Dumbstruck and confused – is what Lu felt. Not only did the kiss he got stun him but also the way Kacela just ran. His face felt hot as did his body. He must have been red from tip to toe, not to mention paralyzed by what just happened. This felt like minutes but in reality it was only seconds. Lucius jumped into the water next to her, he didn’t know why, but he felt if he didn’t he’d hate himself forever.

Once on the shore he took on his clothes, good thing what he wore was waterproof, plus he felt it’d dry quickly if he ran. Once in the forest he changed, becoming serious and attentive. His training allowed him to spot small things like tracks so he roughly knew where she ran. Even if he started half a minute late. This time his speed was roughly on par with what she showed before, as he was serious and not distracted.

He was on her track but stopped where she changed, as it was close to campus. He looked around and making sure he wasn’t missing something then followed where she went into campus, walking fast looking for where she could be. Attentively slipping in=between people, still tracking her. He didn’t care if someone saw his serious face, which, he was told was quite scary, with his smile gone and how moved he really did seem like a different person.
