Previously..

"Shut up, Quarter! You're just like him! You two are like a bunch of shitty amaranth that should be fed to disgusting cows!" I added wriggling my legs around.

"Uh.. Nat--"

"I have sooo many things to describe you piece of crappy slimes!" I continuously raged until, i felt a presence behind me. I huffed for the nth time getting more and more outraged.

I stood up weirdly looking at the two frozen idiots as i turned around to meet someone's manly chest.

"Crappy.. Slimes..?" He trailed out as i slowly raised my head to see his narrowed eyes piercing through mine.

Oh no..

. . .

"What an insult for someone who looks like a dried slime." The tan smirks cockily, teasingly crooking a smile. Natalia fumed by this.

"Oh-oh! Really?! Oh really?!" The latter intoned, straightening her poise in domination. "What a backfire for someone who has no friends!" She added as the two behind her gasped.

"Did somebody say friends?!"

A voice exclaimed as everyone turned to the door to see the one and only extroverted Valerie by the doorway.

"Did somebody say friends?" Raya repeats in question as she trailed behind her best friend who has a wide toothy grin in display.

"You must be someone new!" Valerie chimed, skipping towards the tanned boy who weirdly stared down at her. "That's Natalia Vermillion in front of you! And the two in the back are--!"

'Natalia Vermillion.' The tanned boy pinned at the back of his head as he glares down the ash-haired girl who glared back at him.

Both of them will surely remember this day.

"--and this is my best friend Raya Shien Zayen and my name is Valerie Suarez!" The said girl pointed at each person in the room, introducing them one by one.

"I-I don't think we should really be talking here, valerie." Raya stammered, grabbing the latter's backpack, pulling her away, the dark-haired-girl noticing the heating atmosphere between the two nearby.

"Why not? Oh! I get it! We're by the doorway! How about we introduce ourselves by the--"

"I'll be keeping an eye out of you from now on, Natalia Vermillion." The tanned boy hissed in aggravation, walking back out the classroom.

A deafening silence erupted the circle of friends as Natalia silently growled, giving the door a deadly glare.

"Well.. that kinda rhymed.." Valerie shrugged her shoulders optimistically. "Anyways, what was his problem?" She whispered, pointing her thumb behind her shoulder, pointing at the direction out the door.

"I'd be asking the same thing." Raya chortled, looking over the two who only stared behind the ash-colored-haired girl in concern.

Students then started entering the classroom one by one interrupting the small circle of friends from their small conversation as they all picked their seats.

. . .

As the current class goes by, everyone was peacefully taking notes as pen scribbles, papers and electric fans was the only sound everyone could hear.

Not the said circle of friends though..

Valerie suggested that they'll be seating in the back together so it'll be more 'fun' although, taking notes without talking doesn't seem so fun..

..including the still outraged ash-haired girl furiously tapping and fidgeting the pen in her hand.

Cleavon paused, side-glancing on the gray-haired girl's notebook that's not even half-way filled with notes. The said girl worriedly stares up at the fuming girl's face.

Natalia's leg started bouncing up and down as she eventually slammed her pen down her table, raising an arm afterwards.

The professor perked up, nodding in understatement as Natalia stands up, exiting the classroom.

"Where is she going?" Kynt mumbled as he glanced over the dark-haired girl beside him as they shared looks.

"Let's give her some time alone, she'll need to release something by herself." The latter softly smiled as the two went back to writing.

Meanwhile..

"Stupid moron-.." The ash-haired girl cussed under her breath, eliciting random gibbers by herself on her way down the not so empty corridor.

She was a hot-headed girl, the incident earlier definitely didn't help. Plus, if that 'tanned imbecile' didn't leave any sooner. He'll be seeing himself in a hospital bed for a few days.

Natalia sighed heavily, turning to the left on the way towards the girl's bathroom. As soon as she entered the girl's bathroom, she slammed her hands on the sink as she pondered for a minute with her head low.

Right now, release was piling up on her mind. She needed to release something without hurting anyone or anything.

She can't pent-up rage the whole period.

Taking a deep breath as she opens the faucet. So aggressively, she started washing her hands, letting the cool water submerge her hands and arms as she slightly relaxed by this.

Her shoulders dropping in a relaxed manner as her red heating ears went back to its normal shade of skin, it's quite normal for her ears to go insanely red every time she's livid.

Out of blue, a figure entered the bathroom, the gray-haired girl still didn't take any notice of her as she kept splashing the water here and there while keeping her head low whilst her eyes closed.

Eventually splashing the girl who entered as the latter shrieked disgustingly. The ash-haired girl snapped her eyes forward to the mirror, glaring at the girl who mirrored her look.

Natalia blinked a few times, slightly tilting her head sideways, seemingly recognizing the girl behind her.

'Tanya?'

. . .

Meanwhile.. on the other side of the bathroom..

Lawrence Nero Beethoven exits a bathroom stall as he made his way to the sink to wash his hands, drying them with paper towel afterwards.

He cleared his dry throat, stepping out the male's bathroom only to hear commotion inside the girl's bathroom.

"This isn't your home, country girl! Stop splashing dirty water around!"

"Are you stupid? Or are you just dumb? Look, if you're calling yourself a gemini being all two-faced, at least make one of them look smarter, so you won't look dumber than you already do."

Although, even if how wrong it is to peek inside the girl's bathroom, the harsh words that kept echoing inside didn't give him any time to double think it.

He peeks his head inside the bathroom to see two familiar figures facing each other with an outraged look.

It was his childhood best friend and the gray-haired girl he bumped into this morning.

"Well, maybe if you wash your hands like a normal person, this wouldn't have happen!"

"Excuse me, cockroach lady. I am a normal person and i am washing my hands as--

He snickered, almost seeing a hot steamed smoke coming out of their noses as he could feel their eyes darkened as the minute passes.

He swore he could see a vein sticking out of the ash-haired girl's jaw though, even if she's his nemesis. He couldn't lie about not finding her attractive.

He shook his head, silently scolding his body in betraying him as he blinked a few times.

'Are these two.. fighting?' He thought to himself, sighing as he moves his gaze towards his childhood friend.

"Tanya." He called, interrupting the two as the exclaimed girl turned to look at the tan who bobbed his head, telling Tanya to follow him as he left the scene.

The latter faces the ash-haired girl again, giving her one last sharp look before exiting the bathroom.

Natalia paused, looking over the leaving figure of the brunette.

'Imbecile..?'
