Third POV
Calista take the handcrief and start to embroidery it with the Imperial family crest. She practice a lot and today is the time she make the real deal along with her friends company.
"What? Really?" she asked to Aliza as she look at her.
"Yes. My! What a dissapointment!" she shakes her head as Calista laughed.
3 years has passed since Calista attend Eclat Academy and they are currently 17 years old. The four of them are on their last grade and going to graduate soon. They've become good friends with each other.
Calista had wrote many letters for Axel as well, but he rarely replied. She's sure that he too was focused on his training. As Calista focused on her embroidery to make her handcrief as gift for Axel when he returns.
"It's not a dissapointment." Calista laughed.
"Well, I just knew that you and Vincent met before the Academy starts! I mean.. He could said that like... three years ago." she crossed her arms and frowned.
In the past when Calista and Vincent were little, Calista's father bought her to the Ward Household for business purposes. And the two of them happened to met there. Since Calista knew the Calista novel's memories.
"I'm sorry if it's my fault." Vincent frowned.
"You never told me that Calista came to our household!" Aliza said angrily and pout.
"Wow! Sorry, sorry!"
"But...where's Xander?" Calista asked while looking around the room. "Ouch." she said in pain as the needle poked her finger.
"Are you alright!?"
-
Meanwhile in the school backyard, Xander keeps to punch a student again and again. And many times as he likes.
"S-sto-!" before the student could finish his lines, Xander punch him again.
"You know..." Xander sigh as he look at the clear blue sky. "I'm so relieved now. But punching you is not the right price for what you said." Xander smiled at the student he punched.
"I-I'm sorr-" before the student could finish his lines, he punch him again.
"This is what you get for looking at Calista on such a dirty way." Xander pull his collar. "Pathetic." he snorted, there's a hint of annoyance in Xander's eyes. "Did you think I didn't hear what you said...?" he asked playfully. "Maan... that's a big mistake." Xander sighed dramatically. "Where did you learn your manner I wonder...?" Xander stood up and look at the male student.
"I-I'm sorry...!"
"But... I'm glad it's just me." Xander look at him and smiled. "I wonder what would happen if Axel hear your words."
-
Calista negative thoughts keeps popping out on her mind. Now that she reached the age of death, she's nerveous that Axel would forget the friendship they formed and will try to kill her. But Calista didn't do anything wrong, but still, she's a bit worried.
"Yo."
A voice called her as she turned her head to find Xander.
"Where were you? You missed lunch." she crossed her arms.
"Sorry." he apologised playfully.
Calista notice that his knuckles are bleeding. "What the heck?" she asked while grabbing his hand.
"What?" he asked playfully as she sigh.
"Xander, a year ago you was suspended for three weeks for making a student fall from the second floor. What have you done this time?" she asked raising a brow as this situation is not the first time she face.
"It's just from the second floor." he shrugged.
"Yeah... Just from the second floor." Calista rolled her eyes. "We are going to graduate soon. I don't want anything to get in your way of graduating." she sighed worriedly as Xander patted her head.
"No need to make a fuss about it. I'll graduate with you." he smiled.
"Whatever you say." Calista sighed at his familiar behaviour.
"How about a match?" Xander asked raising his brow.
Calista titled her head at him. "You sure? Last time I'm the one who won." she said confidently.
"I let you." he smirked.
"Geeez, Then let's go!"
Their little match is horse riding. Xander always ask her this if she felt worried or down. He always do that to make her feel better and make her win on purpose. They went to the area after changing and starts to check on their horse.
"I'll win this one!" Calista said confidently as Xander get on his horse.
"Don't come crying to Vincent later." he teased as Calista's face redden, embarrassed.
"I won't!" she said confidently and hop on her horse.
-
Vincent sigh as he look at Calista eating all the sweets non-stop, frustrated.
"Calista, You don't have to feel that bad for losing the match." he tried to reassure her.
"But Xander teased me a lot! I have to train harder!" she said with a dissapointment expression.
Vincent look at the book beside her. "What are you reading?" he asked.
"I'm trying to help my underclassmen. They asked me to solve this question." she said still focused on the sweets.
"What is the problem?" Vincent asked while sitting beside her.
Calista swallow her sweets and take the book. "If one politician experiences financial problems with his business, what can we do to solve this?" she read to the question to him.
"It's quite a simple question. We can make him stop his current business and think of other businesses that can be useful, right? Or we can immediately follow the trend and create new things." Vincent explained.
"More precisely, we can propose that he can make his business follow the trend." she said with a serious face.
"What do you mean?"
"If he stop the current business, it will be detrimental. As for clothing, jewelry, food, or anything else, he can make it more into current trends. For example food, if the food does not sell, then make a new recipe that can attract customers. Same thing with clothes." she smiled.
"She's right..." Vincent thought.
"But, what you have said is useful as well. He can create new business and abandoned his current one."
"Haha.. I know that you're smart. But I'm always amazed by it." Vincent said with a wide smile.
"Well, you're smart as well!" she compliment him back.
"Thank you for that."
"Anyways, it's a simple question. Why did she have to ask me all the way here?" she sighed.
"First year right?" he asked.
"Yes. She seemed puzzled by this. She really need to read more."
"Can't believe that comes from the mouth of a person who dislikes to read." He teased.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. We're going to graduate like.. two weeks from this day. So I'll do anything I can to help her."
