Sorcha looked at the thing Marion gave her. It was a bottle filled with green-like paste that seems to be an ointment for treating scars."You don"t have to give me this." Sorcha said.
"Take it." Marion declared coldly, still on a bad mood then turned to leave, not even bothering to wait for a thank you.
Curious glances swept from Sorcha to Marion then from Marion to Sorcha.
"He came just to give you that?" Ryan said confused.
"I don"t know." Sorcha answered.
"We"re you two close?" Luke asked bewildered.
"No we"re not. We just happened to b.u.mp into each other yesterday and he saw that I was hurt a bit." Sorcha explained.
Ryan just looked at her still feeling confused and said to himself, "I must be insane to think that he"s interested in her" he shook his head inwardly to remove that thought.
On the other hand, as if figuring something out, a light ignited at Luke"s head, "Oh! so that"s why." He said seriously but his gaze contained some hidden meaning.
"Yes. It was really just like that." Sorcha said to make it clear, noticing the gaze Luke gave her.
"Yeah it"s just like that." Luke answered then whistled to the sky as if he didn"t know anything.
Sorcha puffed her cheeks feeling wronged about Luke"s actions then said, "I"m leaving." She glared then turned around and left.
Luke suddenly let out the laugh he"d been trying to suppress.
"What"s wrong?" Rica asked.
"Pfft~ nothing." Then just continued to laugh.
Rica gave him a dissatisfied look and said, "Is it just me, or you guys also think that Sorcha was cute when she puffed up her cheeks?"
"She is." Edmund said shyly.
"I think so as well." Ryan also answered in his heart.
Then they left one by one, confused with their own thoughts.
~~
Remembering how Sorcha treated the others compared to how she treated him with coldness, Marion felt mad inside.
"How could she get close to them, and not to me?" He grumbled to himself, then suddenly shaked his head heavily. "What"s going on with me? I"ve been out of myself lately."
After that, he turned his car"s engine and drove.

"Mom, I"m home!" Sorcha shouted after not seeing her at the garden nor at the living room.
Aria took a peek at her from the kitchen then shouted back, "Dear, come down early later ah! I"m cooking dinner."
"Okay mom!" Sorcha answered then walked towards her room.
"Hmph! That Luke! I really should give that kid a lesson!" She fumed.
"And what"s up with his older brother, actually giving me this?"
She took out the ointment he gave her.
"It looks expensive huh, it would be a waste to just throw it."
She opened the bottle then applied some to her hand. "Although I don"t really care about having a scar, it would be better if this is effective." she said.
After that, she jumped onto her bed satisfied.
"Sigh~ really comfortable ah!" She lied there, no longer thinking about what happened earlier.
