As soon as she pushed the door, the first thing she smelled was the minty scent of salonpas. Shoes creaking onto the smooth and shiny floor. Students doing laps, playing with balls, and chatting with each other.
Athasia wiped the edge of her P.E shoes on the mat before finally walking inside. That crowded small pathway cleared up when her line of vision went straight to the girl standing beside her two classmates.
Olivia's curly brown hair swayed as she lifted it up to make a bun. She wiped the sweats on her forehead, and it made her look stunning.
'What a beautiful two-faced devil' Athasia thought upon remembering the character she made for Olivia.
Olivia was a sweet girl in front of her only crush. She did everything to get Maximilian's attention. But when she's with her friends, her evil side is very obvious.
Athasia paused, grinning with the bottle of coke in her hands. She walked forward.
Olivia then turned her head around, like she's looking for someone. Probably Callie, her errand girl. After scanning everyone who entered the gym, she frowned. She's very disappointed that her errand girl didn't make it quick.
Olivia just finished playing volleyball, and she's exhausted that she's going to gulp anything in one go.
"Hi, Princess!" Athasia tapped the cold coke on the girl's cheeks, which immediately turned pinkish. She made a wide smile. Just like an innocent errand girl serving her master.
Olivia jolted. She distanced herself and scanned Athasia from head to toe. She smiled, a fake one. "H-Hi? Do you need anything?" her sweet voice was cold.
Even if she wanted to roll her eyes, she held back. Why? Because this is Athasia. Maximilian's childhood friend.
She needed to, at least, make a good impression.
"The teacher suddenly called Callie, so I will be your errand girl for now,"
Athasia waved her hands and smiled back. "You are so good at playing volleyball," she leaned closer, making her eyes down to the girl's collar. "It seems like you are very tired."
Olivia immediately sprang back, getting embarrassed by the sudden closure. 'That brat!' she cursed Callie in her mind.
'What am I gonna do if she told Max about this?' Olivia panicked. They're not even close, so that sudden gesture almost creeped her out.
Athasia showed her the bottle of cold coke. She showed it like a mother surprising her child. "Don't worry, I brought you a drink,"
Olivia flinched with her blinking surprised eyes. "T-Thanks.." However, when she was about to get the bottle of coke from Athasia's hand, the girl pulled it back.
"Let me open it for you, Princess…" Athasia twisted the lid and grabbed the girl's hand, giving him the bottle of coke. "Here you go, drink to your heart's content,"
Dumbfounded, Olivia was left there with the drink in her hand. She looked at it for a while and rolled her eyes to the girl's back, walking away from her distance.
"Is she doing this because she wanted to befriend me for Max's attention?" she clicked her tongue. "Whatever,"
But as soon as she lifted the lid, the bubbles formed from the bottom of the bottle and it splashed straight to her face, finding out the white mentos inside.
Olivia gasped and screamed upon feeling the cold pressure of the light brown liquid splattered all over her.
"Olivia! What happened? Geez!! You got it all over your face." Her closest friend immediately handed her a clean white towel.
Everyone looked in their direction and everybody witnessed that distorted expression from their school princess' face.
Some giggled to themselves and some were surprised.
Embarrassed and angry, Olivia grabbed the towel and walked out of the gym.
Meanwhile, Athasia walked away with a mischievous smile on her face, amused by what just happened.
'I'm loving the role of an errand girl,' she thought.
She made a turn back to her class, and on the bench, she saw Callie. As usual, with her down eyes thinking deep.
"Hey," Athasia sat beside her. "Am I late? Oh my.." she rubbed her face in dismay.
"Our P.E instructor let us take a break for a while," Callie answered, still looking down. Her cheeks blushed, and she compressed herself more. Too shy to talk to anyone.
The girl beside her chuckled, "Is that so?" Athasia took out something from her pocket and gave it to Callie, "Here…your wallet,"
Surprised, Callie's eyes widened. Her trembling hands reached for it. "T-Thank…" she stammered. "Thank you…for h-helping me," she added.
"Don't mention it," Athasia snorted. "I had fun doing that errand girl thing…" she held her stomach and curled, laughing. "D-Did y-you saw her f-face? PWA HA HA HA!"
Callie got surprised. "Saw what?"
Athasia laughed again, "Oh my! This is so fun..HA HA HA!" She tapped the girl's shoulders. "Olivia, I put mentos on her coke and it splashed all over her face.."
That distorted expression from the school princess played back in her thoughts again, like a picture stored into a camera, ultra HD.
With her mouth half opened, Callie exclaimed. "You did it?!"
Athasia tilted her head to the side, putting her index finger on her lips. "..Shhh…" then she winked. "It's our secret,"
It shut Callie. She didn't know, but another side of her, jolted. It made her excited and moved at the same time. She put her hand on her chest, feeling her throbbing heart.
No one ever did it to her. She's always keeping everything to herself with no help from anyone..
She's feeling like she has now found someone she can rely on a little.
Unconsciously, a smile formed on her lips. "Thank you, Athasia!"
And just like that, Athasia was also stunned. Callie was a timid character from her novel., and she's not expecting to see her smile this soon.
'Soooo cute!'
Making a new circle of friends and leaving the traitors behind. Littleyoonie as Athasia, achieved another success. Avenging the meek errand girl and befriending her. She couldn't help but be proud of herself.
By putting the right people beside her female lead, this story's plot will change.
Athasia sprang from her spot, wrapping her arms around Callie's shoulders. "Hey, Callie! Want to be my friend?" she asked.
Hearing that question, Callie blushed. "S-Sure!"
