1.25 Young master Charles can't live without his Doll.

When Mia arrived in her apartment, it was pass 8pm. Since she had eaten her dinner in Charles's home, she directly went to sleep. As she began to fall asleep, her mind replayed the words which Charles said, before leaving her to go home.

"I'll give you two options. One, you pack your things and stay with me. Two, I'll pack my things and stay with you. I want us to be together, Understand?. I'll give you a day to decide."

"Ahhhh!," Mia screamed and kicked her legs in the air. What kind of boyfriend does she really have?! They are 18! not 22 or 25 to live together! They aren't even couples!

Mia clutched her hairs and groaned in frustration. Why did she say I like you in the first place? If she didn't say it, then he wouldn't suggest the 'living together' idea. She looked at the ceiling of the roof and mumbled, "Does he like me too?." For as long as she remembered, she never heard Charles saying 'I like you' or 'I love you' to her, once. Does he like her, or her body?

"Ahhh! I'm going crazy", she grabbed a pillow and muffled her scream with it. It's been seven weeks, and her mission completion bar has been stucked on 10%. If she keeps on moving this way, then she'll probably need 2 or 3 years to complete the main mission. She looked at the ceiling and thought about her situation.

When she entered into the new world, all she wanted was to get out as quick as she could. When she met Charles, all she felt for him was hatred. She promised herself to stay focused on her mission and get out of this world within a year. But....now-

"No, no, no. Mia, don't let your feelings lead you astray. Your mission is to fulfill the wishes of this body, and leave the world! You aren't supposed to think about these unnecessary stuff," appeasing her inner turmoil, Mia took a deep breath.

Her mission, to become famous and leave the world as soon as she could.

She massaged her temples in frustration. Though she wanted to leave the world as soon as she could (before), she was now feeling somewhat reluctant to part away from it.

Sighing, she took her phone and called her grandmother. It didn't take too long for the call to be picked up. It seems like her grandmother was somewhere in the streets, the loud noises of honking by various vehicles echoed through the phone.

After narrating her 'fake classes sessions', Mia bid a sweet goodnight and end the call. She grabbed her school bag and took out her music note. After scribbling on the music note for three hours straight, she felt her eyelids turning heavier. Letting out an unladylike yawn, she picked the scattered papers and arranged them accordingly. After cleaning her study table, she went to take a good sleep.

The next day, Mia was surprised to find Charles standing beside her driver. 'How long was he waiting here?', she thought as she walked over to him. Dan lowered his head and bid good morning. As his driver's habit, he went and opened the back door of the car, waiting for his miss to get in.

Charles looked at this 'perfect' driver and narrowed his eyes. He turned to Mia and gave her the other helmet, which he was holding for quite a while. Mia looked at the red and black colour helmet in confusion and a tint of excitement. She looked at Charles with twinkling eyes and licked the corner of her lips.

Charles chuckled and signalled with his head, "get on. I'll ride you to school." Dan, who was holding the car door, was left flabbergasted. In the beginning, he thought that the boy was waiting for his friend or whoever he didn't know, but he never thought that the boy was waiting for his young miss! He hurriedly closed the door and stood in front of his miss, hiding Mia from Charles.

A flash of killing intent passed through Charles's eyes, but it vanished as soon as it came. Dan's sudden action brought warmth to Mia's heart. She giggled and tapped Dan's shoulder, "He's my boyfriend. So you needn't worry about me. He's here to pick me up for school, so you can go back. Consider it as your bonus leave." Without realizing the effects of her words, Mia walked pass Dan's protection hands barrier and climbed on the white sports bike.

Charles smirked at Dan's hilarious reaction and put on his helmet. He held the throttle of the bike and moved it, producing sounds which made Mia's stomach to churn. Her adrenaline rushed throughout her body, bringing a sense of anxiety, yet undeniable excitement. Charles placed his leg on the ground and made a sharp curve, causing Dan to jump away in fright.

Charles's slight disappointment on his face was concealed by his helmet. Mia turned her head and said to Dan, "you needn't pick me up after school." Charles made a loud noise, accompanying Mia's sentence. Dan looked at the boy's eyes, which were hidden under the helmet. Shivering, he nodded to Mia.

Mia wrapped her arms around Charles's waist and said in excitement, "Let's roll!."

*Vrrrroooooommmm.....

Charles made a loud noise in reply. He moved his throttle and drove the bike out of the underground parking area, leaving Dan anong the dust particles. Dan immediately took out his phone and called the old madam. Old madam would probably be frightened if she knew that her granddaughter had a boyfriend.

Mia enjoyed the drive to school. When she reached the school, her face showed reluctance and heartache while leaving the sport bike. Charles laughed and suggested, "let's go for a ride after school." Mia instantly became excited. Oh how she wished the school bell to ring for going home.

