Her Feeling

"Let's go back. Tomorrow, you have to wake up early for the exam," Leon said. He didn't give her time to respond; he walked toward the house. 

Allynna, who was speechless in her place in a hurry, chased after him, but Leon's wide steps made her fall behind. She walked quickly after him and walked in silence until they arrived on the second floor.

She, staring at Leon's back, disappeared behind his bedroom door. After his bedroom door closed, she also walked into her room with mixed feelings.

Standing frozen behind the bedroom door, she places her hands on her chest, trying to feel her heartbeat. She felt like there was a war drum inside her heart — this was something she had never felt before. 

"What is this? Why do I feel like this?" Allynna asks herself.

Allynna couldn't recognize this nameless feeling, but she could feel her heart beating fast whenever she imagined his face.

She touched her forehead, trying to feel her body temperature. She was shocked; her body temperature felt so hot. 

Allynna was afraid she had a fever because tomorrow she had the final exam.

"Dear God, please don't make me sick. I have to be healthy," Allynna prayed. She blames herself for standing by the sea for too long.

Allynna immediately went to the bathroom to clean up, but her step stopped by the mirror when she saw her reflection.

She gasped in suprised when she saw Leon's coat still hanging on her body.

A faint smile graced her lips as she touched the coach gently. She tightened the coat to envelop her tiny body. But what she did made her mind chaotic once more. She could feel Leon hugging her with his coat and smell Leon's familiar scent. 

'Gosh, Allynna!!' She couldn't hide how happy she was, but when he saw her cheek had turned red, blushing. Instantly, she took off his coat and threw it away on the table.

After a few minutes in the bathroom, Allynna feels fresher after drying her wet hair. In her white nightgown, she walked into the bedroom.

She tried to divert her mind, which was filled with images of Leon, but it was difficult to distract her until her gaze landed on the historical book on the desk.

For the last time, she will try to read the book before tomorrow's first exam starts. Two subjects, History and Science, will be tested on the first day. Math will be held on the last day.

For Science and Math, she is not worried. The subject was so easy for her. But for History, she's not confident. Only in the last few weeks had she felt interested in learning it.

Allynna lay on her bed while reading the book.

After some time,

"My Lady...My Lady..."

Allynna was surprised to hear Lella's voice near her. She slowly opened her eyes, but a second later, she closed her eyes again because the bright light suddenly blinded her eyes.

She tried to open her eyes again while trying to think, but her mind was still not working clearly.

Allynna remembered that she had been reading a history book the previous night, and only the bedside lamp was turned on. But now, the room was brightly lit while Lella stood worriedly at the side of her bed.

'Am I dreaming, or is it already daytime?' Allynna thought confusedly.

It didn't take long for Allynna to realize. 

"Oh my god, did I oversleep?" Allynna quickly got up and looked at the clock. She was relieved she wasn't late. But she didn't have much time either. She ran to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, with her body wrapped in a bathrobe, she exited the bathroom and found her school uniform neatly folded on a neat bed.

Lella approached Allynna and tried to help her put on her uniform. Allynna refuses, but Lella insists on helping because it is her job.

Allynna felt shy because it was the first time someone had seen her nearly naked body other than her mother. Because she didn't have much time, so she just gave in and stood still while Lella put the uniform on her.

After making sure her clothes were neat, she took her bag from the table, but Lella had already picked it up before she touched the bag.

"After you, my lady—" Lella said, allowing Allynna to walk first.

Allynna could only smile. This little girl is so handy and takes good care of her so well that she is starting to like her. 

Leon was already waiting for her when Allynna arrived at the dining room. 

"Miss Allynna, if you just stare at me without starting to eat, I can assure you that you won't be able to take your final exam."

Last night, he gave her a breakfast warning at precisely 7 AM, but this girl was 20 minutes late.

"You have 10 minutes left—" Leon's voice sounded calm, but in Allynna's ears, she seemed to hear Leon scolding her.

"Leon, I don't need to take my breakfast. I have to leave now," Allynna wanted to go to school immediately. And right now, she wasn't hungry either.

But, looking at the look in Leon's eyes, it seemed like he was saying — there was no compromise on that matter. You have to have breakfast.

Allynna immediately sat down at her place. She takes her breakfast quickly.

It only took her 5 minutes to finish her breakfast. She immediately stood up. After she said goodbye to Leon, she rushed outside.

As Allynna passed the main door, she heard Leon calling her. She stopped while looking at him.

"Yes, what is it?" Allynna asked Leon, who was now standing before her. But he didn't say anything.

She saw him raise his hand and place his thumb on her forehead. Surprised by his action, she stood in her place and did not dare move a single inch. And, the moment Leon touches her skin, she feels her mind become calm, like a wave of light imparted in her brain.

Allynna stared into his eyes in shock.

"S-Sir Leon, what are you doing to me?"
