OSCAR-WINNING PERFORMANCE

Kiaraa clicked her tongue lightly before gently opening the door of the bathroom and stepping out with a slight smirk. A small smile graced her lips as she heard the cries and wails of the girls she just dealt with.

'Do they think they have the right to gossip about her highness? Never!!! I'll make sure to cut off their tongues if they dare to do it next time.'

She flipped her long hair before leaning by the wall with arms crossed as she listened to the girls pouring profanities at her. She frowned in displeasure.

'Looks like I'll have to do more than beating them up next time.'

"You promised not to kill them" Yuna whispered near her ear and Kiaraa gleamed lightly while playing with her long hair.

"But I didn't promise not to send them to the hospital" she replied with a smile and Yuna sighed lightly while leaning her back against the wall as well.

Just then, there was a commotion and more students huddled by the hallway. Kiaraa closed her eyes and stroked her temples lightly as she knew the cause of the uproar.

Claire Anderson walked towards her with a few girls trailing behind her. Kiaraa wrinkled her nose slightly as she got a whiff of the strong perfume Claire wore and it nauseated her.

"How dare you?"

Kiaraa heard and slightly opened her eyes only to be met with a perfectly manicured finger pointed at her face. She glared at Claire from head to toe and bit her tongue to prevent her from spitting curses at her.

The last thing she wanted was to offend more rich people. Although she was rich herself and not to mention she had a lot of power, she was already dealing with some rich families back in Korea, and adding another American rich brat was another headache.

She didn't want to deal with such people all her life. Call her lazy but that's just her way of dealing with life.

She grasped Claire's index finger pointed at her face and controlled herself inwardly from snapping it into two.

"Get lost." She dangerously muttered and everyone in the hallway felt the dangerous aura emanating from her and they subconsciously stepped back.

"Hey, who do you think you are to order me around? Do you know who I am? I can get you expelled this instant you sneaky bitch." Claire snapped angrily and Kiaraa inhaled a deep breath sharply. She looked up and prayed silently.

"Please forgive me, but I have no other choice than to kill her."

The onlookers were baffled and they eyed her skeptically. What is this she-devil up to now?

Kiaraa took a deep breath and flashed an evil smile towards Claire. Somehow, Claire felt goosebumps rise on her skin. She felt that Kiaraa's aura changed ever since she came back. She didn't know why or what caused it either but she felt that Kiaraa wasn't someone to be messed with and she gave of that 'don't come close to me' vibe.

The she-devil in question, crossed her hands in front of her chest and took one step towards Claire still with that evil smile plastered on her face. The students in the hallway felt frozen to the spot. As much as they wanted to bring out their phones and record any fight that was going to ensue between Kiaraa and Claire, they couldn't do it. They were just rooted to the floor and held their breath for anything that was going to happen and prayed silently in their hearts for Claire.

Claire took a step backward as Kiaraa moved forward and their movements continued in sync.

Kiaraa tilted her head towards the girl's bathroom and spoke in a low voice,

"Why do I feel that you are silently pleading with me to make you end up like them?"

"Huh....." Claire was short of words and Kiaraa laughed gently. Her smooth voice reverberated in the quiet hallway.

Where was the arrogant girl from a minute ago who threatened to expel her?

Now she couldn't form a single coherent sentence.

"But don't worry Claire darling, who am I to go against your wishes? After all, I am such an angel with a kind soul and beauty at heart so I will grant your request with pleasure."

The onlookers: "...." Does she not feel any shame while praising herself with such contradicting words?

Angel?

Kind soul?

Beauty at heart?

Where was this so-called angel? Why couldn't they see her? Since when do demons declare themselves as angels?

What an ironic world.

The hallway grew silent and they couldn't discern what was going to happen next. They just stood and watched the show silently wondering what their devil queen was scheming.

Kiaraa continued stepping forward slowly and Claire stepped backward. A small smile graced her gorgeous face when she saw that they were about to reach a wall.

Just then, she felt a strong clasp on her shoulder and she paused in confusion. The hallway echoed with gasps. The hand turned her around lightly and then she got to see the heavenly figure who dared to interrupt her mission.

If it was someone else she would have snapped immediately but when she looked at the god-like figure standing in front of her and scanning her body from head to toe she swallowed back her words.

Claire found a new light as she replayed the scenes in her head. It felt like a movie where a poor girl will be bullied and then be saved by the handsome school's sweetheart. With that thought in mind, she decided to play the damsel in distress to gain his attention.

She quickly grabbed Adrian's hand and forced a tear from her eye.

"Sh... sh.. she bullied me." Claire hiccuped between words to make her acting more factual and credible.

Kiaraa almost rolled her eyes into her head at Claire's actions, 'What an oscar-winning performance, he's here and now you want to play the white lotus.' She thought inwardly and watched intently to know what scene she was going to pull next. A fainting scene? A dying scene? let's watch the world's best actress.

Adrian on the other hand felt his blood boiling, he hated being touched by women especially women like her. He glared at Claire darkly and feeling the temperature dropping drastically, Claire immediately let go of his hands but still maintained her act.

Adrian looked at Kiaraa intently as if scanning her body and the girl in question seemed unbothered by the whole situation. She just stared ahead with a bored expression.

"Did you kill them?" he asked in a soft tone and that's when her eyes snapped towards him.
