Chapter Beats: Elena, shopia and Aiden got to lugh's house with out telling any one before hand where they meet his sister and mother. Apparantly Elena, shopia and Aiden didn't visit lugh's house until now because it was not necessary. Although these four frends have visit eachother house minimum 1 time except lugh's house. They learnt from lugh's mother that lugh lives in a apartment near to his school for the past 4 years and come visit them ones a week. After some talking with lugh's mother and sister they got lugh's appartment address. When they knocked on the lugh's appartment he got out of his apartment with desilved hairs and black t shirt and pants. They meet him got in his appartment where they saw his appartment interior.
Previous chapter: The shrill beep of the alarm cut through the silence, piercing Lugh's sleep with relentless persistence. It rang again and again, each sound more grating than the last. 

Lugh's brow furrowed in annoyance as he stirred beneath the thin sheets. With a resigned sigh, he forced his heavy eyelids open.

Above him, the ceiling fan rotated lazily, its blades casting slow-moving shadows across the plain white ceiling. The soft hum blended with the distant sounds of the waking city outside.

Blinking a few times, Lugh's sharp gray eyes adjusted to the dim morning light seeping through the curtains. Still lying on his back, he turned his head to the right. His left hand fumbled across the cluttered bedside table, fingers brushing past a worn copy of The Stranger before finding his phone.

The screen lit up at his touch, revealing a lock screen adorned with an anime character standing in the rain, gazing at a beautiful red moon in the distance. The vivid colors starkly contrasted the monochromatic tones of his room.

**6:25 AM.**

He silenced the alarm with a quick tap, and quiet settled back into the room, except for the fan's steady rhythm. Lugh remained still for a moment, staring blankly at the ceiling. The weight of sleep still clung to his mind, a haze that would only dissipate through the motions of his morning routine.

With a deliberate exhale, he pushed the covers aside and sat up. The cool air brushed against his skin, a stark contrast to the warmth of the bed. Standing up, a slight dizziness washed over him—remnants of a dream already slipping from memory. Ignoring it, he turned to fix his bed.

He smoothed out the creases in the sheets, pulled the blankets taut, and fluffed the solitary pillow. Each movement was methodical, almost mechanical—a ritual requiring no conscious thought.

Once done, Lugh rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand and instinctively combed through his short, messy black hair, pushing stubborn strands away from his face. A few locks fell back over his forehead, partially obscuring his gaze, but he let them be.

Crossing the small bedroom, he plugged his phone into the charger on the desk. The device joined a lineup of neatly arranged items: a closed laptop, a notepad filled with cryptic annotations, and a sleek black pen. Above the desk, a bulletin board displayed a minimalist calendar and a world map dotted with red pins. No posters, no personal photographs—just functional decor.

Leaving the bedroom, Lugh headed toward the kitchen. The apartment was modest, its furnishings sparse yet sufficient. Wooden floors creaked softly under his feet, the sound echoing lightly in the quiet space. The walls were painted a muted gray, devoid of artwork or embellishments.

In the kitchen, yesterday's dishes awaited him in the stainless steel sink: plates with faint traces of pasta sauce, a glass with a water ring at the bottom, utensils neatly stacked. Without hesitation, Lugh rolled up the sleeves of his plain black t-shirt and turned on the tap. Warm water cascaded over his hands, steam rising and mingling with the faint scent of dish soap.

He washed each item with care, his movements efficient and precise. The act was soothing in its simplicity, allowing his mind to wander. The sound of water splashing against porcelain filled the room, accompanied by the distant rumble of traffic beginning to stir outside.

With the dishes cleaned and set on the drying rack, Lugh moved to the small bathroom adjacent to the kitchen. Flipping on the light, he was greeted by his reflection in the mirror above the sink. His eyes traced over his own features—the pallor of his skin under the fluorescent light, the slight shadows under his eyes.

