Luke immediately said before she—he meant this Olivia—talked nonsense.
"Sorry miss. If you want to talk about football, I'm not interested and I don't understand at all."
Suddenly, Olivia laughed out loud and while trying to suppress her laughter, she wiped away the tears at the end of her lids. Adding, "No, Luke. I wasn't meaning to talk to you about football. That's not what I meant. I thought you'd at least have some sense after he met you. But you haven't, have you? Well, it's hard."
This woman babbles this and that without a clear context while occasionally smoking her cigar. Who do we mean ? Who is meant by him ? What other meaning does the keeper have in addition to playing football? What should Luke have understood? All the matter is like random hopping. Confusing for Luke.
Luke was so hesitant to let her in or just told hrer to sit on the terrace chair. So, he let the woman just stand in front of the door like this.
"Sorry, what do you mean?" asked Luke, skeptical.
"What do I mean? Yeah, it takes time to explain, moreover it looks like you are still completely new to it. But since the time is limited, let me shorten it."
Now it's starting to get weird. She smoked a cigar while looking to the right and left of my house. Then, leaned slightly towards Luke and spoke in a half whisper.
"They've noticed it, you know. The full moon is coming soon. So you and your keepers better get ready…"
"Wait, wait…" Luke interrupted. "What the hell? Who are they?"
But she seemed undivided focus and just kept on babbling. "... you and your keeper get ready to go with us immediately," she said.
Alright, enough! Enough of this bullshit! Luke now have no qualms thinking that she is just a crazy woman who wanders around in the night. So Luke gently pushed the woman's shoulder away a little and agreed to her words earlier. Then, before the mad woman who claimed her name was Olivia could say any more, Luke closed the door tightly.
In the living room, Ulfa turned to Luke.
"The guest has returned?"
"Already."
"Is he your schoolmate?"
"No. I don't know who she is either. Next time, please don't open the door for that woman, Ulfa. She's just a madman on the loose," Luke answered casually as he climbed the stairs to the room.
Olivia's arrival, even though it didn't make him emotions explode, but still annoying. None of her words could enter Luke's head easily. Really like bullshit. For example, when she mentioned the full moon. What does the full moon have to do with Luke and the keeper having to go somewhere?
Stupid!
He did't understand. Luke chose to just sleep tonight.

Sunny morning, warm air, and clean lockers. The calm then collapsed instantly when Valentina appeared beside me.
Ask, "Good morning. Did you sleep well?"
"Not bad," Luke replied still cold as usual.
“You didn't come with that girl today,” Valentina said. The girl in question is Rei.
"No. She left first. why?"
"Well, are you free tonight to—"
"No. I'm busy and anytime you want to ask me, I'm busy."
Without giving Valentina a chance to interrupt, Luke spoke very quickly and decisively and then sauntered off towards the language lab. Leaving Val. Let him despair and give up. Luke is actually surprised, why doesn't Valentina give up about him? After all, she can get a cooler and more handsome guy than Luke Bright. Why is she still chasing Luke like this?
Once Luke said this to Amy. However, since Amy is a girl and she is friends with Valentina, Amy probably understands better. Well, Amy said, the reason why Valentina Miller kept trying to get close to Luke after everything that had happened was because Valentina really liked him.
"And you think I believe that reason?" he said.
“No, no,” Amy shook her head. "It's not what you think, Luke. Back then, maybe Valentina didn't like you because she didn't really know you. But, after you guys…"
"All right, all right," Luke interrupted Amy, "Enough. Turns out I really don't want to hear any excuses about Valentina Miller. I just wanted you to tell her to stay away from me. I'm not mad at her anymore, but please stay away from me. Say so her, okay?"
Amy Lee chuckled. "Tell herself. Your business is none of my business."
That's how it is.
Ah never mind! The more he thought about Val, the more Luke remembered those stupid times. Better now focus on German lessons. Because there is a test and they have to listen carefully. Too bad there's no Amy or Andrew here so no one can help Luke. Even so, Luke immediately put on the headset when Miss Helen came in and handed out the papers.
It's just the usual test of the first thirty-five minutes, but what Luke experiences next is just plain weird. Because Luke should have listened to a problem with a story format that tells about the myth of the Werewolf in German from his headset. But in the middle, the matter of the story suddenly changed. Luke wasn't sure if this only happened to him or not, but what was certain was that the voice he heard in his ear had become like this;
"... at the peak of your teens, you will receive signs. So be prepared. Immediately find the guard, cover the body's scent and go wandering. They already know it. They already know it!"
That last sentence suddenly became a scream so, so loud that Luke felt his eardrums burst. Luke's reflex jolted him to his feet, forcibly pulling the headset and slamming it onto the table. As a result, everyone in the language lab turned their heads towards Luke.
"Bright, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Are you okay?" asked Miss Helen in astonishment.
Luke, who was still shaken, was speechless for a few seconds. So, after panting and trying to steady his heartbeat, he apologized to Miss Helen.
"I saw a spider crawling on the table Miss. I'm sorry ," said Luke curtly. Luke deliberately lied because he did not want to prolong the business. Besides, come on… where would any sane human being believe what he just experienced?
Slowly, Luke sat back down and grabbed the headset and put it around his head. This time it's safe. What was heard was the voice of a computer woman reading a German story problem, Hansel und Gretel. After that, there were no more strange incidents until the end of the exam.
Even so, it still feels weird. Luke can't count how many oddities he's been having lately. What he realized after leaving the language room was, Luke remembered who the voice belonged to from the headset he heard earlier. It was the same voice as Olivia the crazy woman. Even the topics of conversation are similar.
Now the question is, apart from being a crazy woman, did she also hack into the school radio just for something so ridiculous?
