Chapter Vii

"Did you do it right?" Arya asked the girls whom she instructed to beat Sasha up.

"Hell yea!" 

"It was fun."

She smirked upon hearing those answers. What a pity, she thought. It's sad that Sasha can't do anything to protect herself from people like Arya. 

"Alright, that should do it for now," she muttered.

"What's up though? Why'd you suddenly wanted to beat her up?" Steff curiously asked. She had been quiet but since she had done the crime  she got curious why they even did that. 

Arya raised a brow at Steff who wasn't in the least scared of her. "Didn't you know? She's flirting with Eustone. The Eustone. Did you forgot who he's supposed to be end up with?"

When Steff didn't answer Arya continues. "Me! Me, Steff."

Steff smirked and gaze at the pretend angel of their school. 

"Of course you are."

"Well if that's everything then I'll see you around girls." Arya then waved them goodbye.

Steff is someone who transferred here in Shinrea a year earlier than Eustone. But unlike him, she wasn't popular and all. Then she got recruited into following the angel of the school which was Arya so she could be somebody. She did become a somebody with two more girls forming a group who were entitled as the scary girls in the school. They beat up who they want and who Arya wants to be beaten up. Steff didn't like it but then she also didn't want to be a nobody. A pure social casualty pressure.

After school, Steff was tasked to take out the trash when she came across the girl she had beaten up. The girl immediately looked down and continues to water the plants. 

"Sasha, was it?" Steff asked as she stops in front of the girl. She heard the rumors about Sasha but she never once thought this girl would do such thing.

"Yes," Sasha answers as she was trying her best not to get a glimpse of Steff's face. 

"I'm sorry for punching you. I just had to do it."

It made Sasha look up at Steff. Someone actually apologized to her so it made her stand and stare for a moment. "It's no big deal," she muttered.

Still, Steff was feeling bad but she can't let anybody else see them so she sighed and went on with her duty. Someday she'll learn how to defy Arya and by then, she'll apologize sincerely to Sasha.

Eustone was waiting for Sasha at the gate when Arya came to him. If he wasn't nice, he would've told her off already. She was annoying like a bee to him more than an angel. 

"Hi! Were you waiting for someone?" she asked with a cute smile on her face.

"Yeah. I was waiting for Braun. She finally agreed for me to walk her home," he replied. You can hear how excited Eustone was in his tone. "Finally, right?"

"Yeah... you're finally starting to earn her trust," she fakely beamed. But deep in her she was actually mad at that b*tch Sasha. After getting beaten up, she still said yes to Eustone? Does she want to die? Arya thought.

"Hey, I'm going ahead. I'll see you on Monday, Arya." 

"Wai--"

It shocked Arya when Eustone didn't even try to hear her out but instead run towards the b*tch Sasha. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in anger watching Eustone walking away with the b*tch.

"What are you doing?" Sasha asked with furrowed brows. Eustone had came running to her again with his irritating smile. And now, they're walking together at a sidewalk.

"What do you think I'm doing?" He asked back. When Sasha didn't reply he continued. "I'm walking with Braun because she finally agreed that I can walk her home!" It was like he was singing those words in excitement.

"Quit it!" She sighed. He was looking like a fool with the way he was acting. "I have a part time and I get off at eight. It's up to you if you want to wait."

He knows that she has a part time. Yuki told him when he had dinner at her place. "That's no problem. I'll come and pick you up later."

Sasha stopped walking and looked at him. "Why are you doing this? You just got here and I punched you and now you're acting like you've known me for a long while!" It irritates her that she feels like they're getting close so fast.

"I don't know." He shrugged as if she didn't just raise her voice at him. "Maybe because I want to have you?"

"What the --"

"I mean if that's too fast then being your friend is the best way to have you around..." He was bad at things like this. "In short, I like you."

Sasha glared at Eustone for the longest time. There seemed to be anger in Sasha's eyes instead of proudness that someone as popular as Eustone had told her he likes her. 

"Say something? I just confessed to you!"

Still glaring, Sasha crossed her arms and sighed. "You're probably out of your mind thinking I'd say I like you too." She shakes her head side to side. "I'm going to work now, don't bother me."

"You said you like me too, well not literally but still If I were to cross out every other word and leave 'I like you too' then--"

"Shut up already! Yes! I said it, I like you too!  Now go home!" Sasha didn't mean to shout at him but she was really annoyed. Without looking back at him, she went inside the sweet shop to clock in.

Eustone chuckled the moment she was gone.He moved close at the glass and see through what's inside. Sasha was wearing an apron and had stand in the counter. She looked adorable so he took his phone out and stole a shot. 

 It was crazy that he actually likes annoying her like what he did earlier. She looks cute whenever her face becomes red in annoyance. It makes him want to tease her even more.
