1.75 meters tall and had single eyelids. He was wearing thick glasses with a black frame, a dark red plaid coat, and a pair of dark blue canvas shoes with white soles

On his wrist was a bracelet made of south red agates. It was a gift from Erica on his 18th birthday. He had been wearing it since then.

Hyatt timidly smiled while he said, "I just transferred to this school.

Actually, I'm also in the Department of Photography like you."

Erica was taken aback for a few moments. She blinked her eyes a few times, refusing to believe what she just heard. However, what she knew for sure was that it was not good news to see him in her school.

Placing a small smile on her face, Erica composed herself.

"Dude, I married someone from this city so I didn't have a choice but to continue my studies here. But you, didn't you have a great life in

Askor? Why did you insist on coming to Alorith? Does your mother know about this?"

"She knows," Hyatt plainly responded.

“Did she approve of it?" she wondered. There was no way his mother would agree to something like this.

Hyatt shook his head in embarrassment.

“No, I transferred by myself."

‘I knew it!' Erica exclaimed in her mind. She then flicked his forehead.

“I didn't expect that you would have the guts to do that. I couldn't transfer to another school by myself. How did you do it?"

Hyatt rubbed his head where she had playfully flicked him. With uttermost honesty, he said, "My uncle is a professor of this school so

I asked him for help."

“Well, that's just great! I guess your mother will not only hate me but she'll also beat me to death the next time she sees me! There's no doubt about it!" Erica helplessly rolled her eyes at him.

Back in Askor, Hyatt had ignored his mother, aka Erica's headteacher in junior high, just so he could be admitted to the Department of

Photography with Erica. His mother had been so angry that she had wanted to disown him.

Now, he had actually followed her to Alorith. Erica could assume that

Hyatt was having a hard time before he came here. Why else would he go through all the trouble of moving to another place?

Hyatt didn't Like Erica's reaction so he complained softly, “Since you left, Reese and her companions had been bullying me every single day

Not once did anyone help me. Finally, I had enough. I didn’t want to be alone there. I was so scared."

Erica and Hyatt had known each other since they were in middle school.

For the longest time, they had been the best of friends. They were so close that Erica would always beat him up.
