After the first subject, the second subject will be P.E.
Athasia gathered all her books, arranging it before putting it under her desk. She glanced at the physics book, which got in the middle of the commotion earlier. Her perfectly arched eyebrows furrowed.
"Is this a sign?..to hate physics?" she mumbled.
All of her classmates headed to the locker room to change into their P.E uniform. Athasia was left there alone. She used the remaining minutes from the first subject to wander into that wide classroom.
Glass windows underneath the thin curtains. Air-conditioned and calm ambiance. All of them have a double desk, one for the books and one for taking notes. Also, the chairs all have soft cushions, preventing your thighs and butt from feeling numb.
Again, a smirked stretched across her cheeks. "And who do you think made all of these?" she snorted and crossed her arms.
She dashed in front of the whiteboard, sat on the teacher's desk, and laughed. "Look! This is all the fruit of my imaginations! I am the GOD here..HA HA HA!"
"E-Excuse me.."
The echoing laugh vanished into thin air, and she almost stumbled while jumping off the desk. Athasia cleared her throat, "Y-Yes?" She gazed at the student standing near the door.
Too bad her almighty scene had been interrupted.
The girl had short black hair and glasses. She's small and timid. Trembling hands and down eyes. "S-Sorry to interrupt you, I f-forgot something." she didn't look Athasia in the eyes as she trailed the small pathway towards her desk. Under it was a small pocket, and from the looks of it, it's a wallet.
Athasia remembered her. She's Callie, the side character who's always helping Athasia after being bullied. Just like her, Callie came from a rich family, but with loving parents.
Athasia sighed in relief. 'At least, she deserves a loving family' she mumbled.
Callie bowed her head and took the wallet she hid under her desk. The truth is, she lied to Olivia that she forgot her wallet. Because she knew that they would let her buy anything from the cafeteria.
Even if her parents provided her everything, as the second child, Callie also wanted to prove herself, at least.
But after seeing Olivia getting all fired up earlier, she couldn't help but tremble and tell the truth.
She didn't want to get involved in another matter anymore, so she ignored Athasia, but when she set a foot out of the room–
"Ah..The Errand Girl,"
Callie flinched. She gripped her wallet in her hands.
Athasia clicked her tongue. 'I remembered now,' she thought. Callie was the errand girl of Olivia, the school princess who only got her eyes for Maximilian Svestin, the male lead.
Maximilian is Athasia's childhood best friend. It's because their families were business partners. But after confessing, the guy started to hate her and distance himself from Athasia. It led him to meet and turned his attention to Olivia.
Back to Callie. She halted and turned her head. Meeting Athasia with her brown down eyes.
"We're having a P.E class, right?" Athasia walked closer to the girl and raised her arms, revealing his wallet. "Then why do you have this? It's already lunch break after our P.E"
To her surprise, Callie yanked away from her. "I-It's none of your business," she exclaimed, holding her other trembling hands. From her heavy breaths, she whispered. "We're just the same anyway…"
"That's right," Athasia said. She shut the glass door closed and dragged the girl towards her pace.
However, before they reached the second building, Callie pushed her and strangled. She already had enough in her hands. Even if she said that Athasia was the same as her, she didn't want to drag the Young Miss into trouble.
Before their lips could utter a word, a professor from upstairs passed by and asked them why they're loitering around. The two girls bowed their heads, and as soon as the professor disappeared from their eyes, Athasia pulled Callie under the stairs.
"Hey, you're doing this because of Olivia, right?" Athasia pinned the girl, tight but careful.
Hearing the familiar name, Callie got stunned. She turned her head away. "What does that have to do with you? Just please let me go ,and mind your own business," she bit her lip. "I-I'm doing this by my own accord,"
Athasia parted from her, "Then why are you trembling like that?"
As far as she knows, Callie was a selfless girl. She didn't want to drag anyone into her trouble. For her, it's better to suffer alone than bothering others.
A grin curved Athasia's lips. She swiftly took the wallet from the girl, leaning closer. "How about letting me do the 'errand girl' task for today?" She smiled, walking away, leaving Callie in agape.

As soon as Athasia reached the cafeteria, she smiled so widely that the janitors on the side, sweeping some dry leaves, found her creepy. They gathered onto the side of building A to chitchat. Wiping the sweats from their foreheads, they glanced at Athasia with such judging eyes.
"Isn't that the illegitimate daughter of Chairman Rymerton?"
"What is she even doing smiling like that?"
"Did she already lose her mind?"
Athasia ignored them and was about to approach the vending machine when she heard another word—
"I saw her ride the taxi this morning. Could it be that her father already banished her from her family?"
"Isn't it good for her? After all, her mother was chasing the chairman for money,"
Athasia retracted her fingers from the machine. A mischievous smile curled her lips as she walked towards the janitors, gossipping about her.
She stood in front of them, then put her hands on her waist. "If you want to know more about me, just approach me from behind," she winked. "And I will tell you everything,"
As her ash brown hair fluttered with the wind, the two janitors became embarrassed. They watched her back slowly vanishing in front of them before looking at each other.
'She's scary~'
