" You seem lost in thought. Would you mind sharing it with me? ".
The voice she would never have expected came to her ears. And so princess unlikely of her, she stomped her feet on the ground, alerting everyone around her. Emma who was but a feet away from where she stood, turned abruptly, surprised at the energy that a girl like her will have.
' Stay away from me and never come near '. She blurted, taking her steps away from there and out of the hallway.
Dawin stood, glued to the spot, totally shocked at the event that unfolded before her. Of her seeming princess stand, he never had expected such actions from her. Would he say that she has changed according to her environment? Or that the situation around her changed her?.
Emma could only offer a smile when he saw what Diva did. She was not fragile as she looked. Pretty interesting.
And then Dawin saw him striding from where he was. He clenched his jaws, on seeing the smirk that played on Emma's face. Diva had embarrassed him in front of his arch-enemy. He heard him burst into a peal of loud laughter at the end of the hallway and not for the bag that he wore at his back, he would have flung it at him.
' I perceive you are a coward '. He murmured to himself and squatted to tighten his shoe buckle. Raising, he adjusted his uniform and looked up to continue walking, but at the door, he saw Emma glaring at him.
' And I perceive you are a fool for saying that '. He said and left the hallway, slamming the door closed behind him.
Dawin stood, bulging his eyes out in shock. The words he had spoken were little to no audibility but yet the buzz hair cut boy found it loud and challenging. He looked further in bewilderment and confusion. Something fishy happened, he suspected, but sighed it away and walked out from there.

Diva sat in the car, her eyes exhausted, and when she did sigh, it was a long one. She caressed her brows and threw her head back on the seat.
Watching this from the rear mirror, Mr. Edward felt worried for the young madam. Seeing her tired and tad angry, made him feel concerned and only question what had happened today.
' He thinks he would misbehave and get me involved in things not of my business and expect that he could just walk back to me at any time and I will accept him with open arms. He must be dreaming, because he cannot be pardoned. He would pay dearly for it '. He heard her remarks of rage.
The butler felt tongue-tied as he waited for her to say something else and calm down.
' Miss Diva. Can I ask what the matter may be? '. He inquired.
Diva noticed that she had been acting all up and restless and her butler from the front of the car was looking at her. ' I am fine. Pls, don't let me worry you. How was your day? '.
' My day was lovely ma'am. But you don't look like yours went well. Would you mind telling me how it went? '. His eyes lingered on her from the rear mirror.
Diva couldn't believe her ears when she heard his voice of concern. She would on a normal, shun the servants or staff that tired nose poking at her matters. But his voice, those words that showed that he cared, marveled her and made her speak. ' Just some friends' quarrel but don't worry I am fine '.
' And is it Mister Dawin if I may ask? '. When she thought he would understand she wanted the conversation to end and drive them home. He spoke again.
