The Eternal Bound-Chapter 49: Jealous

A brand new sports car stopped in the school parking lot. Everyone tried to guess who would get out of the luxury car until they gasped in amazement when a man in a uniform got out of the driver's seat. Several female students gossiped happily, pushing each other to approach the foreign boy.

However, gasps of amazement were heard again when the passenger door opened. A girl, smaller than her companion, came out with a shy expression. Her golden hair swayed in the wind. Her cheeks were slightly reddish because of the cold weather. Her pupils were naturally red. But in that new place, people seemed to think those eyes were the effect of the lenses she was wearing.

No one knew the two students, so it was certain that they were there as new kids. Valan held Triqi's hand, passing through the crowd after Valan put on his annoyed face. Triqi, who was led by him, kept her head down. She was afraid of being considered strange in her new school.

After going to the principal's office to find out about their class, Valan's face hanging his scary expression. His hand still wouldn't let go of Triqi's until they arrived at her class.

"Let go of my hand, Valan. I'll be fine here. You go find your class," Triqi shooed while trying to untie their linked hands. The hallway of their new school was already quiet because the bell had rung. Triqi could even hear the teacher's voice explaining inside, a sign that her class had started.

Valan's face became increasingly sour. "I don't want us to be separated. I'll go with you to this class. Whether they like it or not."

Triqi immediately blocked when Valan was trying to open the door to her class. Valan's aura was getting darker, and Triqi knew that was not a good sign.

"My class can only accept one more person. Your class is next to mine, Valan. Stop being childish and go to your class," said Triqi, trying to explain. Triqi's slender body continued to try to block Valan from entering her class. She didn't want to get into trouble on her first day.

"Besides, if we separate, I might be able to make new friends. That way, I don't have to always depend on you," Triqi tried to persuade again. Triqi started to get restless. She wanted to go in immediately and start the lesson she had often missed.

Valan's eyebrows dived sharply. Triqi swallowed roughly. She didn't know what else she did wrong this time until Valan frowned even more.

"You don't need friends. You already have me. I'll be mad if you ever stop depending on me Triqi," Valan warned. Triqi immediately nodded quickly. She was thinking hard until an idea came to mind, and she immediately kissed Valan's lips.

"I'll only be apart from you during class time. I love you. Don't make me mad because you act like you don't trust me."

It worked. Valan stopped trying to break in after Triqi said that. His face still looked annoyed. He, without warning, crushed Triqi's lips roughly and let go when Triqi hit his chest hard. He didn't forget to leave a mark in a place that people could see before leaving Triqi's class with a satisfied smile.

"As a sign that you are mine," said Valan, satisfied before entering his class. He was leaving Triqi with swollen lips and staring at him fiercely.

"My name is Triqi Silva Georgio. You can call me Triqi."

The soft voice caused amazement from various students. Some even openly teased her. Making Triqi wince softly, hoping Valan didn't hear all this or his great jealousy would make Triqi suffer.

A student raised his hand. "Triqi, you're not from around here, aren't you? And, do you use contact lenses?" asked the student curiously. Triqi peeked at the student's name. Nathan. She would remember him.

"Yes. We just moved to this country. And my eyes, they are real. Err... Family lineage," whispered Triqi at the end. She was afraid they would think she was strange. Her eyes were different from most people's.

"Woah! Cool! I told you, right? Her eyes are real!" The enthusiastic voice made Triqi look up. Her face looked confused, seeing the enthusiastic expressions of her new friends.

They even fought to be able to sit next to Triqi. The teacher who taught was overwhelmed and decided to choose a student at random. Nathan got it. The blue-eyed man smiled so widely while shifting his bag when Triqi was about to sit. Triqi returned the warm smile. Secretly grateful that her parents had moved her to this place.

Elyna was right. Triqi would like to learn there, where she would be her new self without the shadow of the 'illegitimate child' that had haunted her for years.

***

Unlike Triqi's class which seemed warm, Valan's class was filled with more tense situations. The man only stared coldly at all his new friends with his lips pursed. Only after the third call, Valan reluctantly says his name.

"Valan Georgio Oakley," he said briefly. Without being told, he immediately took an empty seat. Near the window, regardless of whether the seat was occupied or not.

His handsome, icy face made several female students look at him with interest. However, with that aura of hostility, no one dared to start a conversation with him.

Even the seatmates who were close to him could only cough awkwardly. Trying to lighten the stiff atmosphere.

