Noelle raised an eyebrow and explained, "This is my soos she moved in here without my permission. I have every right to do what I want.

"There's a good reason to that! And so what it Nenia stayed in your room for just a few days? It's not like you'll get hurt or anything"

Noelle replied. "Then who didn't you let Xenia stay on the team, Lucas? Is it because she sucks at the game? Afraid that she'll drag you down? oh, how can you be so perry, Lucas? Don't you know that Kenia's grades dropped because she worked hard to train for the competicion? How could you just place her into the role of a mere substitute?

Lucas replied, "No problem. Take your time. If you have any other requirements, just let me know, and we can discuss them.

Noelle could not help but laugh as she read Lucas' oddly polite tone

In has previous life, Lucas had never treated her with such a respectiful attitude, even though she had been training tirelessly and competing for his team. She felt that people like him were truly the scum of the earth.

The following day, Noelle slept soundly until she woke up naturally. When she headed downstairs for lunch, Frank had just returned home.

Lucas immediately can over to Frank and complained, "Listen, Frank Noelle's being completely out of line!!

Lucas was shocked by her sadden outburst. He questioned. "Ilave von last your mind, Noelle?" She had never once arted so erratically, going so far as to burn Xenia's belongings with a lighter. It was unlike Noelle at all.

Noelle kicked a nearby chair and impatiently replied, "You're all too noi! If you don't want to sit and eat, don't bother
