There was no time to rest. The third scene will take place tomorrow. She remembered from the novel that the female lead was almost sexually assaulted, but Lucian arrived in time to save her from the offender. It was the plan of another jealous girl who knocked the female lead unconscious and placed her into an empty classroom. She wanted to film the process so that it would taint her reputation.
As the bell rang, announcing the beginning of another class, the students rushed to the outside courtyard for the physical education class. Seeing that the class was empty, Selena quickly exited the classroom and waited for the scene to happen.
After ten minutes, a girl finally appeared in front of the classroom door. She looked left and right, making sure that there was no witness and dragged Grace into the classroom. After the girl left, Selena wanted to go inside the classroom to get Grace out of there, but soon, a boy was approaching the door suspiciously. Before the boy touched the door knob, Selena quickly knocked him unconscious and dragged him to the nearest bathroom.
As she exited the washroom, she noticed Lucian walking wobbly into the classroom. His face was flushed red. Why is this scene happening so fast? She ran towards the classroom and pushed the door open. Something wasn't right.
Lucian was leaning dangerously close to the unconscious female lead, like he was going to kiss her. Feeling hot, he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his uniform. The only thing he could see with his blurry vision was the girl lying on the desk. He leaned closer to the girl, wanting to get rid of the heat.
What was going on? Wasn't the male lead supposed to save Grace? Why did it seem like he wasn't in the right state of mind? Selena jumped to stop Lucian from leaning in closer to her dear sister. But before she could reach him, drops of blood tainted the floor.
Lucian had bitten his arm to calm himself down. The pain helped him to regain a clearer mind. Astonished by Lucian's behaviour, Selena quickly held on to his injured arm and asked, "Are you alright?"
Locking into his red, blurry eyes, Selena guessed that he was drugged. Beads of sweat were dropping down from his forehead. She could feel his heavy breath on her neck. Even as he was breathing painfully, he was still devilishly handsome with his flushed face. That didn't even happen in the novel. What was going on? Lucian leaned closer to her, supporting himself so as not to fall. His legs were mushy, and he constantly loosened his tie and clothes. It was so hot in the classroom.
"Why are you here?" Lucian murmured painfully.
"I'll accompany you to the infirmary."
Lucian snickered and said, "Are you sure you are not leading me somewhere else?"
"What the hell? Are you suspecting that I drugged you?"
Well, his suspicions were reasonable. It must have been too much of a coincidence for her to be in the classroom.
"Well, you have no other choice but to come with me," Selena added.
As they exited the classroom, Lucian asked with a weak voice, "What about Grace?"
"Don't worry about her. Her friend will come to get her soon," she assured him.
Before gym class started, she texted Yuki to skip the class and be on standby near the classroom. Selena thought that she would be able to complete the scene alone, but she underestimated the difficulty of the scene. If she didn't use her time wisely, something unimaginable would have happened.
On the way to the infirmary, she texted Yuki to bring the unconscious Grace into the infirmary too. After explaining what had happened to Lucian to the nurse, she rushed back towards the classroom. Yuki was already taking Grace towards the infirmary. In the bright light, Selena sighed in relief after making sure her sister was alright. It was now time to catch the culprit.
As she expected, a girl was waiting outside the classroom with her phone in her hands. She was peering into the classroom, hoping to find a good angle to film.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Selena asked from behind.
Expecting to be alone, the girl jumped in fright, laughed nervously and said, "I forgot something in the classroom."
"Really? I don't remember having a classmate like you."
The girl avoided eye contact and replied, "You're right. I almost walked into the wrong classroom. If there isn't anything else, I'll be on my way."
The girl started to run, but a hand grabbed onto her collar.
"Why are you running? Did you do something bad?"
"Of course not. I have to return to my class."
Selena dragged her by the collar and led her to the bathroom, where she hid the accomplice.
"What are you doing? This is the boy's bathroom," the girl screamed in horror.
"Isn't he familiar?"
Seeing Selena point towards her accomplice, the girl's face turned ghostly white. Her plan had failed, and it just had to be witnessed by the school's principal's niece. The girl quickly dropped to her knees and begged, "Please, Selena, don't report me to the principal!"
"Didn't I say that no one can mess with Grace except me?" Grace asked coldly.
'When did you say that?' the girl thought, but didn't dare to say anything.
"Please, I beg of you! I would never do it again."
"How dare you use such cheap tactics to ruin a girl's pureness? Aren't you a girl, too?" Selena lifted her chin, stepped on her fingers and smiled diabolically. "Maybe you should get a taste of your own medicine."
Tears streamed down the girl's face as she begged to be released. Her once beautiful hands were covered in dirt and bruises. Without talking further, Selena dragged both of them towards the principal's office. She wanted to beat the shit out of them but this kind of matter had to be resolved by the adults.
Standing in front of the dean's office, she knocked and entered after the voice inside told her to come in.
"Selena, what a surprise! It's been such a long time since you came to visit your uncle! I heard you performed well during the midterm, I'm proud of you!" the principal said, welcomingly.
After seeing the two students she was dragging, his face turned serious.
"What happened?" he asked. He was afraid that his niece would cause trouble.
She shook the boy to wake him up.
"He almost assaulted a classmate of mine, and she is the one who told him to do so. Luckily, I was there to stop their plan."
The principal frowned and signalled them to sit down. It seemed to be an unlikely case, but he trusted his niece. Scared, the girl splurted out everything and kept saying that she regretted what she did. As they didn't have any proof, and their plan wasn't carried out, they were given minor punishments.
She wanted them to be expelled for trying to hurt her sister, but as her uncle said, they didn't have any proof, except for her being a witness. Since the girl admitted to her crimes, she will apologize to Grace in front of the entire school, and her case will be set as an example as a consequence of bullying.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated; it was a phone call from Yuki.
"Hi, Yuki, is Grace alright?"
"Yes, but more important than that, you should come to the infirmary quickly. There's something wrong with Lucian!" Yuki said urgently.
