When A Ghoul Falls In Love - Volume 1 Chapter 158

“Rivals?” Maisie smirks. “I own ninety percent of her heart.”

Abigail pulls a face. “What about Oliver?”

“Nell is Nell.” Maisie says to her, “Oliver is Oliver.”

“Tsk! Tsk!” Nick shakes his head. “I feel bad for that boy.”

“No need,” Oliver utters as he steps into the clubroom. “Where is Joon Woo?”

“He is with Nell,” Maisie replies to him. “Did you find anything about Killian?”

“His records are gone.” Oliver divulges solemnly, “I sneaked into the teachers’ lounge. There is nothing about Killian as if he has never been here.”

“How is that possible?” Samantha frowns hard. “The teacher introduced him to the class.”

“Is he a ghost or something?” Nick questions. “People don’t just disappear.”

“You know what?” Maisie crosses her arms indignantly. “We have to interrogate Evie.”

“You just want an excuse to torment her.” Oliver gives her a look. ��I don’t think that she knows him personally. He hasn’t appeared in the school since that day.”

Maisie clicks her tongue. “I just hate her.”

“I know.” Oliver takes a seat beside her. “It doesn’t mean that we just harm someone who has little involvement in this matter. We found out about Nell, thanks to her.”

Maisie makes a face. “Why are you praising her? Do you like her now?”

“Oh my god!” Nick complains, “Girls are so complicated. They claim that they don’t like someone, but they will get jealous when the guy praises someone else without any meaning.”

“Ask Millie if she will get jealous or not.” Maisie eyes Nick scornfully. “And why are all the guys talking about Evie now? Baek Joon Woo dated her. Now, Oliver and you are also taking her side.”

“We aren’t taking her side.” Nick replies, exasperated by her response, “Maisie, why are you sick in the head? Is your menopause arriving early or is it that you are having periods? Stop making stupid assumptions. My heart only beats for Millie and Oliver loves you.”

Maisie purses her lips, folding her fingers into fists. She glares at Oliver suspiciously.

“I am sorry,” Oliver states nonchalantly. “I just realized that I shouldn’t praise another girl except for our future daughter.”

She opens her mouth wide, speechless by his casual remark while Samantha bursts into laughter. Abigail rolls her eyes. Nick shakes his head and giggles. Millie sighs as she scrolls through the news on her phone.

“You are pretty sure that I will marry you,” Maisie tells him curtly. “We aren’t even dating.”

“And the sun isn’t hot.” Nick retorts, “Of course, you and Oliver aren’t dating. He is taming you slowly. You can’t even tell. It’s pretty good for someone who is younger than all of us.”

“Taming?” Maisie stands up abruptly. “I am the one who is taming him.”

“You are right.” Oliver takes her hand and pats it soothingly. “I am being tamed by you.”

Her anger subsides instantly. She huffs and sits down. “As long as you understand where you stand.”

“There’s a name for a personality like yours.” Millie speaks slowly, “It’s called tsundere.”

“Ah!” Nick claps his hands. “That’s the word. Maisie is a tsundere. Tsundere rarely admits that they are in love, but they are highly protective of the guy they love.”

“We have personality names now?” Abigail leans closer to Millie, taking a look at her phone. “What’s kuudere?”

“I am supposed to be kuudere.” Millie mutters, “Basically, it’s another name for an introvert.”

“I didn’t know that you have interests in childish things like these.” Maisie crosses her arms. “I am not a tsundere.”

“She’s Maisie, only Maisie.” Oliver leans toward her, placing his head on her shoulder. “She shows love when she is training me in bed.”

“Oliver!” Maisie pushes him away. “Why are you being like this today?”

“All men show their true colours someday.” Samantha smirks, “Today is Oliver’s day.”

Oliver shrugs. “Don’t say it like that.”

“I don’t have any true colours.” Nick cups his face, trying to look cute. “I am the most innocent person in this room.”

“The bottom of the kettle is always black,” Millie mutters, not looking at Nick.

“All of you are bad!” Maisie scowls. “You can’t tease me because Nell isn’t here.”

