04.

“Daisy…” came a familiar chirp, gaining Daisy’s attention. She sighed in understanding because she knew the person. 

‘Bear it, sweetheart.’ Ayla mused. Daisy looked up and found the man she thought. She sent him a fake smile which was true for him. 

“Hey,” she said in a low voice. Ethan smiled and sat on the seat which was in front of Daisy. She took another deep breath. Ayla was right. He is here to annoy her once again. 

Rosalia could not help but bite on her bottom lip when she found Ethan again. Another guy who is highly interested in Daisy. 

Of course, when she joined the college, a number of boys were after her because of her different type of beauty. 

Her steel gray hair which is her natural hair. Her ocean blue eyes as if stones came out of the mouth of the ocean. Her long eyelashes and sharp senses than the others. And most importantly her white skin with a pinkish glow. She was an ethereal beauty. 

It was the hardest task. Every guy dreamed of her. But by passing time, they realized that Daisy is not that easy. 

“Couldn’t catch you since the morning. How are you, hm?” he asked her like a caring kid. 

She nodded, “Fine. What about you, Ethan? Well I see you’re perfectly fine.” 

“Oh yeah. By the way, what was the reason you didn’t come yesterday?” he begins eating his lunch, eyes focused on Daisy who immediately stopped eating when he arrived. 

“I was just sick.” She casually replied and started chewing on her potato. Her eyes down but she gasped the moment his hand reached up to her forehead and checked on it through the back of his palm.

“What are you—,” she was annoyingly about to ask, removing his hand when he interrupted her, “Oh, you’re good now.” 

Rosalia chuckled, seeing his concern which just annoyed Daisy once again. His action was so quick and unplanned that even Ayla could not stop him before letting it happen. 

‘Stupid human.’ Ayla cursed but Daisy just uttered, “Thanks for your concern but I’m okay, Ethan.” 

Rosalia palmed her mouth, stopping herself from bursting out. She was finding it funny and even enjoying it but Daisy was annoyed as well as her wolf. 

“But Daisy, I can’t help it. You know it’s genuine for you. Please don’t stop me from caring for you.” 

‘Overacting!’ Ayla scoffed while Daisy sighed, answering, “Thanks.” Her fake smile could not go away when she looked at Ethan. The boy tests her patience. 

Shoving the fork into a potato wrapped with a layer of sauce, she raised it to her mouth. Her lips parted and she shoved the piece in her mouth but could not start chewing when she saw Ahaz entering the canteen. 

The girls around the canteen started gawking at him. Some of them even stopped eating. His presence was really magical that could make anyone behave inappropriately. 

“Oh my gawd, he’s here.” Rosalia whispered and Daisy shook her head. She started chewing on her piece, disconnecting her gaze from the white handsome boy. 

‘Overacting start!’ Ayla announced and soon a crowd of girls gathered around him. More girls joined the crowd. Rosalia was about to go when Daisy silently held her wrist. 

“What?” Rosalia gasped before eyeing Ahaz. 

“They are stupid that’s why behaving like stupids but you are NOT a stupid, right?” Daisy shot her a glare. Rosalia pouted and did not move from the seat. 

“Oh, the new guy. I’ve heard girls are crazy after him.” Ethan exclaimed and Rosalia nodded with excitement. 

“Unlike you.” Rosalia added and laughed. Ethan rolled his eyes and muttered, “Then you can’t afford the boy.” 

Rosalia furrowed, scrunching up her nose in anger. “You don’t have to tell me what I can afford and what I can’t.” 

Ethan did not answer but shook his head with a smirk. He was smirking because his words poked Rosalia badly. She was annoyed by this. 

“First you think about yourself. No girl even eye you!” 

Ayla laughed inside and so Daisy wanted too but she had to hide it. 

“Oh really? You don’t even know Natasha proposed to me last valentine day!” 

“Ever looked at her face? Oh yeah! Only ugly girls like her choose you because your face is like a dotted sheet.”

“And you—,” 

“Yeah, what me? What’s wrong with me? Nothing! You can catch nothing to insult—,”

“Your big lips! Your lips go in another direction when you speak.”

“Shut up! Just shut the fuck up! My lips are just—,” 

“So obeying! Believe me your lips are so obeying. They always obey you. Whenever you want them to poke someone’s matter, they do it gladly. Others poke their noses and legs in matters while you use your big lips!” 

“And you Ethan! Ever looked at your nose, huh? Which keeps showering dirt every time, huh!” 

‘Ew, Rosa!’ Ayla reacted and Daisy stopped eating at this moment. She sighed and continued listening to them. 

“Rosa—,” 

“Yes Ethan! Even if you make the scariest sound when you sneeze, understand?” 

“Then why do you listen to that sound?” 

“I can’t shut my ears when you sneeze so damn loudly!” 

“You’re just overreacting because I said the truth that you just can’t afford the new guy.” 

“And who the damn you are telling me my limits?” 

“Ethan Smith!” 

“Fucktard,” Rosalia muttered and then rolled her eyes. 

“Stop it… now just stop it. Why are you quarreling like kids?” 

“He started first.” Rosalia muttered, glaring at Ethan. He just called her a liar inwardly but did not say out loud because she could start another quarrel with him the next moment and he was pissed off now. 

“Okay okay… now calm down, Rosa.” Daisy mumbled, patting her arm. She nodded only, but her mind was screaming to kill Ethan right now. He said Rosalia cannot seduce Ahaz, indirectly and it irritated the hell out of her. 

“Ethan, you should leave for your class. You have Economy’s class, right?” Daisy tried to make a reminder and he nodded as soon as he got the idea. 

“Oh yeah, thanks, Daisy!” He got up with his bag and left another moment. 

She then turned to Rosalia and muttered, “Now stop pouting!” 

Rosalia turned to Daisy and nodded. “I won’t be reacting like this if I’d have punched him. What does he think of himself, huh? Did he ever look at his face so he was judging me?” 

“Rosa, don’t be angry again! He’s your cousin! You two grew like this. Fighting for no reason. And insulting like this is normal for you guys!”
