alright, what is it?"

"Ah, would you please replace Charlton from being Serena's partner in our cla.s.s? I hope you understand."

Felix furrowed his brows but understood where Leonard was coming from. Everyone has seen the photos. "Charlton and Serena work well together, but I do understand. Alright, don't think about it any much longer, I know what to do."

"thank you."

--

When Serena and her friends were about to enter cla.s.s, they unexpectedly b.u.mped into Charlton and Kylo. Seems like they had the same thing in mind. Arriving in cla.s.s just on time.

Not to be rude, Kylo greeted all the girls, while Charlton just nodded at them and did not say anything as he entered the door.

Serena felt cold grip her heart. He did not deliberately ignore her per se. However, he seemed indifferent.

Gizel and Milly looked at Serena, she shook her head. That was actually better than the last time. But it doesn't mean that she doesn't feel hurt.

When they entered the cla.s.s, everyone was already present. Geoffrey turned to look at who entered, and when he saw her. He smiled.

Serena not wanting to be rude smiled back. She had been avoiding him since she arrived back in school. Not that she was certain that he has been looking for her.

Gizel whistled. "Now, would you look at that? It's like the world has turned upside down."

Then the three of them sat on their seats.