He picked up his toothbrush and began brushing his teeth, the minty taste refreshing his senses. After rinsing his mouth and splashing cold water on his face, he felt more alert. He toweled off and returned to his bedroom to get dressed.

Opening the closet, a row of identical school uniforms hung neatly: white shirts starched to crispness, navy blazers, matching trousers. He selected a set and dressed quickly, buttoning the shirt and fastening the dark tie with practiced ease. Reaching for his analog watch on the desk, he slipped it onto his right wrist. The black leather strap was worn but sturdy, the simple clock face free of any unnecessary adornments—a functional piece, much like everything else he owned.

Finally, he grabbed his school bag—a black backpack with multiple compartments. Inside were textbooks, notebooks filled with meticulous notes, a pencil case, and a water bottle tucked into the side pocket. Satisfied, he slung it over his shoulder.

Before leaving, Lugh paused at the doorway, giving the room a final glance. Everything was in its place and silent. He switched off the lights and exited the apartment, locking the door with a quiet click.

The hallway was silent, the other apartment doors closed. Soft light filtered in through a window at the end of the corridor, casting long shadows on the worn carpet. Lugh descended the stairs, the stairwell illuminated by flickering overhead lights that buzzed faintly.

Stepping outside, he was greeted by the crisp morning air. The sky was painted with hues of pale blue and soft pink as the sun began its ascent. The city around him was slowly coming to life. Across the street, a café owner adjusted chairs on the sidewalk patio, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. A newspaper delivery person cycled past, the sound of tires on asphalt blending with the rustle of papers.

Lugh adjusted the strap of his backpack and started his walk to school. The sidewalk stretched ahead, lined with a mix of towering modern buildings and older brick structures. Trees planted intermittently along the path swayed gently in the morning breeze, their leaves whispering secrets he had no time to decipher.

As he walked, he observed his surroundings with quiet attentiveness. A stray cat darted across the street, disappearing into an alleyway. A digital billboard overhead changed images, displaying an advertisement for the latest smartphone promising unparalleled connectivity. Lugh glanced at it briefly, his expression unreadable.

Other students began to appear along the route, some in groups, others alone. Their voices filled the air—fragments of conversations about homework, weekend plans, trivial gossip. Lugh kept his distance, his pace steady. He didn't mind the solitude; in fact, he preferred it.

"Morning, Lugh!" a familiar, cheerful voice called from behind.

He turned slightly to see Aiden jogging up to him, his sandy-blonde hair catching the sunlight. Aiden wore the same school uniform, but his tie was loosened, and the top button of his shirt was undone, giving him a casual, carefree look. His navy blazer hung loosely over his shoulder, and a soccer ball peeked out from his backpack.

"Morning," Lugh replied, a subtle nod acknowledging his friend.

Aiden fell into step beside him. "You always beat me out the door. One of these days, I'll manage to catch you before you leave your place."

"You could try waking up earlier," Lugh suggested, a hint of teasing in his tone.

Aiden laughed, a sound that resonated with warmth. "But then I'd miss out on my beauty sleep, and we can't have that, can we?"

"You seem to manage well enough," Lugh remarked, glancing at Aiden's perfectly tousled hair.

They walked together in comfortable silence for a moment before Aiden spoke again. "Did you finish Mr. Thompson's assignment?"

"Yes. Last night."

"Figures," Aiden said, shaking his head with a grin. "Mind if I take a look at your notes during homeroom? I got stuck on the last problem."

"Sure," Lugh agreed. "But you should try to work through it yourself first."

"I did! Well, mostly," Aiden admitted sheepishly. "I just need a nudge in the right direction."

As they approached the school gates, a group of students milled about, exchanging greetings and laughter. The morning sun bathed the campus in a golden glow.

"Hey, look who's already here," Aiden said, nodding toward a familiar duo standing by the entrance.

Elena stood with her back against the stone pillar, her long chestnut hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore the school uniform with impeccable neatness, her tie perfectly knotted and blazer free of wrinkles. Beside her, Sophia adjusted the vibrant headband in her golden-blonde hair, the accessory complementing her lively green eyes.

