Chereads / Chasing The Villainess / Chapter 2 - ENCOUNTER

Chapter 2 - ENCOUNTER

I'm Claire Dalen Sonic the trash child of the Sonic House. I wasn't genius and wasn't lovable. They named me the trash of Sonic who was good for nothing. I always been compared to Remi who's genius and pretty they say.

She was everything. She's the reputation of the Sonic house second to my brother who's been serving to the palace as a knight. Remi was the cause of the extinction of my existence. Even my brother becomes cold to me. Knife keeps on piercing on my heart just remembering that the person who's been close to me are now to far away and unable to reach.

" I want to go back to the past." I was sitting under the oak tree on top of a hill. This was my favorite place to read and to hangout.

If I could go back in time I'll go back to the times where they still give me warm hugs and soft kiss on my cheeks. When there gaze are still warm and when they don't think of me as a trash.

My chest become so heavy just remembering the things that has been stolen to me. I want to scream to ease my pain.

I cry like a child I let my voice to come out to my mouth. This way better, it can decrease the pain I was bearing.

"You're too noisy." My heart skip a beat, I was shocked. There's someone here except me. As far as I know I'm only the only one who was coming to this place and where did that voice coming from? It was just like a faint voice but I heard it.

I keep on turning around to find who was he but I didn't see anyone. I think I was just hallucinating. I sniffed because I feel there's water falling in my nose trellis.

I immediately get my small mirror in my bag. I groaned when I saw my helpless self. I looked like blasted. I was stiffened when I saw a figure in the branch of the tree on the mirror. He was staring at me while his two hand was in his head. It takes me a half of a minute to get back to reality and look at him.

When our eyes meet I can't take off my gaze to him. He's gaze was drowning me though his eyes are emotionless. I was drowning on those ash gray eyes. Those thin and kissable lips of him, his pointed nose and thick eyebrows I think I already memorized it.

My forehead creased when he started on pointing me then wiping his nose strellis. I gradually understand what is he doing. I blushed and Immediately averted his sight and get my handkerchief and wipe the cold in my nose strellis.

This is so embarrassing!

I heard him chuckle a bit that makes me more embarrassed. I stood up in a rush so that I can get away on this embarrassing situation.

"I don't see anything," He said when I was about to walk away. I bite my lower lip and clenched my hands. I know he said that to make me feel better but it makes me more and more embarrassed and that scene is getting on my nerves.

"Yeah Forget it." I shouted and run as fast as I can.

I stopped and catching my breathe when I arrived in the corridor. I put my hand on top of my chest and the other hand is on top of my thigh.

"Claire, what happened to you?" I turn around and saw Prince Elrod and a familiar person approaching to my direction. I sighed and stand straight.

"It's good to see you, your highness." I said and bow to him and back to my position.

"Don't you want to greet your brother?" He said. That's right he's with my brother. I wonder why my brother is with the 3rd prince. I looked at my brother he was looking at me too but his eyes were cold and emotionless. It feels like he was looking to an unvaluable thing.

I longed for my brother, I want to hug him and say that I miss him but I can't, our gap is a million miles away. I can't reach him.

I grip my uniform thightly, " I-Its been a while b-brother." I bite my lip to prevent my tears from falling. Still he was wearing his cold look.

"You look the same trash," I was dumbfound on what my brother said to me. What would I expect him to say. I want to cry but I can't, I can't let them see that I am weak. I heard the prince laugh.

"You're way too harsh to your sister, Leson." The prince laughed again as if this situation was a joke. I was in pain right now but then he can laugh like that.

I forced my self to smile at them. I wish pain wasn't visible in my face. " I'm an expensive trash then brother." I forced my self to laugh naturally as expected the 3rd Prince also laugh and my brother was giving me his emotionless look. He doesn't care.

"Prince Elrod the king is waiting we should go." My brother said.

Brother am I not worth of time?

"Then it's a goodbye, Claire." The prince said but my brother didn't bother on saying goodbye to me.

They hate me that bad.

I bowed again to them and they start to leave. I watched them to leaving. I ventured that my brother will turn around and look at me but I was expecting impossible things.

I need to be strong. There's no one here I can lean on. They all hate me.

All of the students including me were on the main hall now. We were are preparing a ballroom dance for the incoming anniversary of the academy. In all of people I was partnered to him.

I want to avoid that man on the oak tree but unlucky me I was partnered to him. This was so awkward. He wasn't saying anything when we were dancing he was serious. He is a good dancer while me I always stepped his foot. He wasn't complaining instead his guiding me.

I stepped on him again, "Sorry." I wisphered at him.

"Hmm," There's something in my stomach that feels like a butterfly moving when I hear him like that. It was soft and I want to hear it again.

" Your name is, Claire?" He asked me when we were still dancing. I just nod to answer him words won't let out in my mouth.

The grip of his hand on my waist that is loose a while a go become thight and he pulled my body to him that makes our body become more intimate. I didn't expect that he will do that.

"Now look at me," He command. I was like a puppet, I immediately look at him. Our eyes meet again and there his eyes drowned me again.

" Is there someone says that your eyes were beautiful?" He averted his eyes when he said that. No there's no one.

"You're the first," I smiled at him. I felt warm in my heart.