When Mia and Charles entered the campus together, most of the students on their way to their specific departments were looking at the pair with various emotions. Envy, regret and hatred could be seen in most of the girls's eyes. While the boy's reflected jealousy, surprise, praises, adoration and curiosity in their eyes.

Mia wasn't bothered by the scrutinized look from the girls. Even she felt it difficult to accept that Charles Davis, the most handsome student of Angel highschool and the villain of the novel, 'Mr.Connor's adorable girlfriend' as her boyfriend. While thinking about this, she reached her department building before she knew it. While walking upstairs, she suddenly bumped into a schoolmate. She smiled and said, "good morning Brian."

Though she barely knew this particular student, she felt him quite pleasant to look at. Brian smiled at Mia, but paled as soon as he saw the person behind her. He immediately lowered his head and hurriedly walked passed Mia. While passing Charles, his body uncontrollably trembled in fright. Charles turned to Brian and said a smile, "morning. Brian."

Brian would have fainted on the spot. He gave a stiff nod and hurried downstairs, leaving Mia in confusion. She looked at Brian's departing figure and asked, "did he see a ghost or something? His face looks abnormally white." Charles smiled and asked, "are you worried about him?."

Mia opened her mouth to reply, 'kind of', but blurted out, "No." Charles chuckled as he followed Mia to the classroom.

Most of the students in the half-way, who were discussing in loud voices instantly quietened when Mia and Charles came into their view. They pretended to be invisible when the pair walked passed them. Though Mia was confused and curious by the strange behaviour, she didn't want to bother herself with unknown stuff.

When she entered the classroom, she was immediately pulled into a bear hug. As soon as she touched the other person's body, she was instantly pulled from behind, causing her body to crash against the culprit's body. Flabbergasted, she looked up and found Charles, glowering at Stephen. He possessively wrapped his arms around Mia's waist and warned Stephen, "don't touch her. First, and last warning."

Stephen awkwardly scratched his neck. He scrambled to Sian and complained pitifully, "wuuuu....my love, leader is bullying me. Help me." Sian ignored her boyfriend's pitiful cries and looked at Mia. She raised a brow in amusement. Mia looked down her waist and blushed. She pinched those naughty hands and escaped away from it, "g-good morning, guys."

Sian smiled and replied as if nothing happened, "morning Mia." Robin glanced at Mia and gave a slight nod in reply. Stephen stood up and saluted, "good morning leaders." Mia giggled in return. Charles rolled his eyes to Stephen's unique greeting.

Catherine, who was being termed as 'invisible' among the five students, looked at Mia with an unknown glow in her eyes. She glanced at Charles, who was affectionately gazing at Mia. Irritated, she looked away and continued her written music exercises.

After taking their respective seats, it was time for the first class, which was foreign melody studies. Before starting the class, Miss Ruby questioned the students, whether they're participating in the upcoming 123rd Night Street Performance (123rdNSP).

Mia immediately raised her hands up. Followed by Sian, Stephen, Robin and Catherine. Mia turned to Charles and blinked in confusion, 'Is he not interested?'. Charles smiled and playfully caressed Mia's leg with his shoe.

His actions were well hidden by the chairs and desk, so no one knew what was going on, under those chairs.

Mia glared at Charles. In return to her glare, Charles gave an innocent smile. Mia would have almost fell for it, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent. She didn't want to embarrass herself.

When Mia and her classmates received the participation forms, they spent their time, thinking and discussing the places they wanted to cover. The 123rdNSP was opened to everyone. Age, gender, colour, size or the status of the person wasn't apply in this night street performance. If one had the talent to attract crowds, then he/she/it would be considered as talented performers.

The 123rdNSP would be held at the Rock Park Avenue, from 2/4/ to 8/4/ of the month April (7days). It would begin at the time of 5 pm, and closes at 10pm. The public would be given free access to come in and enjoy the performances. Each one of them would be given two chances in a day to vote. They can either vote for the same performer twice, or give a vote to a different performer. The best thing in this night street festival was that all the performers would be given a chance to go live.

Not only in Lon city, but the whole world could see their skills and talents (only if the viewers decided to watch their channel). Online voting and direct voting would be opened from 6pm to 10:30 pm. So, basically it's the public decision. Whether the performer is talented or not would be decided by the public. Though it was a good way to become famous overnight, it could also be a nightmare.

Imagine a crowd of two hundred people, staring at you blankly with no emotions but boredom, it would probably cause the performer to faint in anxiousness and fright.

Holding the determination in her heart, Mia gave her participation form to Miss Ruby. She hoped that her decision would bring her luck, instead of a curse.