"Lugh! Aiden!" Sophia waved enthusiastically. "Good morning!"

"Morning, Sophia. Elena," Lugh greeted.

Elena offered a warm smile. "Good morning. You're both early today."

Aiden chuckled. "Well, Lugh here likes to keep me on my toes. Can't let him get all the punctuality points."

"You could try setting an extra alarm," Elena suggested playfully.

"Don't give him too much credit," Sophia teased. "He probably just rolled out of bed and threw on whatever he found."

"Hey now," Aiden feigned offense. "I'll have you know, this look is carefully curated."

They all shared a light laugh, the ease of their camaraderie evident.

"Are we still on for studying during lunch?" Elena asked.

"Absolutely," Aiden confirmed. "I even brought snacks this time, so Sophia doesn't have to feed us all."

Sophia grinned. "Good, because I was starting to think you only kept me around for my culinary skills."

"Nonsense," Aiden said with a wink. "Your sparkling personality is a close second."

Elena rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Come on, we'd better get to homeroom before Mr. Thompson decides to give us extra assignments as punishment for being late."

They moved together through the bustling corridors, splitting off to retrieve items from their lockers. Lugh spun his combination lock smoothly, the metal door opening with a familiar creak. As he exchanged books, a folded piece of paper fluttered to the ground.

He picked it up, recognizing the neat handwriting. Unfolding it, he read:

_"Don't forget about the art exhibition next week. Hope you'll be there. —Elena"_

A small sketch of a cherry blossom adorned the corner of the note. Lugh glanced over to see Elena watching him discreetly from a few lockers down. She offered a shy smile before returning to her conversation with Sophia.

"You got one too?" Aiden asked, appearing beside Lugh and holding up an identical note.

"Seems she's determined to have us attend," Lugh remarked.

"Well, can't disappoint our dear friend, can we?" Aiden said, nudging Lugh's shoulder. "Besides, it'll be fun. Sophia's been talking about it nonstop."

"Then I suppose I'll go," Lugh acquiesced.

Aiden: "That's the spirit."

The first bell rang, prompting them to hurry to the classroom. Settling into their seats, they prepared for the day's lessons. Mr. Thompson began his lecture on classic literature, his voice a steady drone that filled the room.

During a lull in note-taking, Lugh felt a light tap on his shoulder. Turning slightly, he saw Sophia leaning over from the desk behind.

"Are you still up for helping me with the music club's fundraiser banners after school?" she whispered.

"I remember," Lugh replied softly. "I'll meet you in the art room."

Sophia: "Great! Elena will be there too."

Aiden overheard and turned around in his seat. "Am I invited to this little party, or is it a VIP affair?"

"Only if you're willing to wield a paintbrush," Sophia challenged.

He grinned. "I think I can manage that. Count me in."

"Shh," Mr. Thompson admonished from the front. "Unless you'd like to share your conversation with the class?"

"Sorry, sir," they mumbled in unison, exchanging amused glances.

As the lesson continued, Lugh allowed himself a rare moment of contentment. The familiarity of his friends' company was comforting in its own way, a subtle thread that connected them all.

When lunchtime arrived, the four of them reconvened under the large oak tree in the courtyard—a favorite spot that they'd claimed as their own over the past year. The sunlight is filtered through the leaves, casting a mosaic of light and shadow on the grass.

Sophia spread out a checkered blanket, and they all settled in. Aiden produced a variety of snacks from his bag.

"Behold, my contribution," he declared, presenting an assortment of chips and candies.

Elena arched an eyebrow. "So, nutritionally balanced."

"Hey, I never claimed to be a gourmet chef," Aiden defended. "Besides, who doesn't love a good sugar rush?"

"Thank goodness I brought sandwiches," Sophia said, unveiling neatly wrapped parcels. "Turkey and cheese, just the way you like them, Aiden."

