"𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐍𝐎𝐓 get laid last night, Clara Tia Pattison?" she said.
Nyx smirked as she saw irritation flicker in Clara's eyes. She 𝑒𝑛𝑗𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑑 this.
There is always someone who dares to dream about having the crown on their head when it sits 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑑𝑙𝑦 on the 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒚 queen's head. The unworthy think that they can talk their way to the crown, but little do they know they are playing with 𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒, which wouldn't hesitate to 𝑟𝑢𝑖𝑛 them into ashes.
Clara Tia Pattison is one of those always doing pity things to snatch the crown from Nyx. The commoner thinks she can sleep with the entire college to get popularity. If only she knew who she was messing with - the 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐧 doesn't waste her time with 𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠. But it was the time that this one was tamed 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑.
"Are you jealous, Celeste? For your kind information, my list of admirers 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 yours. Unlike you, I am getting a fair amount of attention." Clara snaps at her.
But Nyx knew that she had hit the spot and there was no wonder that Clara started thinking idiotically when she is angered.
"At least I didn't get 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑡 with a stranger's baby while having a boyfriend. I am glad that you aborted the baby or a 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍 fate awaited for him or her. After all, 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚?" she says, a smirk on her face.
Her eyes had a predatory look on them - she was on complete 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 Queen mode. The message was clearly written on them - you are either on her side or in her 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 way. And unfortunately for Clara, she had chosen the wrong side.
Nyx watched as Clara's eyes widened and her stupid mouth finally shut up for good. By the look on her boyfriend's, or soon to be ex-boyfriend's, look the poor boy was completely unaware of her infidelity. Adam wasn't the brightest around here since he merely relied on his parent's fame and rich for shaping his future. He was unluckily a puppet in the hands of society and Nyx wished that this heartbreak helps him turn over a new leaf.
"Wait for a second, you didn't even tell your loving boyfriend about this? Oh, 𝑝𝑜𝑜𝑟 Adam. What did you do, Clara? How can you be a Queen when you are just a 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑤ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑒? At least, I don't 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘 around with anything that has a pulse and a dick." she says, her final blow.
She watches as fury morphs on Clara's face but Nyx isn't scared at all. She stares into her eyes, challenging her to retaliate. Clara shouldn't have messed with Nyx without realizing who she even dared to stand up against.
She watches as Clara raises her hand but grabs it before it hits her face.
No one dares to raise their hand on the Queen and get away with it.
"Now, don't get so violent, 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑟. I heard your daddy dearest is trying his hardest to get the Singapore deal. Won't it be 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑐 when he finds out that it has been canceled?" she warns Clara.
And then the emotion Nyx feeds on appears in Clara's eyes - fear. Girls like Clara aren't concerned about the heart attack that their father might get after hearing such news, they are only worried that they might not be able to buy the latest Gucci bag since their 𝑑𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 won't have the money.
"I will 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 ruin you, bitch!" Clara says.
But she stood alone with no one by her side. Her minions were gone and her ex-boyfriend didn't care anymore. Unlike the Queen who didn't need anyone, Clara was just a scared little girl without the idiots behind her.
"I will 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 to see you 𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒 me, Clara dear. It will be 𝒇𝒖𝒏," she says.
Clara simply scoffs and turns to leave.
"And I thought she would at least try to pull your hair." she hears Zion say behind her.
The cafeteria resumes doing what they were doing, the chaos caused by Clara momentarily put aside but not forgotten - Nyx was sure that their little confrontation was trending on social media.
Clara bought this on herself, though. Nyx simply had no regrets about ruining the delusional girl's life. After all, if Karma won't ruin you, then Nyx 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅.
"You call me your friend, Zion," she says, raising her eyebrows.
"Don't go all gorilla on me, I just enjoy them trying to get better of you. To think that after so many years, they would have stopped trying," he replies.
Nyx chuckles and sits beside him. She grabs her fries and pops them in her mouth - she was starving. Grace never left her, even when she was eating her fries it looked like she was dining in a restaurant. She just had a way of getting things done.
Her eyes searched the place, looking for someone in particular.
And soon enough, she found the person.
Astrid was sitting in a corner, with a tray of food in front of her and a book in her hand. There was no one sitting by her, she looked rather 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑦. Nyx sighed, sometimes she wished that the girl would make an effort to socialize. She was a 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒆.
Nyx drifted her attention back to Zion.
"I am coming with you to the hospital tonight, Zion. It's been a time since I talked to Ryan," she tells him.
"You do know that he can't hear you, 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡?" he says.
"And?" she replies back. She didn't care - having the silent company of Ryan somehow helped her. It was like someone was just listening to her and not judging her back.
"Okay, I will take you. We leave at 6, though. I have work to do tonight." he said.
Nyx stilled, knowing what work Zion was talking about. She wished that he would leave it, she absolutely hated to see him injured. Sometimes even though Zion will win the matches, he would be so beaten up that he would have bruises 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑘𝑠.
Nyx would always take care of him but she could barely contain the tears that threaten to leave her eyes when she saw them. She hoped that after college he would get a good job - if not, then she would pull her strings to land him one. He was a business genius and there was no way she was letting that talent of his go to 𝑤𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒.
"Are you 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 going to leave it?" she asks him.
Zion sighs and looks at her. He takes her hand in his.
"One day I 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 leave it, Lessie. Don't worry." he tries to comfort her.
But then, he told this to her every time. That one day never came.
They discussed random stuff afterward, but Nyx noticed how Zion's eyes will sometimes drift to a certain corner in the room but she ignored it. She might just be paranoid.
"I am going to go to.... I just remember something. Talk to you later, Lessie." Zion says as he gets up.
He kisses her cheek and leaves. Nyx frowns in confusion - 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏?
Her eyes scanned the cafeteria and she got irritated when she noticed something.
Zion was walking out with 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒅.
