Chapter 40 Chapter 40- School Festival Announcement!

Kai eventually reached school where he found the students as usual, bustling around the door waiting for Eva to arrive.

Even though she had barely been in that school for a week, she already had a fanbase and even a secret fan club called 'Queen Eva's Admirers'. Her beauty and dazzling smile were akin to a blessing from god in the eyes of the students.

As Kai was about to enter the school, he noticed that the Limousine arrived which garnered whispers from the students as they anticipated Eva coming out.

The door was then opened by the driver and Eva walked out, revealing her stunning beauty. Everyone was immediately frozen in their places as they looked at her. For some reason, they noticed that Eva was different.

"Is it my eyes… or does she look even more beautiful than before?" One of them asked as he kept his eyes on her.

"Right… I felt it too. It's as if she's sparkling. Her smile looks even happier than before. Did something good happen to her this weekend?"

Murmurs echoed in the whole area while Eva simply smiled at them and walked past like a breeze. A whiff of her smell reached the students and made them freeze again. It was as if for a second, they smelled a flower from the heavens.

It was hypnotizingly good and considering their already high admiration for Eva, they could only follow after her like moths being attracted to bright flames.

And just like that, a beautiful woman walked, and behind her, a huge group of students were following closely like a personal army. However, the girl didn't seem bothered at all by their presence as all her thoughts and focus were on the young man walking ahead of her.

Her eyes didn't leave him from the moment she left the limousine.

'Finally, I got rid of the only insect that kept buzzing around me. I can finally focus on Kai and also that bitch that's trying to steal him from me. She had too much fine putting her dirty hands on my darling! I will murder her!' Her aura turned a degree colder, sending a shudder down the students' spines.

They all immediately stopped following her as they assumed that she hated the fact that they were barging into her personal space.

Reaching the classroom, Kai sat down in his chair and rested his chin on his hand as he looked outside as usual.

Eva reached the classroom a second later and sat beside Kai as she flashed him an affectionate smile before she pulled out her phone and sent him a message. (A//N: From now on, I will use [] for messages to make them easier to understand.)

[Did you sleep well last night?] She asked as she added a heart emoji.

Kai looked at the screen for a second before he nodded his head without replying with a message.

However, Eva noticed the subtle coldness in his eyes. Usually, Kai was a like a calm pond, cold yet also serene as if this world doesn't bother him anymore. However, that mood was now very subtly changed to be a little sharper, harsher, and rather ominous. Typical signs that Kai wasn't in a good mood.

Being next to him, watching him all the time, Eva learned to notice those changes… Not that Kai was trying to hide them actively either way.

So, with a small sigh, Eva typed again.

[Are you thinking about something?]

[I will tell you later. Now, look ahead.] He replied before he closed the phone.

Those words alone made Eva frown slightly. For Kai to specifically mention a problem to her was something extremely rare. This made her slightly worried. What is something that could bother the Black Phantom himself? The moon was about to fall on their heads? An earthquake will split the world in two? A zombie apocalypse? Such things are the only catastrophes that Eva assumed could pull a reaction out of Kai.

However, she didn't send any other message as she shook her head and looked at the blackboard at the same time the teacher entered.

"Good morning, everyone. Before we start, I have another announcement. We had many of those the past week. Ugh, more paperwork for me." The teacher rubbed the back of his head as he coughed a little. "Anyway, next week is the School Festival. You will have two hours after school to decide on what you want to do this year and assign the ones who will organize the event. The student council will put out more information on the school's website so please check it out."

'School festival?' At that word, Eva's ears perked as an idea popped into her head and a mischievous smile followed after.

'This is a good idea… A very good idea~' Snickering evilly like a child that was about to pull the biggest prank ever.

Hours passed peacefully and finally, the lessons were over and the teacher looked at his students.

"Who do you want to elect as the class president? Any volunteers?" He asked as he looked around.