He accepted one gratefully. "You're the best, Sophia."

She smiled brightly. "I know."

Lugh took a sandwich as well. "Thank you."

"Anytime," Sophia replied. "What are friends for?"

Elena poured iced tea into plastic cups. "So, are we ready for the math test tomorrow?"

Aiden groaned dramatically. "Don't remind me. Lugh, buddy, pal, care to share your infinite wisdom?"

Lugh took a sip of tea before responding. "We can go over the formulas after school, if you'd like."

"You're a lifesaver," Aiden declared. "I don't know what I'd do without you guys."

"Probably fail," Elena quipped, a twinkle in her eye.

They all laughed, the teasing born from familiarity and affection.

As they ate, their conversation meandered through various topics—upcoming club events, weekend plans, the latest episode of a popular TV show.

"By the way," Sophia began, "my parents are hosting a small get-together this Saturday evening. They said I could invite some friends. You all should come."

"Count me in," Aiden said immediately. "Your dad's jazz band is amazing."

"Elena?" Sophia prompted.

"Of course," Elena agreed. "It sounds lovely."

Sophia turned to Lugh expectantly.

"I'll check my schedule," he said.

"Translation: he needs convincing," Aiden interpreted.

Sophia clasped her hands in a pleading gesture. "Please, Lugh? It won't be the same without you."

He considered their earnest expressions. "Alright."

"Yes!" Sophia cheered softly.

"Do you ever get the feeling we're wearing him down?" Aiden joked.

"Persistence pays off," Elena said with a knowing smile.

Lugh shook his head slightly but didn't disagree.

After lunch, they headed back inside. As they walked down the corridor, Aiden started humming a tune.

"What's that?" Elena asked.

"It's a new song I've been obsessed with," he said. "I'm thinking of learning it on the guitar."

"Maybe you could perform it at the music club fundraiser," Sophia suggested.

Aiden shrugged modestly. "I don't know if I'm that good."

"Don't be humble," Lugh said. "You have talent."

Aiden looked pleasantly surprised. "Well, coming from you, that's high praise. Alright, maybe I will."

The afternoon classes passed briskly. When the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, the four friends gathered their belongings.

"Art room time?" Sophia prompted, adjusting her vibrant hair clip.

"Lead the way," Aiden said, tossing his backpack over one shoulder.

They made their way to the art room, the familiar scent of paints and paper welcoming them. Canvases and supplies were scattered about, evidence of ongoing projects.

Sophia unrolled a large banner across a sturdy table. "We need to make this eye-catching. Any ideas?"

Elena tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Perhaps we can incorporate musical notes morphing into paint splashes."

"I like that," Sophia agreed. "It symbolizes the blend of art and music."

Aiden grabbed a paintbrush. "Just tell me where to start."

They settled into a comfortable rhythm—Sophia and Elena sketching out designs while Lugh and Aiden mixed paints and filled in backgrounds.

"Remember when we tried to make that mural last semester?" Aiden reminisced. "We ended up with more paint on us than on the wall."

Elena laughed softly. "That's because someone thought it was a good idea to start a paint fight."

"Hey, it made for good memories," Aiden defended, grinning.

"I'm still finding paint in my hair," Sophia teased, flicking a speck of blue onto Aiden's cheek.

He feigned shock. "Oh, it's war now."

"Not over the banner!" Elena interjected, holding up her hands to shield the artwork.

Lugh watched the exchange with a subtle smile. "Perhaps we should focus."

"Always the voice of reason," Sophia said, her eyes meeting his. "But you're right."

They continued working, the light shifting as the afternoon wore on. Conversation flowed easily, punctuated by shared laughter and comfortable silences.

As they finished the banner, they stepped back to admire their handiwork. Bold lettering announced the fundraiser, surrounded by vibrant imagery that captured the essence of their creative spirits.

"It looks amazing," Sophia said proudly. "Thank you all for your help."

