The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: That can’t be right Chapter 265: That can’t be right Back to where we were…

“Alice, what are you doing?” Leo asked and Alice’s eyes suddenly glazed.

“Tut, how are you here already?” She asked and looked way past him to where he had been standing with the girls.

They were all taking turns shooting their arrows so maybe that was how he was able to slip out.

Then, should she just be a witch and announce that he was there?

Mr Popular would certainly love that, right?

*Discard that evil thought.* Leo’s forehead creased and she smirked.

‘Hm?

What’s wrong?

I thought you loved the attention.’ She almost laughed but kept it simple so as not to freak Nicholas out.

“Ahem, what does it look like I’m doing?

I’m socializing, of course.” She answered, causing him to tilt his head in confusion.

“That’s…

new.” He said as he walked up the benches.

“I was sure the only place you would ever try to socialize is in your room and the ones you’ll be trying to know better are your blankets and pillows.” His eyes traveled to Nicholas for a brief moment before looking away.

“So, it’s hard to see you socializing with real humans.” He sat down and she growled at him.

“Wait, you do know what that word means, right?” His remark earned him an elbow attack, which he luckily deflected with his palms.

He smiled at her and patted her head.

“Try better next time.” He said but she slapped his hand off.

“Fuck off.” Nicholas grew cautious just from being in the same space with Leo, but he tried not to let his discomfort be known to Alice.

Leo let out a sigh of exhaustion.

Those girls had drained him.

Who knew getting attention like that was so tiring?

This time, he didn’t even need to do anything, but they were already flocking around him like pigeons ready to be fed.

Alice had it easy in the sense that there weren’t guys trying to get her attention by gathering around her.

Most of them were probably too scared to get close to her because of how powerful she was, while others wanted to keep their pride.

Whatever it was, it gave Alice peace of mind.

Well, at least that was what they both wanted.

He looked at Nicholas who suddenly flinched before trying to hide his face behind his hair while looking away.

“Hm?” “Pft, your presence is scaring the poor boy.” Alice remarked and chuckled.

“That can’t be right.” Leo said.

“Have you been speaking ill of me?” He folded his arms, suspiciously staring at her but she rolled her eyes.

“I wish.

Rather, I saw something that made my heart thump in warmth.” She admitted, shocking him.

When did Alice learn to use words like that?

“Nicholas, would you mind if I show Leo your drawing?” “B-but…

Wouldn’t he get…

Mad?” Nicholas stuttered, and Alice drew closer to him, reaching her hand to touch his head if he was okay, but he subconsciously evaded her hand.

Realizing it, his eyes widened.

“I…

I’m sorry.” He apologized.

“I didn’t mean that, I just…

Don’t want him to get mad that you’re associating yourself with someone l…like me.” Alice was a bit lost and then she turned to Leo, asking, “Did you put up a flyer by chance that indicated such?” She plainly asked and he clicked his tongue.

“What do you take me for?” He asked and she shrugged.

He turned to Nicholas who was practically shivering in fear.

“Um, I don’t know if you’re getting the wrong idea about something or if you’re mistaking me for someone you know but I have no reason to get mad at you.” “B-but, I’m with Alice.

And she…

She’s…” “She’s what?” Leo asked.

“I’m what?” Alice also asked.

Nicholas looked at them.

Their expressions of curiosity and simplicity were very similar, and because they looked so good, there could never be a better pair.

“She’s your girlfriend.

So you’d get jealous that I…

Anyway, I’m sorry.” Alice and Leo were stunned for almost a minute.

Even when the whistles blew from the distance and people chattered away, they did not move.

It was almost as if they were frozen.

But it was just that the words they had just heard, coming straight from Nicholas’s mouth stunned them.

“Um, are you…

Are you okay?” Nicholas called out, feeling worried all of a sudden.

“Are you…?” “Pft,” Alice’s cheeks fattened up as she tried hard to hold her laughter, but it eventually burst out of her lips, and she laughed hard.

Even Leo could not escape the laughing powder that had suddenly been sprinkled on him from Alice’s intoxicating laugh.

They both laughed, leaving Nicholas dumbfounded and a bit uneasy.

But with the way they laughed, that uneasiness slowly faded and his lips curled up.

“Haha,” he laughed and Alice stopped laughing.

She watched him.

“That ought to ease you up.” She exclaimed and he looked up at them, confused.

What was going on?

“Why did you two laugh?” He asked, cleaning the tears on his eyelids, and hiding the flush of embarrassment on his face.

“What do you think?” Alice asked him.

“Why did ‘you’ laugh?” “B-because,” he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

“You two were so funny when you laughed.” “That’s it.” She said, “The reason we laughed is because you were very funny with your words, Nicholas.

Very very funny.” “But…

What part of my words were funny.

You two are dating are you not?” Once again, they burst out laughing.

“Wow, he said it again.” Alice kicked her feet and then fell back on Leo’s body.

He held her shoulder while laughing softly.

He had laughed so hard that his face was starting to ache.

To think he’d get to laugh so hard after hearing the assumptions he heard as whispers on a daily basis said to their faces.

“Nicholas, that is absurd.” Alice answered while Leo used a handkerchief to clean the tears from her eyelids that appeared as a result of laughing too hard.

“I’ve heard it a while back from people who won’t stop whispering but hearing it to my face is just …

Damn hilarious.” “No more laughing.” Leo said to her, squeezing her cheeks.

“Your face will start to cramp.” “I got it, I got it.” She chuckled and sat straight.

“So, Nicholas, what made you come to that conclusion?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Well, it’s pretty obvious why they would, don’t you think?

Also, if you see Noah instead of Nicholas, let me know
