If you're wondering, I deleted chapter four and rewrote it. This is so much better, right? What do you guys think?

The cat purred as it stretched it's body and rubbed it against the wall. Just like it did very morning, before being chased off by the nosy dog on the leash. The dog would never leave the latter alone, and that's what annoyed the cat out of it's wits. But it had to deal with it for every single day of it's life, its a rule of the world. The stronger ones have a tendency to reign over the weaklings.

The birds sat at their nest. Not chirping like they were accustomed to, they were awaiting another guest, a little one. The cat and dog noticed that, only once in their entire time spent together, did they not pass negative vibes. Any passer-by could simply mistake them for animals with no personal feud. They didn't fight, didn't scratch, didn't bite. Only observed quietly. Both having different thoughts- far different thoughts. the tint of predatory desire in the cat's eye did not go unnoticed by the dog as he barked, chasing it off.

"Today was exhausting, right?" she asked the boy sitting next to her on the bench

"Yeah.. " he muttered, staring off into space

He heard her sigh, her face held an unreadable expression. In his peripheral vision, he saw her get up. His eyes followed her in confusion, she was very quiet that day

He scoffed a little, when he saw where she had gone to. A tiny smile replaced his frown

The girl turned around with a cup and a cone in her hands, smiling sheepishly. She carefully walked back to him

"Cup or Cone?" she gestured for him to choose

"For me?" he pointed to his chest, eyes widened dramatically

"Yeah dumbo, now choose" she grinned

He reached his arm out hesitantly, mentally choosing

"Gary was faster than you once upon a time, true story" she muttered gesturing for him to take the cone "Just take the cone, I always get messy that's why I'll take the cup" she smiled

The boy slowly took the ice cream and looked down, trying to hide his tiny smile but failing miserably. He was astonished by the small gesture of kindness, it felt like a book setting to him

Strawberry, a sweet coincidence, she had got him his favorite flavor
"Thank you" he said genuinely

Falaq smiled again, an unfamiliar feeling felt in her stomach. It lifted her spirits high "What you say? I can't hear you" she shrugged her shoulders and sang out

"I said I like chocolate better, idiot"

"Dear You"

"This is so confusing" the light brown haired girl huffed as she fell back into her seat.

"What is?" Iseul's friend, Areum, asked as she leaned over to her friend

"Ah.. It's nothing really. It's just that I can't get myself sorted out, you know? I feel so unorganized" she sighed gesturing towards all the sticky notes neatly pasted on Areum's desk.

The girl chuckled immediately, snickering as her eyes became tiny, resembling a Crescent. Iseul simply watched in awe. Areum's name meant: 'beautiful'

And yes, she was beautiful in and out. Whenever she'd laugh, her hair bounced lightly. Her eyes crinkled up and a small dimple appeared on her right cheek. She had a tendency to hide herself behind glasses and books as she hated attention.