"Anytime," Aiden replied. "Teamwork makes the dream work, right?"

"Indeed," Elena agreed.

They began cleaning up, washing brushes and storing supplies. The camaraderie between them was palpable—a tapestry woven from shared experiences and mutual understanding.

Stepping outside, they were greeted by the golden hues of sunset painting the sky. The air was cool, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the nearby trees.

"Well, I should get going," Elena said, adjusting the strap of her bag. "My parents expect me home for dinner."

"Same here," Aiden added. "Mom's trying a new recipe and wants me to be the guinea pig."

"Good luck with that," Sophia teased.

They all shared a knowing smile.

"I'll see you all tomorrow," Lugh said.

"Don't forget about the study session," Elena reminded.

"I won't."

As they parted ways, Sophia fell into step beside Elena. "So, about Saturday, what are you wearing?"

Elena thought for a moment. "Probably that blue dress I showed you."

"Perfect choice. It brings out your eyes."

Aiden and Lugh walked in the opposite direction. "You know," Aiden began, "it's nice having the four of us hang out like this."

"It is," Lugh agreed quietly.

Aiden gave him a sidelong glance. "You know we'll always have your back, right?"

Lugh met his gaze. "I appreciate that."

"Just making sure you know," Aiden said with a friendly clap on Lugh's shoulder. "So, think you'll ever join the soccer team?"

"Unlikely."

"Had to ask."

They reached the point where their routes diverged. "Catch you tomorrow," Aiden said, offering a fist bump.

Lugh returned the gesture. "Until then."

Walking the remaining distance alone, Lugh reflected on the day's events. The interactions with his friends were a tapestry of subtle nuances—a balance of companionship and personal space that he valued more than he often acknowledged.

Reaching his apartment, he unlocked the door and stepped inside. The quiet embraced him like an old friend. Setting his bag down, he considered the evening ahead.

He moved to his desk, eyeing the notepad filled with cryptic annotations. 

A message appeared in the group chat the four of them shared.

There was work to be done, but perhaps it could wait just a while longer.

Instead, he pulled out his phone and checked the message.

_Aiden: "Good work on the banner today. It turned out well."_

Almost immediately, responses came in.

_Sophia: "Agreed! We make a great team :)"_

_Elena: "It was fun. Looking forward to the study session tomorrow."_

_Aiden: "Don't forget Lugh, promised to help me not fail math!"_

Lugh permitted himself a small smile before typing.

_" Yeah, yeah—I'll do what I can."_

Setting the phone aside, he proceeded to his work.

Character Profile - Elena Michels

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Hair: Long, wavy chestnut brown hair that cascades down to her mid-back.

Eyes: Deep hazel eyes with flecks of green near the pupils.

Height: 5'6"

Build: Slender frame with a graceful posture.

Distinctive Features: A small, silver locket always worn around her neck—a keepsake from her grandmother.

Background:

Elena comes from a middle-class family residing in a quiet suburban neighborhood. She is the only child of Marianne and Victor Michels, both of whom work demanding jobs—her mother as a nurse and her father as an engineer. Due to their busy schedules, Elena often finds herself alone at home, which has fostered her independence but also her loneliness.

She is academically gifted, particularly in literature and history, and spends much of her free time reading or journaling. 

Unknown to her and her parents, Elena has been grappling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since childhood. 

Her symptoms have been subtle and often mistaken for quirks or habits—like arranging books in a specific order, counting steps, or needing to repeat certain phrases silently to feel at ease.

Personality:

Introverted: Prefers solitary activities and finds comfort in routines.

Observant: Notices details that others might overlook, which adds depth to her writing and artwork.

Artistic: Enjoys sketching and often draws scenes from her favorite books or from nature.

Anxious: Experiences internal anxiety, especially when things don't go as planned or when her routines are disrupted.

Empathetic: Despite her shyness, she cares deeply about others and is sensitive to their emotions.

