"So you're close to Deimos?" Katara has been avoiding talking to anyone from flammentta house, that's why she spends her time in the library making sure that everyone is already at their perspective room when she enters and no one will notice her. But she was surprised when she saw Jack standing in front of her door.
"No, I am not."
"Really? I saw you talking to each other today, he likes you." She wanted to laugh, really? Does he like her? Tsk.
"Well we're friends, and that's all."
"Dont you like him?"
"No."
"Be with me then."
"What?"
"You don't like him right? Be with me then." He repeated, she can't help but to blink a few times.
"Are you out of your mind?" Last thing she will speak about in this house is this man standing in front of her, and the last thing she wanted to say is him being insane. She doesn't want to involve anyone.
She saw her smile playfully, she raised her eyebrows.
"You're interesting." He said she wanted to roll her eyes.
"What do you want from me?" Straightforwardly she asks.
"I want you to steal from Deimos, is that okay with you?" Katara looks at him with a confused look, not in a cute way.
"Do you do drugs? Damn bro! You should get sleep, and think of your life decisions. And with all due respect, I will open my door and enter my room. So will you excuse me?"
It was the nicest way of her telling him to 'fuxk off before I kick your ass.'
"No, unless you agreed to go with me." She is now more confused.
"What the? For jesus goodness sake, leave me alone! Did you freaking hit your head on the wall? It seems like your brain transfer to your feet! Arg!" And it's too late. She realised that she already said that, she blinked her eyes a few times again and smiled widely.
"What I mean is, get out of my fucking door! I've been stopping myself and my temper, so before I will throw my frustrations at you just freaking vanish!"
"No, I won't."
"What do you mean you won't?" Katara isn't able to stop herself, she holds his collar and just pulls him to get out of her way. After that she immediately opened her door and entered but before she could even close it Jack was already holding the doorknob preventing her from closing it totally.
"Did you just pull me?" He was shocked, it seems that he doesn't know how to react after what she did.
"No, I did not! How could I? No I will never do that, who would dare to do that." She denied it dramatically.
"You just did."
"You freaking already know and you're still asking me?" She raised her legs to kick him, but he caught it.
"Hey! Let go of me."
"No!"
"Fuck!" She cursed at the top of her lungs.
"Let go of my mother fucker!"
"No, unless you agree to my conditions."
"No, I don't have any intention dealing with you."
She tried her best to recover her legs but he is holding it tightly.
"Then let's stay like this forever."
"You're really crazy!"
"Yes I am."
"Ash! Let go of me!"
"I won't!" He's testing her patience, just a little push and everything in this dorm will set on fire.
"Isn't it in the rules that you can't touch a woman's leg?"
"Too bad woman I don't follow rules." She tried to kick him but he just dodged it.
"Then what's your deal?" She asks, he looks at her.
"If you don't want to be with me, then let's be friends! Let's get closer than you are with Deimos." He's insane, he is freaking insane!
"Why would I be friends with you? I don't even know you."
"What's the point of being friends? Let's get to know each other day by day."
Katara wanted to scream at the top of her lungs because of frustrations. She tried to get to her feet again but she couldn't, she kept arguing with him until she heard a voice.
"Let her go." She looked at him, her eyes immediately widened. She saw the prince standing in front of them, she saw his eyes landing on her legs and Jack's hand. Her cheeks immediately turned red, what is he doing here?
She looked at her leg, it was exposed. Jack smirks that makes the situation worse, she immediately pulls her legs and looks at Jack then rolls her eyes. Shit!
Katara didn't do anything, she just walked towards the prince.
"Umm, greetings your highness.." She said, Deimos looked at her and nodded. He looks so cold, he hates her now. Definitely! She bite her lips together.
"Greeting Lady Ave, I'm here to return your handkerchief that you Seem accidentally drop." Katara looked at his hand and saw the handkerchief, it hers. She might probably really drop it accidentally.
She raises her hand to him, and accepts the handkerchief.
"Ummm thank you, your highness."
"Then I should go now."
"No, I mean. Do you want to enter my room for a moment? Can I offer you something?" He shook his head.
"No, I should go now. Then, if you excuse me."
"But..." She didn't continue her words because the prince just started to walk out, and didn't give her a single glance for the last time.
He's mad, he is!
The next day, Katara tries to reach the crown prince but she can't. He seems so freaking busy and she didn't even get a chance to talk to him even in seconds, is he shutting her down? Why? Is he really mad? Like mad mad?!
Katara entered the classroom of selected nobles and takes a seat, everyone is already present and now they're swarming around Janice who's telling a maybe a really good story. She just ignored them and thought how will she get to meet the prince without him avoiding her.
Why is he mad though? Is he jealous?
No, he can't be! Why would he? Tsk. She wanted to laugh at herself, what? Gosh, what is she thinking?
It's Jack's fault, if she ever sees him again she'll definitely kick his ass. She has no intention of hearing Janice's story but she can hear her, especially if they're just near enough. She heard her soft laughs, it's annoying honestly.
"Does that mean he cares about you, M'lady?"
"Probably, the crown prince even pulled his sword to protect me. He was so cold, but instead of being scared of him. I find him so admirable, it makes me fall in love with him deeper." Katara stopped, what did she just hear? What?
Out of nowhere she felt a pang on her chest, she looked around at the room and realised something. She's not the only one, she was not special at all to everyone in this room. All of them had something on the prince, all of them spent together with him. She bit her lower lips and closed her eyes.
She just realized about herself, she's freaking insane. Why would she start to assume things? She wants to slap herself real hard, did she just like the prince? For real?
What the hell is that? No, it can't be. She can't like him, damn it. Her family's life is in danger, she can't take a risk liking him!
She will do her mission and accomplish it, she can't fall in love with him. No matter what, she must never lose sight of her goals.
The prince is a prince, she wants to live a normal life.
She wants a peaceful life, and she thinks being with the prince is not the life she wanted. She stood up in her seat and walked out to the room. She needs some air, really.
While walking in the hallway Jack saw her, and then shouted Aves name but she just ignored it. She continued walking like she didn't hear anything. But Jack continued, so she stopped and turned around.
"What?!" She shouted back, and her voice echoed in the hallway. Everyone went silent for a second and looked at her. She saw Jack's eyes widen, and he was surprised when she yelled back. She didn't Wait for his reply and continued to walk.
She needs some air, and something will distract her thoughts that's running through her head.
