Chapter 111: I am NOT frustrated
"Hold on, how did we get to talking about Eloise?" Caius asked while still keeping enough of a whisper that they both could be ignored by the class at large.
"Because it’s been almost a week, Caius. She’s been waiting. What, you kiss her, get her hopes up, and then nothing while you slobber it all up with that possessive bitch?!" Kaya said and considering who had been a subject of this conversation from the start, it was not all that hard to figure out who the last two words were referring to.
It also wasn’t hard to decipher how Kaya would have found out about that. For one, all the icy looks Aylin had thrown their way a few times at the Cafeteria could not have gone unnoticed. Hell, the entire class could see and feel it. Also, Caius had a feeling it was something Aylin had talked about while the girls were all back at their Dormitories.
"I’ve done as much with Eloise as I have with Aylin," Caius said.
"And that’s the point," Kaya said in a seething whisper through gritted teeth, "Where do you get off leaving sweet Eloise hanging while going after her?"
She said ’her’ with an enunciation of detest that had Caius wondering what exactly Aylin had said to her. Not just today while they walked to class, but ever as well.
He felt the pricking of an icy stare and followed it, knowing already who was giving it. And of course, seated beside her friend Marianne, Aylin was looking over at where Caius and Kaya were seated with a smirk at the argument she could see was ensuing due to her words.
When Caius turned to Kaya, he realized she was looking over at Aylin as well. Likely drawn by the icy glare.
"Has Aylin ever... attacked you?" Caius asked, wondering if he had been too negligent.
Kaya whipped her head around and the corner of her lips pulled up in a smirk.
"She wishes she was confident enough for that..." she said and clenched her hands around her arms so tight that the back of her hands were starting to turn white from how taut the muscles underneath were becoming due to tension. Any longer and Caius was sure she would be making welts appear on her skin underneath the sleeves of her uniform jackets and shirt.
"I’d pulverize her," Kaya completed her sentence but didn’t look at Caius when she did. Instead, she looked at Aylin whom she was staring daggers at. Tiny green motes of her Nature Magic were starting to appear now.
