Memories To Remember
Lucas opened the car door as he stepped out. Today was the first time he came to school without Lea and Pierre, Lucas felt something was missing. Of course, because his purpose in returning to school was only to monitor L-01. However, if the object being monitored cannot be present, it will make Lucas feel like he has really returned to his high school days which he only lived for one year.
Lucas is handsome, super genius, his name is very famous among scientists. After the young professor Pierre Malverick died, Lucas was often mentioned as Pierre Malverick's successor.
Lucas admitted that Pierre Malverick was his idol, a figure he really admired. However, Lucas hates being compared to Pierre Malverick. For him, Pierre Malverick is a figure who cannot be replaced.
"Good morning, Lucas?" Exactly three meters in front of him, Eva was standing while showing a sweet smile at Lucas, who today looked alone without Lea who was always near him.
Lucas glanced briefly at the face that he found so disgusting. Without returning the gentle greeting or just smiling, Lucas continued walking, ignoring Eva.
"Lu...Lucas, wait!" Eva exclaimed, trying to stop Lucas' footsteps. Even though he didn't want to serve, Lucas was forced to stop for a moment and looked back with a sadistic look that would make other people shudder.
"What?" Lucas asked coldly. People around the school yard were forced to focus their attention on this couple. For them, this is a very interesting thing, considering that Eva is a star at school and Lucas is a new student who is popular and whose name is constantly being discussed by many people.
"Where's Lea? Did Lea not go to school today?" asked Eva, who was still calm even though Lucas kept showing his displeasure.
"No!"
"Why? Is Lea sick?" Eva looked worried, even though in the eyes of other people her reaction looked sincere. But in Lucas' eyes, he was nothing more than a fox wearing a sheep's fur coat.
"Yes!" Lucas answered briefly. He really didn't want to stay in this place for long.
Hearing Lucas' answer, Eva fell silent and looked thoughtful. Lucas frowned, trying to guess the queen bee's train of thought.
"Lucas, I want to apologize to you for what happened that time in the music room. I feel very guilty!"
"Oh... I forgive you, can I go now?"
"Wa...wait...I beg you, don't misunderstand me! I don't have any bad intentions at all, I really want to be friends with Lea and also you, Lucas. Therefore, I beg you, do I still have a chance to close to you?" Eva asked earnestly, her eyes starting to get wet, making those who saw her feel touched.
Lucas really avoided things like this, getting involved with very troublesome people. That's why in his life, Lucas never wanted to have close friends, not because no one wanted to be friends with him, but because he was the one who didn't like making friends.
"Is that so? But, it looks like I also have to apologize to you because I'm not a person who likes making friends!" Lucas said as he walked away. Eva, who once again had to swallow rejection, didn't want to stay silent. She was really attracted to Lucas and somehow, Lucas had to feel the same way.
"Lucas, it's okay if you don't want to be friends with me. But, I won't give up! I'm sure one day you will take back your words!"
"Is that so? I understand!" It seems that this time Lucas won't look back and stop his footsteps.
Continuing to move forward was a principle he always adhered to whenever dealing with troublesome people. Behind him, Eva was silent, hiding her smile.
For Eva, it doesn't matter if Lucas is still trying hard to reject and ignore her. However, the attitude Lucas showed towards him proved that he didn't really hate him.
Meanwhile, when Lucas arrived at the corridor full of lockers, there was one more person he didn't want to meet, namely Rafael. Lucas remained calm and opened his locker as usual. Rafael, realizing Lucas' presence, slowly approached Lucas.
"Morning, Lucas? Is Lea not coming in today?" Rafael asked calmly. It was as if there had never been an argument between the two of them before. Or indeed at first, Rafael didn't feel there was a problem with Lucas. But Lucas was the one who openly showed his hatred.
Lucas was silent and tried to ignore the questions Rafael asked about Lea's whereabouts. Indeed, Lucas and Lea really look like a loving couple who are always together whenever and wherever. So if one of them is not present, it will definitely be obvious.
After changing his shoes, Lucas immediately left. Several people around the locker room were afraid to see him, especially since gossip about his fight with upperclassmen a few days ago spread. Making people feel that Lucas is a very strong person and is not afraid of anyone.
"He's really a dangerous person, isn't he? I heard that he even managed to defeat Sebastian and the famously strong upperclassmen. It's best not to get in trouble with him!" Voices of people talking about him began to be heard in every class and also in the school corridors.
There are those who feel afraid because of his unfriendly expression and dirty mouth that doesn't hesitate to criticize other people, there are also those who feel that Lucas is very cool because of his cold attitude which seems sadistic. However, for the girls, Lucas is still the cool guy they want to have.
"Because of this I really hate school, the people are always the same. It really makes me sick!"
Lucas remembered those moments again, the moment when the principles he had always held firmly, slowly collapsed because of a woman. Yes, the woman who made him always regretted her decision.

"Lucas, how are you?" Even today, that smile never fades from her beautiful face.
Lucas raised his face and looked at the beautiful woman who was standing right in front of his desk without expression. Lucas didn't understand why the woman kept trying to approach him when there were lots of men lining up neatly to ask him out on a date.
"What's wrong, Helena?" Lucas asked. This time he was forced to close the page of the book he was reading.
"Wow... there's been a little progress today, huh? You even looked at me and closed your book when talking to me!" the beautiful woman named Helena smiled. Even though her face was very beautiful, for some reason, Lucas couldn't feel anything.
"If you don't need anything, you should just go. I'm busy!"
"A book about Pierre Malverick again, huh? Looks like you really really idolize him, huh? Have you ever met him?"
"Yes, I have!"
"Wow...really? when? is he really so handsome?"
"I don't know..." Lucas was confused about how to explain it. The Pierre Malverick he met as a child was very different from the one in the photo.
The super genius young processor was a frail man who spent his time sitting in a wheelchair, with a thin body and a pale face. Yes, that was the Pierre Malverick he knew.
"So? He's not as handsome as the one in the photo? I heard, his face is very handsome and his body is also athletic, so..."
"Is a person's physique a very important assessment?" Lucas was starting to get annoyed. Talking about someone's physical condition is highly inappropriate. As long as the person has greatness and ability, physical appearance is not important.
"Lucas, I'm sorry! You're angry, aren't you?" Helena was scared. Lucas' anger was something he really avoided, because for him, Lucas was a very difficult person to approach.
"Helen, what are you doing?" a woman stood two meters behind Helena. A beautiful and elegant woman who is known to be very intelligent.
"Oh...Clara, hehe...I was just saying hello to Lucas!"
"Don't bother Lucas while he's studying! You should study more seriously. Aren't you embarrassed by Lucas who is much younger than you, but will soon get a master's degree?"
"Yes...yes, you bastard! Lucas, see you?" Helena immediately ran away while waving her hands.
"Lucas, forgive Helena, okay? She's really childish!"
"Yes, it is okay..."
His heart was beating fast. Strange, this is very strange. At that moment, for the first time in almost 17 years of his life, Lucas felt a strange feeling when he looked at a woman.
