Chapter 1
Lily Smith sighed as she closed her locker, the noisy hallway swarmed with people started to dwindle as they headed towards their respective classrooms, unbothered by the irregularity that was named Lily.
She stayed still on the corner, waiting for everyone to leave. After making sure that everyone had left, she looked around and heaved a large sigh as she slowly walked towards the lockers of section C class 1 students.
She carefully looked through every name, her heart beating loudly as her back sweated in fear, her hands becoming moist and trembling as she clutched the envelope she was holding. Her eyes stopped wandering around when she saw a plate card with a familiar name;
『 T. L. Santiago 』
It's the name of her crush, Teresita Lopez Santiago, captain of the gymnastics team.
Clutching the envelope in her hand, inside sealed the love letter she had written countless times for the past 2 years but was never delivered to the person she had written it for, she smiled fondly, looking at the sealed envelope one last time, feeling content, as she slipped it inside the locker.
Unfortunately, fate seems to laugh at her while her luck had long since run away.
"What are you doing?" Lily heard a calm voice asking her as she turned around and saw the most gorgeous woman with long slightly curled golden coloured hair, her deep blue eyes looking at her with a calm expression on her face but her eyes looked quite sharp and cold.
Looking at Lily as if she's not but a human but a being beyond that, someone who didn't deserve her presence.
The woman stands tall and while Lily may be taller than average for her age, this woman is taller than her by a few, no, more inches more. Lily tried to hide the envelope that she failed to insert inside the locker due to being startled by this woman standing in front of her but it fell on the ground due to her hands shaking in fear.
She was caught.
Lily tried to pick it up as she bent over, her hands shaking in fear and her vision becoming blurry as her heart palpitated like crazy. But, it was too late as it gotsnatched by the woman that made Lily squeal. She slowly looked up, afraid of what this woman might do to her, and saw that the woman was scrutinizing it.
"isn't this quite interesting?" The woman commented with a smile sweetly yet coldly as Lily shrieked and avoided her gaze, shaking in fear. "Is this a death threat?" She asked Lily who looked at her in horror and shook her head vigorously.
"N-no!" Lily replied, almost like a shout as her mind was overcome with panic, the woman looked at her and sneered.
"You're a bold one, huh?" The woman remarked as she paused. "Shouting in the middle of the hallway— Aren't you afraid that people would hear you and see us?" She asked with a cold look on her face, her voice which was calm and soft felt more like a cold warning to her that made Lily lose the strength of her legs as she fell on the ground, whimpering like a dog.
She made an utter fool of herself and now she's caught with nowhere to run.
Lily mustered up every strength inside her body as she bowed on the ground, her face hitting the cold hard floor.
"I-I'm sorry! P-please forgive me!" Lily begged, she didn't expect that someone would catch her sneaking away like this when she planned this out for months.
She's afraid that if a freak like her we're caught… Lily trembled thinking of the consequences as she slowly teared up. She never wants to go through that again.
"I-i'll do anything s-so, please, forget this happened!" Lily once again pleaded, the desperation in her voice made the woman smirked.
"You'll do anything?" She asked as Lily nodded her head vigorously, willing to bet everything she has, no matter what it takes.
"Yes! Anything!" She replied as the woman knelt down on her one knee on the ground and held her chin up. She had a grim smile on her face that despite the innocence and beauty this woman possessed, she looked quite scary and intimidating.
"Anything, huh?" The woman paused as she looked deep into Lily's eyes and opened her mouth. "Even if you were to sell your dignity, would you still agree?" She asked, her eyes glistening with an emotion that Lily can't comprehend but, nonetheless, the look in her eyes scares Lily.
"Yes!" Lily replied after a brief second, she didn't know what would be the order this woman would demand but she's sure it's better than being branded as a creep by everyone, especially her crush.
The woman smirked, she drew her face closer to Lily that shocked Lily as she closed her eyes and brace for impact but after a few seconds, she couldn't feel anything so she opened her eyes and met with the feel blue eyes, much like crystals that were as pristine as the vast blue sea, who looked at her coldly.
"Good, then, from now on, you'll be my dog." The woman declared, her sweet smile made Lily jolt up in fear.
*****
Lily observed the woman, who had introduced herself as Emilia Rose, who was sitting opposite to her quietly around the table that was found near the school entrance leading up to the hallway where they first met.
The woman had a dignified and unbothered expression on her face as she glanced at Lily who had been punching holes on her face with her stare tremblingly.
"Is there something wrong with my face?" Emilia Rose asked with a sly smirk. Lily's eyes widened and her cheeks turned red as she blushed and shook her head.
This woman is dangerous.
Emilia Rose, an 18 year old 2nd year Section A class 1 student and Lily's junior. And, as fate seems to be making fun of Lily, she's also Teresita's, Lily's crush, best friend.
Emilia was known to the public as a cold beauty, much like her name, she's regarded as untainted Rose. Her beauty attracted everyone with her allure but her thorns made her unreachable, just like the cold front she put to outsiders.
Lily wondered why this woman even took interest in her and made her… her dog. She couldn't think of any possible reasons as to why this woman would even make such a request considering her reputation.
'Was she perhaps, much like me?' Lily immediately shook off her thoughts upon realizing it. 'No, it's impossible for someone like her to be a freak like me…'
"S-shouldn't you… be at class?" Lily asked in a low tone of voice as Emilia looked at her coldly and sneered.
"Is that something I should be hearing from someone who skipped her class just to put a love letter in someone else's locker?" Emilia asked in a mocking tone as Lily's body shook, her eyes seemed to welled up with embarrassment as she lowered her head.
Emilia couldn't help but laugh at Lily, she normally wouldn't even do something like this but, the way she saw Lily begged helplessly on the ground over something ludicrous made something inside her switch.
She looked at Lily with an amused smirk as she rested her chin over her palm that's standing on top of the table. She can't wait to see how much fun Lily would bring in her life.
'How exciting.' Emilia thought with a smile.