Immediately, everyone averted their eyes as if they didn't even want to stare directly at the teacher which generated a long sigh from the poor man. However, at that moment, Eva lifted her hand with a confident smile.

"I volunteer to be the class president." She said.

Everyone looked at her with widened eyes before excited cheers erupted in the whole class. No one was more perfect than Eva for this role. She was brimming with confidence as if she could carry the weight of the whole world on her back and never flinch. She is the perfect leader.

In a sense, that was true for outsiders who didn't know Eva. However, when she's with Kai, her strong persona drops and she shows her vulnerability to him without thinking twice. She had a belief that no matter what problem she had, Kai could help her and solve it easily.

He was akin to a magician that can turn her sadness into happiness in a moment. Although Eva felt ashamed that she could only rely on him and rarely had an opportunity to help him out, she still couldn't stop herself from seeking that addictive feeling of being protected by him.

It was simply too good of a feeling to be ignored.

"Miss Eva? Hmm, certainly a good candidate. Who agrees raises their hand?" The teacher asked.

Immediately, everyone raised their hands. Everyone except Kai, who didn't seem bothered to even focus on the conversation going on.

"Hmm, I see. Well then, it seems that Miss Eva is our new class president. Now, Miss Eva, please come over here and select your vice president. You both will share the planning process of the school festival and then relay it to your peers."

Eva nodded her head and stood up before making her way to the podium.

After that, she gave the class a serious look.

"Thank you all for selecting me. I will do my best to make our event the best one this year. Now, for my vice president, I will choose…"

The atmosphere in the room tensed up as everyone gulped down a mouthful of saliva. Now, everyone wanted to be the vice president at all costs! Just the mere idea of spending time with their Queen planning the festival is like a dream.

'Choose me!'

'No, choose me!! Please!!'

'Mommy!! Please let me be your son!!'

Intense thoughts filled everyone's mind. Finally, Eva smiled and said.

"My vice president will be Kai Miller." She said.

*Silence*

At that moment, everything screeched to a halt as silence took over the place. The sound of a needle dropping on the ground would've been heard in that atmosphere.

A second later, a freezing cold aura submerged the class in a chilling sensation. Eva's face flinched slightly as she looked at a particular person with a nervous expression. For a second, she could swear she saw a snowy blizzard covering the whole room. As if they were sent back to the ice age in a split second.

'I think… I screwed up!!' She screamed in her head as she noticed the chilling cold gaze Kai gave her. His eyes pore daggers into her very being as if he stripped her naked and examined every inch of her body down to her very soul. While that was something she wished for, the current situation wasn't anywhere near that!

A few seconds later, Kai closed his eyes and sighed before he stood up. His face looked bored and calm but Eva knew that he didn't just calm down. In fact, the calmer Kai is the scarier he becomes.

'Gulp! I'm really screwed!! Dammit, I'm such an idiot! I'm a big, huge idiot!!' Eva screamed in her head.

"Mr. Miller is your choice? Hmm, well, that's not bad either. Please, step forward, Mr. Miller." The teacher said.

Kai nodded as he stepped forward and stood beside Eva, towering over her silhouette that looked smaller than usual at the moment. Was it not for her abnormal ability in hiding her expression, she would've instantly crumbled under the pressure Kai was exuding at the moment.

"Why is that guy?! Why is he chosen?!"

"Goddamit!! My dream! My goal in life!! It was crushed!!"

"I swear she looked at me longer than anyone else! She must've made a mistake and instead of saying my name, she said his!! Right, guys?"

"The creepy guy is the lucky one?! Why does that sound like the development of a generic manga?! Is this world not real?! Huh, answer me, god!!"

Such comments could be heard everywhere but Kai didn't pay them no heed as he stared at the wall on the other side of the room.

"Silence! Now, these two are the ones who will organize the plan for the festival. Share your ideas with them."

A//N: For those who question why Kai would go out of his way to help Eva. When their past is revealed, everything will make sense :) Thanks for reading
