: Stay

 I look at the closed door of my office and heave a sigh. A few hours have passed already after the conversation I had with Rufus, yet here I am, still not over with what happened.

  It's over. My friendship with Rufus has already ended. After today, we will treat each other as strangers.

 This is what I want. To break my friendship with him, yet my heart couldn't stop complaining about my decision. It wants me to take it back. But my mind is telling me no.

  I've been having an internal conflict for hours now, but I still haven't settled it. I slump my head on my table and groan.

  Why does being a villainess so difficult? Why can't I just live like Princess Paislee do? All she had to think about was how to protect Prince Fraser, but here I am, facing problems every now and then.

  "Why did I become the villainess? Why??" I mumble to myself. However, I was startled when a voice answered me.

  "Maybe because of your mean personality."