"Allan. What's your name?"

Valan did not return Allan's outstretched hand. The boy only glanced briefly, completely caring only about his twin, who looked busy with his new class.

"Triqi. You're not from around here, huh? And, do you use contact lenses?"

Valan's hands clenched in annoyance. He hated it when someone looked at his Triqi in such detail. His cold eyes looked even more like they were holding back anger, making Allan slowly pull his hand back.

The man decided to swallow his offer to lend Valan his notes when Valan's annoyed face didn't get any better. In his heart, Allan silently cursed. He cursed his fate of sitting with the unfriendly new kid.

After a while, Allan sighed softly. He finally decided to just focus on the lesson rather than taking care of the strange kid next to him.

Allan shifted his seat a little to get away from Valan. He did that so as not to be too affected by the bad aura coming from Valan.

Which was so powerful that it even made a teacher nervously swallow his desire to make Valan answer the question he asked.

***

Valan was waiting for the bell to ring. Coldly passing the girls who tried to get his attention, Valan immediately headed to Triqi's class. His face got worse when he saw Triqi chatting intimately with the people around her seat.

And what the heck was that?! Why did Triqi have to sit with that guy who pretended to smile all the time? Valan was jealous. Without any manners, he entered Triqi's class and stood in front of the class, hoping that Triqi's attention would immediately be diverted to him.

And unfortunately, Triqi only saw him when the girls in Triqi's class started whispering excitedly. His face became even more sour when Triqi gave him a bright smile. For whatever reason, Valan knew what she meant.

"It hasn't even been a day, and you've broken your promise," Valan accused him immediately when Triqi approached him. Triqi smiled awkwardly, trying to cheer up Valan's mood without looking weird there.

"I-"

"Let's have lunch. I'm hungry," Valan interrupted while grabbing Triqi's hand. Even at a time like that, Triqi still had time to glance at her friends, who were watching them questioningly. She then gave them a polite smile.

"Sorry. But it looks like I'm going to have lunch with him. See you later."

Triqi knew Valan would be even angrier if she tried to negotiate so she could eat with her new friend. Valan always liked silence. And that lunch was not ordinary.

Triqi just gave in when Valan pulled her into Valan's class. The boy returned only to take a lunch box and a large black bottle belonging to Triqi. Which, of course, contained blood.

They finally sat on the school's rooftop garden. Valan locked the door somehow. After that, he looked at Triqi with an accusing gaze.

"You're lying."

Tricia sighed. Again, she had to persuade Valan, who was very difficult to persuade once he was angry.

"I'm sorry. I'm just too happy to have a new friend. You know... in our school, no one wanted to be close to me."

"But can that be the reason you ignore me? Since when did I become number two in your mind, Triqi?"

Valan with all his bad thoughts.

Triqi kissed Valan's lips softly. There was no response like this morning. A sign that Valan was disappointed this time.

But Triqi didn't give up. She continued to crush Valan's lips slowly. Trying to tease him so he wouldn't get angry again.

Their lips parted when Triqi's face was made as cute as possible by him.

"Oh, come on. Has this handsome man turned to stone now? Do I have to kiss other people from now on for you to-umpht!"

Triqi was surprised when Valan suddenly kissed her roughly, fiercely, and without pause. Valan didn't release his link until Triqi slumped weakly in Valan's arms. Completely surrendering to the charm of those silver eyes.

"I have to keep kissing you so you can play freely under the sunlight. That's the condition, so don't blame me if our kissing frequency will be more now. Whenever I want to kiss you, you can't refuse. Do you understand?"

Valan stroked Triqi's sad face slowly. Rubbing her swollen lips when Triqi nodded slowly.

"Good girl. Now let's have lunch. I've been hungry since earlier," Valan said as he started to open the lunch box made by Elyna.

"Where are you going, hm?"

Valan asked again when Triqi was about to sit beside him as soon as she started drinking the fresh blood. Valan gave a signal by patting his thigh, making Triqi frown in disapproval.

"I will prevent you from eating," Triqi reasoned. She was just about to continue sitting when her body was pulled to sit on Valan's lap. The man kissed her hair softly, letting out a low growl.

"We've been together since birth, but you still don't know that I don't like rebuttal, Triqi. Don't make me eat something else right now," Valan warned lowly. Shuddering, Triqi obediently nodded. She leaned her head on Valan's broad chest as she began to sip her drink.

Letting it be when Valan occasionally kissed her face while eating.