“What a lie!” Abigail’s eyes shine. “But you are blushing after seeing your boy’s true colours.”

“I am not blushing.” Maisie places her hand over her mouth. “You are blushing.”

Oliver gazes at her and smiles.

“Great Maisie can blush too.” Samantha laughs. “I just can’t believe this. This is the first time I am seeing her blush. I also want someone who can make me blush.”

“Alas! We aren’t allowed to date until we can get into the top university of the world.” Abigail raises her chin and sighs hopelessly. “I have to get into the top university in the world because I want to touch abs.”

“There’s ab in your name, Abigail.” Nick grins at her. “You will definitely get into the university of your choice and meet an awesome guy with abs.”

“What about me?” Samantha pats her chest. “I also want abs.”

“You aren’t as smart as her.” Millie says to her, “but you will probably find someone since you are pretty.”

“That’s not exactly a compliment.” Samantha stomps her foot on the ground. “Millie, you should say nice things to me. We are friends.”

“I am your good friend.” Millie replies, “I will always say the truth that you need to hear.”

Samantha pouts. “You broke my heart.”

“I like her because of that.” Nick gives a flying kiss to Millie. “She is such a literal heart breaker.”

Millie glances at him, unimpressed by his comment.

“And smart.” Nick adds, “She is super smart.”

When she gives him a small approving smile, he lets out a breath of relief.

“Well, the school will be over soon.” Maisie stretches her arms. “I can’t wait to visit Nell.”

“Did she talk to you last night?” Nick asks her.

“She…” Maisie sighs. “She is still in shock. Her parents tried to talk to her, but she refused to talk to them. They aren’t allowing her to leave the house. I don’t know why though. Baek Joon Woo isn’t saying anything either. Doesn’t it feel wrong? I heard her parents discussing moving away from this place. It seems that she knows it, but Nell and Baek Joon Woo didn’t react to the news.”

“They are going to take her away?” Nick scratches his head. “Why?”

“How would I know?” Maisie knits her brows. “It’s less than a year before we will graduate. Why would they think about moving now? And her mother knows that Nell likes Baek Joon Woo.”

“It feels like they are hiding something.” Millie creases her forehead. “Killian’s disappearance is strange. He spoke in a strange manner too.”

“Yeah, he was strange.” Abigail nods her head. “He also looked strange.”

“He walked in a strange manner too.” Samantha adds, “Did you notice his shoes?”

Nick stares at Samantha. “What about shoes?”

“Muddy.” Samantha tells him, “and his clothes didn’t fit him. He looked in a strange way too.”

“It was like he was from another planet.” Abigail gasps. “What if he is from another planet?”

“An alien?” Nick squints his eyes in disbelief. “Are you crazy, ab lover?”

“It makes sense, actually.” Maisie crosses her arms. “He might not be from our world. How can you explain his disappearance? Only we remember him. Other students don’t remember him either. That’s just… crazy.”

“Show me his pictures.” Samantha goes to Maisie. “The one Evie took… do you have them?”

Maisie shakes her head. “Baek Joon Woo didn’t send them to me.”

“Evie also posted them on the school forum,” Nick says. “They might be there.”

“I think someone took them down.” Millie continues to scroll her phone screen. “There is not a single picture on the forum. We need to find Evie then.”

“If he is an alien, he should disappear from the photos.” Samantha utters in excitement. “Maybe the camera took his real face.”

“If his real face was taken by camera, Baek Joon Woo or Evie would have noticed.” Abigail tsks. “Why are you stupid? We are twins.”

“Don’t look down on my intelligence.” Samantha grimaces at her. “Millie says that I am prettier than you are.”

“We are identical twins.” Abigail inhales sharply. “Maybe I got all the brains, and she got all the dumbness.”

“Abigail!” Samantha balls her fists. “I am going to get into a better university than you.”

“We will see about that.” Abigail smirks. “I will definitely not choose an university where you will be going.”

“I hate her!” Samantha points at Abigail. “I hate you to death.”

And they have started fighting again. Nick covers his ears as he stands up, laughing.