First Encounter with Lugh:

One rainy afternoon, Elena sought refuge in the local library—a grand, old building with towering shelves and the scent of aged paper lingering in the air. 

She was searching for a rare anthology of poetry when she noticed Lugh sitting alone at a corner table, engrossed in a thick tome.

Lugh was a quiet boy known for keeping to himself. With tousled black hair that fell just above his eyes and a penchant for wearing dark clothing, he exuded an air of mystery. 

Intrigued, Elena stole glances at him, curious about the book that held his attention so completely.

As she reached for a book on a high shelf, it slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor with a loud thud. Startled, Lugh looked up, his gray eyes meeting hers for a fleeting moment. 

He offered a slight, almost imperceptible nod before returning to his reading. That brief connection sparked something within Elena—a fluttering sensation she couldn't quite place.

Developing Obsession:

After their initial encounter, Elena found herself thinking about Lugh more and more. Her thoughts became consumed with questions:_What was he reading? What did he think about? Why did he always seem so alone?_

Her OCD began to manifest more prominently as her fixation on Lugh grew. She started creating routines around the possibility of seeing him again:

Library Visits: She began visiting the library every day at the same time, hoping to cross paths with him.

Journaling: Elena filled pages upon pages with observations about Lugh—his mannerisms, the books he read, the way the light hit his face when he sat by the window.

Personal Rituals: Before entering the library, she would tap the doorframe three times and whisper a silent wish to see him.

Significant Event - The Catalyst:

One evening, as Elena was leaving the library, she witnessed an unsettling scene. A car sped by recklessly on the slick street, heading straight toward Lugh, who was distracted by his headphones and unaware of the danger. 

Without thinking, Elena shouted a warning. Lugh looked up, eyes wide, and stepped back just in time as the car splashed through a puddle, drenching him but leaving him unharmed.

Shaken, Lugh gave her a grateful nod, but before she could say anything else, he hurried away into the night. 

This incident intensified Elena's obsession. The realization that she could have lost him ignited a fear and urgency she hadn't felt before.

Escalation of Obsession:

The near-accident became a turning point for Elena. Her intrusive thoughts centered around keeping Lugh safe. 

She believed that only she could watch over him, that her actions directly impacted his well-being.

Following Him: She began tracking his routines—discovering where he liked to sit in the park, which cafés he frequented, and even the route he took home.

Collecting Mementos: Elena started collecting small items connected to him—a discarded coffee cup, a fallen button, a sketch of his silhouette.

Creating a Shrine: In her room, she dedicated a corner to Lugh, arranging his "belongings" meticulously, feeling comforted by their presence.

Approaching Lugh:

Empowered by the belief that fate had intertwined their lives, Elena decided to bridge the gap between them. Her fear of judgment diminished as her obsession overpowered her anxiety.

Initiating Conversation: One day, she mustered the courage to sit across from him in the library. Pretending to be engrossed in a book, she waited for the right moment to speak.

The First Words: Noticing he was reading a novel she admired, she commented softly, "That's one of my favorites." Lugh looked up, surprised. "Mine, too" he replied cautiously.

Bonding Over Books: They discussed literature, discovering a mutual appreciation for classic poetry and existential philosophy. Lugh was reserved but polite, offering brief insights.

Deepening Interaction:

Elena interpreted his willingness to talk as a sign of reciprocal interest. She became more forward in her approach:

Sharing Gifts: She began leaving small gifts for him—an annotated copy of a rare book, a poem she'd written, homemade pastries wrapped neatly.

Creating Coincidences: Arranging to "bump into him" at various places, she feigned surprise each time. "Funny seeing you here," she'd say with a warm smile.

Physical Affection: She grew bolder, occasionally touching his arm during conversations or leaning in closer than necessary.

Lugh's Perspective:

Unbeknownst to Elena, Lugh remained largely oblivious to the depth of her feelings. He appreciated the company but valued his solitude. Her sudden presence in his routine was unexpected, but he didn't perceive it as intrusive initially.
