Chapter 1
Just as I was about to leave Isabelle stopped me and asked with a curious look on her face "Hey Aiko are you doing something later." to which I answered "Well I was just gonna finish my homework then maybe watch some anime." Isabelle formed a faint smile upon hearing this, she then asked "If that's the case could you please help me with homework There's some formulas that I didn't quite get, and you're the only one I can ask that acually knows how to solve it.". Isabelle was a smart and hardworking person, but she always had a hard time with math so I often help her with homework before we go home, sometimes we go to a cafe and eat while we study, and other times we would go to the mall after we finished homework, so I sighed and said "Sure, so where are we going to do it?" Isabelle then looked to the side and laughed nervously before saying "How about we do it at my place, I mean if you want to, I can cook you dinner, and maybe even spend the night?" Isabelle's request surprised me, even though we've known each other for 10 years, I still don't feel comfortable spending the night at her place especially since she is now a grown woman now so I said "I can eat lunch with you if you like, I don't think I can stay over at your place, sorry." Just as I said that Isabelle's faint smile disappeared and changed into a slightly disappointed look and said "not even dinner?" to which I responded "Sorry.", she then sighed and said "Fine, let's go." and proceeded to call a taxi and said the location of her house.
Inside the taxi I asked Isabelle
"Isabelle?"
"Yes?"
"Is your home that far from school?"
"It usually takes me an hour to go to school from home, and that's by car"
" Woah! I didn't know you lived so far from school, it makes me wonder why you even chose the school we're currently on."
"It's because of you"
"Huh? what do you mean by that?"
"Well throughout middle school
"Wow thanks! I wouldn't imagine that you'd go to a school further from home just so you won't be alone when high school starts."
"Don't underestimate your importance to me, I would do a lot more just so we went to the same school."
"I'm honored. To have a friend like you, I couldn't ask for more."
Isabelle smiled at me then turned to face the road.
After an hour, they exitted the car and saw a three-story house. I was surprised to see such a luxurious house with a yard reaching hundreds of meters in length that I turned to Isabelle and asked
"Is this your home?"
"Yeah."
"Wow! I didn't know that you lived at such an amazing house."
"Well don't just stand there let's go."
She then grabbed my arm and pulled me to the entrance of the house.
At the entrance a beautiful maid greeted Isabelle politely, then turned to me and asked
"You must be Aiko, Isabelle's friend since middle school"
"Oh! Ah good afternoon"
Due to the shock Isabelle gave me, I only gave a brief greeting to the maid that welcomed us. The maid then smiled and I smile in response, Isabelle then said "Come on in, we still have lots homework to be done." I then removed my shoes and entered.
Inside I saw a very s.p.a.cious living room with a set of staircase leading to the second floor on the left, a comfy-looking couch on the right, a beautiful chandelier hang on ceiling, and a hallway that led to a galley kitchen which was next to the backyard. When I saw the insides of her house I was astonished, so much so that I didn't even hear Isabelle call my name, I only snapped out of it after Isabelle jumped in front of me calling my name once again in the process
"Aiko!!!"
"Huh! Oh, sorry about that"
"Geez, why are you s.p.a.cing out all of the sudden?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"Huh? why would I joke about that?"
"This is such a beautiful house! How can I not be amazed?!"
"Hahaha, Thanks, anyway let's go to the living room already, we still have to do our homework"
Isabelle then turned and went to the living room. In the living room, just before I grabbed my textbooks Isabelle asked "do you want something to drink?", and I answered "anything's fine", she then called for the maid and asked to bring some tea, personally I'm more of a coffee type of guy, but I'm not gonna complain about tea, I then grabbed my textbooks, and put them on the table in front of me, and started to study with Isabelle.
After a few minutes of studying the maid came in with tea in hand, and with me being thirsty I took a sip of one and set it aside for later, when i looked at Isabelle I saw her giving me a weird kind of smile, but I just thought of I as a normal smile, and that she was just happy that I came to her house or something, so we continue to study for the next few minutes. A few more minutes has pa.s.s, and I started to feel tired, sleepy, my eyelids feeling heavier, my body not responding when I try to move it, I turn to Isabelle and she asked
"Are you alright, is something wrong?"
"No, I think I'm just tired"
"Do you want to sleep first? we can just continue this later"

"I think I should go home for now, we'll continue this tomorrow", but just as I tried to get up I suddenly fell, but just before I got unconscious Isabelle walked up to me and said "It's ok you're in good hands now, just sleep and you'll be fine"
