The first thing after coming back is, of course, to happily hug the golden thigh (suck up to the powerful)~

At lunch in the cafeteria, I sat directly opposite Lucas.
The boy raised his dark eyes and met my gaze.
"Something?"
I took out my phone, opened the school forum, and found a post.
Pushed it in front of Lucas.
"School belle Vivian blocks the road to confess to academic god Lucas Reed. Samantha Jones suspected of being broken-hearted, crying half to death on the lawn next to them."
