After their school started, every morning Eleo and Oriana will arrive at school almost at the same time. As usual, Eleo just ignored Oriana every time they met either at the school entrance or in class. Even though Eleo’s behavior did upset Oriana, she always tried to smile and greet him. Several days passed by and Eleo made some friends with some of the boys in his classmates. As for Oriana, she also got several friends and she eagerly wanted to be friends with one of the beautiful girls in her class. However, that girl who was more interested in Eleo than her. Her name was Estella.
Even though all their classmates were equally wealthy, Eleo stood out more compared to other boys in his class due to his foreign look. He was a Swedish who was born with light brown hair and blue eyes. His parents settled in New Zealand after their business started to develop and they became citizens of this country as well. Most teachers teaching his class adored him however Eleo didn’t bother with that attention and only focused on his studies. As the school started, there were several groups works given by the teachers. Eleo always avoided being in the same group with Oriana while Oriana was more thoughtful. As she didn't want to make Eleo uncomfortable, she always volunteered to be in separate groups. As for Estella who wanted to get Eleo's attention, she tried to stick to him as much as possible. Even though Eleo realized Estella's actions but he didn't do anything about it. He was kind of fond of her name as he loves to stargaze and she reminded him of his love for stargazing.
For the following years of their school lives, most of Eleo's classmates including Oriana and Estella stayed in the same class. Throughout this period of time, Eleo only talked to Oriana regarding homework and official issues. Oriana felt that Eleo had opened up a little, so she thought of talking to him casually once she had the opportunity to do so.
Throughout his school days, almost every day Eleo would bring lunch packed by his caretaker. He had his lunch together with his friends and sometimes Estella and her friends joined them. A few times, Estella offered to share her food but was refused by Eleo as he only preferred home-cooked meals. Whereas, Oriana always ate her lunch at the cafeteria and sometimes brought food from home. Oriana will always glance at what Eleo has for lunch as she passes by the table he commonly eats his lunch. Oriana's peeking on Eleo was noticed by Estella and she felt annoyed as she thought she was the first one to approach Eleo. So for every lunch break, she sat beside Eleo and tried to distract him from noticing Oriana's actions. Since Estella didn't know about Eleo's interests, most of their conversations were about homework and study subjects. Whenever their conversations bored Eleo, he would leave the table after finishing his lunch. Thus, Estella tried to figure out what Eleo's interests were to make him talk to her more casually.
However, there was one day he forgot to bring his prepared lunch box to school. He only realized it during the lunch break and the queue to buy food was too long. He just sat alone at a table and coincidentally Oriana who just bought a bowl of hot noodles passed by him. She saw Eleo sitting without eating and she went to sit beside him. She noticed that he didn't have his lunch box with him, so she offered her food to him. Eleo who was frustrated at that moment ignored Oriana's offer and stood up to go to class. Quickly, Oriana held Eleo's hand and told him to eat that food. Out of anger, he shook off her hand and his hand accidentally pushed that hot bowl on Oriana's lap.
At that moment, Estella came and was shocked to see Oriana's condition. She told Oriana to clean herself at the toilet and asked one of the students to inform the cleaner to clean that mess. She pulled Eleo and walked towards the class as break time was almost over. Eleo felt guilty but unable to apologize as Estella rushed him to the class. Oriana's thighs had some minor redness and she decided to change her uniform. So, with her class teacher's permission, she called her caretaker to bring a new set of uniforms to her school. After waiting for a few minutes, a car arrived at the school parking and it turned out Oriana's mother had brought her the uniform instead of the caretaker.
