After they sat in the school garden, Raina asked, "Diora, you don't want to go out with Cyrus?"

Shaking her head, Claia answered, "No. I don't like him. Right in front of the students, I rejected him. He won't forget that for sure.

Sekar remarked, "But he's kind to you now, and he's changed dramatically; his appearance must be the result of your rejection; he might want to be welcomed by you again."

"If I accept it, it will be his turn to exact revenge on me," Claia retorted.

Her friends all exchanged glances.

"But Diora, you frequently claim to be being pursued by Linus. If you start dating Cyrus, he might be able to defend you, and Linus won't bother you since you already have a significant other," stated Evelyn.

Claia asked in her heart , "Is that okay?" But she thought it was incorrect. If he truly intends to do that, she is abusing Cyrus. She gave a headshake. "I intended to manipulate her emotions. I wouldn't carry out that," she thought.

In the past, Claia kept her feelings to herself because she lacked companions and no one with whom to discuss them. She often daydreamed. She would discuss her issues with a friend if she had one. Now, she frequently discusses her current issues with Evelyn, Ekar, and Raina. They frequently discuss Diora's daily activities at this school as well. Jethro would be approached and surrounded by some males if DIora, Sienna, and Joana were in the canteen and Jethro wasn't present. When Claia heard that, her brows wrinkled. Diora was surrounded by a lot of lads in the memory that also came to mind, but she remained composed the entire time and responded to every word with a chilly, short, solid, and clear tone.

She can gradually develop into Diora.

"Look! Who is arriving? Asks Sekar.

Claia and her two buddies cocked one side of their heads. Claia can see Noah coming her way. He hid his hands in his pockets and kept his head turned away, appearing to be dodging Claia's menacing glare.

Claia asked herself, "That boy again?" She thought, "I hope he's not looking for trouble with me."

Although Claia urged her companions to go, Noah approached her first and struck up a conversation with her right away.

"You three can go?" Noah request to Evelyn, Ekar, and Raina, "I want to talk with Diora in private. "

They were fixated on Diora. Claia shook her head and warned her three friends not to let her be alone with this badboy in this location. But she received nods from her three friends. "Diora, we won't travel very far from your location. From there, we'll observe," said Raina.

"Diora, we'll wait there," Ekar murmured.

Even faster, Claia shook her head. "No-no. I can't be left here by myself. I'll come with you all!"

Noah took Claia's hand as soon as she started to walk. Noah's touch caught Claia off guard. She slapped her palm down after instantly raising it high. However, Noah continued to hold on to her hand. The hold this terrible boy has is incredibly tight.

Claia yelled, "Let me go!"

"Let her go, Noah!"

When Noah heard Diora's new friend's voice, he felt resentment building within of him. He glanced briefly at Evelyn. Evelyn was beginning to feel afraid.

"Go away, you guys! Simply observe Diora from a distance! "Because I'm the only one who can get close to her," Noah said.

He exudes such confidence. Claia intends to assault Noah. When Diora beat up some thieves, Claia remembered her memory.

Claia pondered, "I have to learn martial arts after this."

"Do you want to talk to me or I'll kiss you now?"

"You...If you kiss me, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life," Claia said sharply.

"That is amusing. I want to get even closer to you."

Claia had no choice but to squeeze Noah's face with her other hand because of that disgusting expression on his face. She was not interested in hearing what this bad boy had to say. Diora's other hand was stopped from touching Noah's face when Noah caught it.

"I hate rebellion the most. But..."

"Shut up! Let me go! I will listen but let go of my hand first! It hurts!" Claia snapped. Emotion flashed across her shining face.

Noah responded, "All right." He gave up holding Diora's hand.

Claia alternately brushed against Noah's gripped wrists. She is beginning to exact her retribution on Tiara's friends, such as Sienna and Joana, but what about Tiara's male friends, who frequently abuse her? Like Noah. She is weaker than they are. She would start to get anxious and break out in a cold sweat if he thought about it again.

Claia pondered, "In fact, I believe that learning martial arts is the only way."

Noah said, "Diora, I want to ask for accountability."

"What obligation?" She inquired.

Claia retreated as Noah brought his face closer to hers.

"I'm going to tell you, so don't back down. Diora, I have no bad intentions. Only the two of us can know what I want to talk about."

"What topic would you like to discuss?"

"That's why I'm here whispering!" Noah snapped.

Noah murmured to Claia. However, Claia remained silent.

"You can be boisterous without placing your mouth in my ear."

"Agreed, okay. As a result, I want you to take responsibility for the numerous times you touched me. To clarify, I actually do not desire that. You appear to really want it, so I accept it. So I can't do anything else," Noah said.

Claia did not comprehend. She continued to struggle to comprehend Noah's words after a while. When he realized something, he furrowed his brows.

"Liar. You believe me to be stupid?" She inquired.

"....?"

"I never considered you to be stupid. Return my virginity if you don't want to take responsibility!" Noah snapped.

"How do I assume responsibility?" She inquired.

"For instance, dating me. I will not request anything serious. I won't carelessly touch you. Additionally, I will never compel you, let alone harm you. "Basically, I want you to guard of me," Noah said, emphasizing his point.

Guard?

"Guard from what?" She inquired.

"Diora, I was surprised that you turned out to be so stupid. "Good," Noah thought.

"Like Jethro protecting you from hurtful people. I additionally need to be safeguarded like that by you. As a result, you need to be willing. That's how I ask for accountability."

"What? Can't."

"Why does it not? Is it simply because I'm a man? But you're even more powerful than I am," Noah argued.

Claia was beginning to lose her mind. Numerous times, thoughts of Diora and Noah came to mind. The two rarely interact with one another physically. The conversation is brief, and the subject is school.

"Do I have to be so responsible? Hold on. This does not make any sense to me. I can pay you back for your actions or-

"Then return my virginity!" Noah spoke sternly.

Claia gave Noah the appearance of a guarded beast. "All of your words are just words that don't mean anything! I hate you!"

"Even though I have complied with your wishes," said Noah in a sad tone.

"Yesterday and today were different. If I have to, I'm willing to take responsibility by giving up my life, but I won't date you. My heart is all I have. I hope you get that."

Claia then turned around and left Noah, who was frozen by his words. Noah laughed. He licked his lips' corners.

"Now I understand. Now that I think about it, I no longer believe that I was only interested in your body. Why now, DIora?" Noah whispered.

Claia looked back to see how Noah would react. She lowered her pupils. Noah's smile resembles that of an her upperclassman.

"Diora, Are you ok ?" Sekar asked. "It looks like you two got into a fight."

Claia merely gave a head shake. "Jeremy? Where is he?" She pondered in her heart.
