Chapter 21: HELP! Now I Have a Secret Fan Club?!
Chapter 21: HELP! Now I Have a Secret Fan Club?!
Step One: Wake Up to a Nightmare
I woke up feeling suspiciously peaceful.
Too peaceful.
Which meant—
Something was wrong.
I sat up and saw Lila smiling at me from my window.
I choked. "WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM?!"
She tilted her head. "The window was open."
…THAT DOESN'T MEAN BREAK IN?!
Before I could throw a pillow at her, my door burst open.
Damian walked in like he owned the place.
"Good morning, little villainess."
I gasped. "HOW DID YOU GET IN?!"
Damian raised a key. "I have my ways."
WHY DO YOU HAVE A KEY TO MY ROOM?!
Step Two: Discover the Horror
I glared. "What do you two WANT?!"
Lila smiled. "Did you check the newspapers?"
I froze.
"…Why?"
Damian handed me a gossip magazine.
I read the headline.
And screamed.
"MYSTERIOUS LOVE TRIANGLE SHAKES HIGH SOCIETY – WHO WILL THE VILLAINESS CHOOSE?!"
OH. MY. GOD.
THERE WERE PHOTOS.
Me blushing.
Lila holding my hand.
Damian smirking at me.
IT LOOKED LIKE A DRAMA POSTER.
I threw the magazine. "WHO WROTE THIS?!"
Lila: "Your fan club."
I froze.
"Excuse me. My WHAT?!"
Step Three: Denial, Panic, Regret
Lila handed me a stack of letters.
Damian smirked. "People adore you now."
I opened a letter.
"Lady Seraphina, your love story is so inspiring! Please choose wisely! #TeamDamian"
I opened another.
"You and Lady Lila are so romantic together! #TeamLila"
I opened the third.
"Or you can just date both. #PolyQueen"
I DIED INTERNALLY.
I threw the letters. "MAKE IT STOP."
Damian: "No."
Lila: "It's fun."
I collapsed.
Step Four: Things Get WORSE
Suddenly, a maid rushed in.
"Lady Seraphina! Your presence is requested in the ballroom!"
I froze. "Why?"
She gulped.
"Your fan club… is holding a meeting."
…
I AM GOING TO FAINT.
Step Five: Accept My Fate (Or Not)
I marched into the ballroom.
IT WAS FULL OF PEOPLE.
Nobles. Students. Random strangers.
ALL HOLDING SIGNS.
"TEAM DAMIAN!"
"TEAM LILA!"
"JUST DATE BOTH!"
I grabbed my head.
"I HATE ALL OF YOU."
They cheered.
Damian and Lila stood beside me, smirking.
Lila: "We should have more dates."
Damian: "The people demand it."
I screamed.
