Interesting.
“Whose account is this?” I ask Lucy.
She taps the face of the guy with gray eyes. “Aiden King. He’s like Asher’s closest friend in England. He’s so dreamy. Not that I’m stalking him or anything.” She sighs. “Pity he’s married. I swear all the good ones are.”
I wonder why he got married so young.
But anyway, this picture erases the slight suspicion that Asher is Cloud003.
A petite figure brushes past us like a wrecking ball.
“Move, Queen Bitch and follower.” Naomi throws her usual remark at me.
Lucy stops talking abruptly, her mouth hanging at an awkward angle.
I step in front of Naomi, blocking her path. “That’s enough.”
With our height difference, she has to look up at me, but that doesn’t erase the malice in her rich brown eyes. “What? No fake apologies this time?”
“If you thought that apology was fake then suit yourself, Naomi.” I cross my arms over my chest. “As much as you like calling us bitches, you’re no different. Lucy has done nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve all these attacks.”
“It’s okay.” Lucy touches my arm, bowing her head.
“It’s not.” I push her in front of Naomi. “If you were Lucy’s best friend, you would know how much your treatment hurts her.”
“What do you know about hurt?” Naomi’s voice is calm considering the seething expression on her face. “What do you know about suffering when you’re all high and mighty?”
“Just stop, Nao,” Lucy pleads, voice choking. “This isn’t you.”
“Yes, it is. You were just too busy following orders to notice it.”
A black Tesla stops right beside us with a screech. Naomi tenses and attempts to dash toward campus. The driver’s door opens, blocking her escape route.
Sebastian steps out, looking dashing in his football jacket, a messenger bag slung over his shoulders.
“Move out of the way, asshole.” She tries to bypass him but doesn’t raise her head.
“Was that a bee buzzing?” He strains his neck with mockery, not looking at her either.
“Move before I sting you.” Her face heats with exertion.
“That would involve you getting near me, and we both know that’s not going to happen, tsundere.”
Naomi’s face reddens. I can feel her rage coming off in waves. Her mouth opens and closes as if she wants to say something, but no words come out.
“Stop it.” I pull Sebastian by the sleeve of his jacket.
Naomi takes the chance to jog toward the school building.
“You can run but you can’t hide, tsundere,” he calls after her.
“What does that mean?” I ask him.
He stares down at me as if just noticing my existence. “Since when do you care?”
Ugh. Okay, I get it. I was an uncaring, selfish little shit. But come on, why can’t everyone stop shoving it in my face? I'm really trying here.
“Reina has changed.” Lucy steps beside me, puffing her chest forward.
