"So, your project got sold?" Elena asked.

"Yes!"

"Who was the buyer?"

"I didn't see his face"

"Uh…what?"

"He didn't come"

"You mean...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 some guy from my class was messing with me, but then he asked to meet"

"You shouldn't meet strangers"

" I am not a kid. At first, I wasn't sure of the meeting, but later he said he wanted to make some more deals, and he has some terms and conditions. So I had to go"

"And he didn't come?"

"No, he didn't. I was waiting for him, but he never came. I was both annoyed and frustrated at the same time. And as I was about to leave, I got a call, and he made a deal with me like that"

"What was his deal?"

"He wanted to buy my materializing project, and he was giving me money for it"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"But he was asking for some conditions"

"Like?"

"He said that I shouldn't tell anyone about this project, nor ever mention it in front of anyone. And if someone asks me 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 me extra"

"How much did you sell it for?"

"20"

"Twenty thousands?!"

"No"

"Then?"

"Twenty million" 

"What the--are you kidding me?!"

"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 me, and helped me to complete it"

"Then you will give some 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 mean, he specially came 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 me? 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 me! 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 something stupid?"

"When the first time I saw him, he looked so lifeless, so emotionless. He looked like a living doll with no emotions or life in it"

"You mean, 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 me...you were into him even before you met?!"

"No. There was this girl who always dragged me 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 came to me and became friends with me. We hung out so much. We ate lunch together, and we even played games 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 some kind of accident in your school, and was hospitalized?"

"Yes. She was badly injured"

She is the same girl that Das had beaten in the cafeteria.

Later she was hospitalized, and after some 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 meet her last week at the hospital"

"What is wrong with you?!"

"But I couldn't help it! She has really helped me 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 meet her at the hospital?"

Elena shook her head.

"I will tell him!"

"Please don't! I want to tell him myself"

"Promise me you won't do something stupid like this without asking me?"

"You are enjoying this aren't you?"

"I will call Das"

"Fine, fine"

"Nice"

"Sely you meanie"

"I am doing this for your own good. I am sure Das would have done the same"

"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 some teacher to have him tutor you?"

"No. It was a pure coincidence! I wanted to talk with him many times, but I was  afraid. The one day, the teacher called me and said he is going to tutor me"

"That really doesn't look like a coincidence"

Indeed. It was planned by none other than their grandfather, Caleb Huer.
