Florence moved away from Reese, who was still fiddling with her watch, "Okay, let's go."
"Uh huh." Responded Florence, dusting herself off as she got up from the bed. She looked over at Reese sadly.
"Don't look at me like that," Reese felt her face burning pink, "we've got to get to class."
"Ey, you don't have the right to blush and look away after the way you just touched me." Reese refused to turn to her, hiding her face, which was an even brighter pink, "Well, let's get to our classes then."
"Um, yeah sure." Said Reese, clearing her dry throat. Once they walked out of the dorm, they had to split ways. Florence's next class was in the shooting range, and Reese wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face off. She opened the restroom door to see several other third year girls goofing off, one of them being Sarah.
She seemed to have noticed the lingering redness on Reese's face, "What's got the cold, Silent Ghost blushing like a middle school girl?" Reese ignored her and proceeded to rinse off her face, "Ya know what? I don't appreciate being ignored, even if it is by someone like you." Reese turned to face her.
"Well that's too bad." She began walking towards the door.
"I'm still pissed that I didn't get that Florence girl as my lackey ya know. She was hella pretty, I would've had quite a nice time with her." Reese froze and the other girls chuckled amongst themselves as Sarah kept poking for a reaction, "Probably would've needed to give her a bit of something too, she seemed feisty. But you know what they say, the harder it is to get something, the more you want it."
"Shut up." Said Reese, obviously warning her not to go any further.
"Oh? Is she perhaps the reason you're so red?" When Reese kept glaring, she laughed, "Hah, that's what I thought. You try to act all high and mighty, but in the end, you're just like dear old Charlie, aren't you?" She barely had time to snicker when Reese threw her first punch. Hitting her square in the nose, Sarah held it in pain, "What the f*ck you little-" she tried to hit Reese, but was too distracted by the blood trickling down her lip to properly jab at her. Reese dodged easily and the other girls, slightly in shock before, tried to get at her as well, missing almost every time. One darker haired girl managed to hit Reese right in the stomach before promptly having her wrist snapped like a twig.
"F*ck!" Yelled the girl, cradling her now useless hand in the other, "This b1tch is a f*ckin demon." She snarled. Adrenaline pumped violently through Reese's system, allowing her to avoid any further attacks. After a few more lame attempts, they gave up altogether.
She turned away from the defeated girls only to hear Sarah say, "You only fight because you know it's true."
"F*ck off." She responded, slamming the door behind her.
