She engulfed him in a hug and?Neon hugged her back, a smile crossing his features. Without Ailee even knowing, he sniffed her hair, savoring the strawberry-scented shampoo she had used, before burying his face into her hair.
It felt nice, this moment. If only it could last forever, he wished. However, at that same time, the strange message he had received on his phone crossed his mind and he stiffened. Unfortunately, Ailee noticed his reaction and pulled away at once.
“Hey, is everything alright?” she asked, brows drawn together.
“Of course, I’m fine,” He lied through his teeth. Neon wondered if he should tell Ailee the truth since she was the closest to him, however, what if he was making a huge deal out of nothing. His mother was in a safe mental asylum and if she did escape, the hospital would have notified them already.
Perhaps, he was worrying too much and whoever sent that message must have been to the wrong person. Yes, that must be it. There was no cause for alarm.
“Why do you ask?” he asked, making up his mind to keep the secret from her.
“I don’t know, just thought you trembled all of a sudden,” Ailee couldn’t explain it.
“Is nothing,” Neon smiled at her, his eyes fixed on the way she sucked the lollipop. The sweet moved freely inside her mouth while her lips held the stick still even as she talked.
Her lips…
Neon gulped, clenching his fist tight by his side. Right now, he looked like a vampire unable to control his blood lust any longer. Yeah, that was how crazy Ailee was driving him.
His heart pounded hard in his chest and he imagined pushing her against the nearest wall and kissing the life out of her. God, he felt a reaction down there and he groaned inwardly. He had to control himself, he couldn’t scare her with his feelings.
Ailee was innocently exploring the coconut flavored lollipop Neon had given her when she glanced up and her eyes connected with his darkened eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat, it was that look again – the one he had given her that day when they fell. Unfortunately, this one was more intense, and sincerely, it scared her.
“Why are you staring at me that way?” Ailee was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
“How does it taste?” he asked back.
“What?” Ailee was still asking when he snatched the lollipop from her mouth and put it in his, beginning to lick it without even wiping off her saliva on it. She shivered, does he even know that was an indirect kiss?
“Mmm, delicious,” Neon moaned, shutting his eyes close as he tasted the lollipop.
For some strange reason, Ailee found that innocent move by Neon was quite sexy and her cheeks burned. She felt like the air around them had dwindled. God, why was this place suddenly hot?
“Do you want it back?” Neon asked, pulling the sweet out of his mouth after a while.
“No,” Ailee said immediately. Was she crazy? She’d be tasting his saliva then? God, this was crazy, she had to leave.
“See you in class,” Ailee quickly hurried out of the place.
“Hey, wait for me!” Neon went after the girl who hightailed it out of there.
However, none of them get to see Allen come out of his hiding place with his brows furrowed at them.

The third point of view:
Ailee got back to class and wasn’t surpised by the absence of her brother since they didn’t share the current subject. However, her searching gaze found Eve and guilt gnawed at her heart. She misjudged the girl from the first place thinking she got the hots for her brother.
With a sigh, Ailee headed in her direction and stood in front of her with, “Hi,”
Eve glanced up at her, looking quite surpised by her prescence. Her look was questioning, as if asking, ‘are you talking to me?’ However, in the next minute, the girl turned her gaze away from her disinterestedly causing furrows to appear on Ailee’s face.
“If you’re here to defend your brother, then I’m sorry to inform you that you’re wasting your time with me. I didn’t look into your brother’s answer and would never admit that,” Eve said firmly, her head held high.
All she had done was get a perfect score on a test and rumours had already spread across the school that she copied from Allen. The whole morons forgot the fact that she had been the only one who got a prefect score. Where Allen had failed, she had succeeded, so why would she need to peep at his work?
“I believe you,” Ailee said.
Her head turned to the side, her mouth opened in surpise as she stared up at Ailee, “You believe me?”
“Of course,” Ailee said, rolling her eyes, “My brother has an obsession with winning and like you said, he’s just a sore loser,”
“Actually,” Ailee added, “That’s why I’m here,” she confessed, “To apologize for his attitude. You didn’t deserve what he did to you and it was disrespectful,”
“If anyone’s going to apologize, it would be your brother,” Eve insisted.
“In that case then, you shouldn’t have your hopes high. My brother is a arrogant, haunty asshole and you would never receive an apology from him till the day he dies,” she told her.
Eve sighed, wiping her face with her palm. She then asked Ailee, “How are you even twins with him? You both are so different from eachother,”
Ailee gave a heavy sigh as well, “Trust me, I keep asking that question everyday. By the way, how’s your shoulder? I saw the way my brother gripped you, that must have hurt like shit,”
“Oh, this,” Eve said and then flexed the injured shoulder, “It’s nothing, doesn’t hurt at all and I can’t tell if there would be a bruise until I get a wound. But don’t be bothered by that because this is the least injury I’ve experienced. I grew up naughty and injured myself a lot of time,”
“Gosh!” Ailee exclaimed, “It was the same thing for me as well. Trust me, Allen wasn’t like this before and together we both were formidable pranksters as kids,” She narrated her experience as well.
“Really, that’s cool,” Eve then lifted her kneel and showed her a scar across her leg, “I got this one in a water pistol game, I tricked and defeated the kids at the game. However, karma paid me back by making me trip and I cut my skin against the edge of a stone,” She showed her.
“Wow,” Ailee then lifted her sleeve and showed off her own scar proudly, “Tried to sneak into my father’s office and got caught by the metal edge of the ceiling. This darkened patch was from an experiment gone wrong. This one here was a bite from our albino mouse, Mr. Smuff junior – may his soul rest in peace when I tried snatching his food from him, ” she?went ahead to show her the rest of them.
“Wow,” Eve was astonished as well, both girls smiling at eachother.
“You know I kind of like you,” Eve admitted.
“Me too,” Ailee admitted, even though her opinion of her changed at first. But then, she proved her wrong, so why couldn’t she be friends with her?
“And we haven’t even introduced ourselves properly,” Eve said, composing herself by bringing down her leg and then readjusted herself on her seat before stretching her hand to say, “Hi, I’m Eve Donovan and it’s nice to see you,”
