The air around the room was tense. It felt suffocating. Almost as if I was stuck inside of a cramped room with no room to breathe.
The reason for such atmosphere?
Quietly sitting on my chair, a stunningly beautiful young girl with glossy black hair and porcelain white skin devoid of any imperfections, was curiously looking around my room.
Amanda stern.
Someone who I had never thought of interacting with privately.
Seeing her sit on my seat as if it was the most natural thing to do, my eyebrows twitched.
Just what did I do to deserve this?
...no, I knew why, I just wanted to deny reality.
Sighing, I spoke up to try to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Would you like green tea or water?"
Hearing my voice, Amanda's eyes paused on my face for a couple of seconds and after a short pause she said
"...green tea"
"Alright"
Heading to where my teapot was stashed, I took it out and poured steaming hot water into the pot.
After a couple of seconds, I took a bag filled with tea leaves and gently threw them into the pot.
While waiting for the tea to be ready, I turned around and noticed Amanda's obsidian black eyes staring at me.
Taken aback by her odd behavior, I asked
"...Need something?"
Hearing my voice and seeing that I had caught her red-handed, Amanda looked to the side and acted as if nothing happened as she lightly murmured.
"...Nothing"
Smiling, I looked back at the teapot.
What do you mean nothing? You were obviously staring at me!
Even a blind person could tell you were looking at me.
Pinching my brows, I decided to think about this in a positive way.
From the looks of things, it at least seemed that she had no hard feelings against me. Since I knew her personality well, I knew that if she were to have had a grudge against me, she would've avoided me at all costs.
Treating me as if I was nonexistent.
Seeing how she had actively come looking for me, I knew that she didn't hold what happened against me.
...so what did she come here for?
There was definitely a reason for her visit. I sort of had a hunch on what it was, but I wasn't too sure.
Most likely, she came to express her gratitude for saving her.
If so, I better get this over with fast. If someone found out 'the Amanda Stern' who was the talk of the academy was having a private meeting with a boy in his own room, I wouldn't even know how I died.
The fact that she was in my room meant that my life was in danger.
Sigh.
Just when I thought things weren't going to become more troublesome suddenly a new troublesome situation arose.
Looking at the water in the teapot that had started turning murky brown, I carefully removed the teapot from the heater and poured the tea into two porcelain teacups.
Walking back to where Amanda was seated, I handed the steaming hot teacup to her and sat in front of her.
"Thank you"
Taking the teacup with both hands, Amanda gently blew on the cup and took a sip.
Closing her eyes and savoring the taste of the tea, Amanda nodded slightly said
"...it's good"
"Now I don't owe you anything..."
