When morning came, Samuel woke up in front of the Magic formation again with a frown on his face. “Dar* that girl, her smile is disturbing me for past few days, even though I go to and visit her dreams and punish her in various ways daily I still can’t keep it out of my head”. Feeling the pangs of hunger, Samuel decided to go downstairs and eat breakfast with Sir Gwen. Thinking that Sophia must be having a harder time than him made him laugh and feel better, causing Sir Gwen to have question marks floating on his head. “Come to think of it, your cool is a rather fun place, you should treasure it more” Sir Gwen while eating decided to start a conversation. “The past few days has been great to you, but try thinking in my shoes, every day I get called in the office of a rather suspicious old man… yuck, just the thought makes me shiver”. Sir Gwen with a displeased expression replied “*sighs* if I hadn’t brought you to the office and gave you a sermon, the other students will think I will always give you the best treatment because you’re my son… now enough blubbering let’s hurry, class is about to start”.
At school during recess, Samuel was looking for a nice place to sit when he saw Sophia under a cherry blossom tree and since he felt rather lonely eating alone, he decided to sit next to her even though he is still cross. Sophia was shocked by Samuel’s sudden appearance and wanted to start a conversation but was stopped each time by Samuel’s murderous glare as he ate his snacks in silence. Time passed slowly for the both of them when until Samuel decided to break the ice and start a small conversation. Each time Samuel talked, Sophia answered back in a respective but conserved manner. Samuel’ thinking that Sophia was looking down on him, got infuriated and stormed out towards class.

During class, Samuel didn’t remove the frown on his face even when Sir Gwen glared at him. When the bell rang Samuel quickly went outside the classroom and decided to go under the cherry blossom tree again so he could eat his lunch in peace when Sophia suddenly appeared behind a tree and blocked his path.
Samuel frowned even more as he glared at Sophia and decided to walk past her. After walking past Sophia, Samuel instinctively used a short distance teleportation spell he just learned a few days ago. To his surprise, a blade was pierced in the place he was on previously. Samuel thinking that Sophia wanted to kill him, got ready to use a destruction spell but hesitated when he saw her face tearing up. “I’m sorry if I offended you in some way!”
Samuel was shocked that Sophia suddenly apologized to him. He thought that her pride was too high for that, creating a better impression of her in his head. Samuel then felt his heart thumping wildly as and his face growing hot. Samuel thought that Sophia was actually quite adorable when she acts like that. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Sophia nervously asked as she twirls her hair using her fingers in which Samuel replied “ Beautif-“ Samuel bit his tongue as he realized what he was about to say. He then ran as fast as he can with his face blushing and dropped his bag unknowingly.
The following day, Sophia gave Samuel’s bag timidly with a blush on her face. The students who saw the scene then teased them. Making the two fidget around, much to everyone’s surprise. Samuel then thought of going in a relationship with Sophia as he didn’t want others to go near her. He then conveyed to Sophia that they should meet at the Sakura tree tomorrow as well as he has something to tell her. Sophia hearing this, could only repeatedly and walked away in a robotic manner.
