White Rose (rewriting)

21

Started writing this immediately after i finished chapter 20 😏 i'm so productive 😩

——

"Fuck I'm already so late," I mutter while swinging the door open.

I'm immediately greeted by the sight of 'Yui' or whatever her name is at Daniel's desk. I don't think much of it, and I head to my desk. I check my phone and take a nap.

I woke up in an empty classroom.

"Yoooo wtf?"

My heart rate increases and a drop of sweat forms on my brow. I wipe it and stand up. I check the time.

"Oh. No wonder there's nobody here, it's lunch time already," I reason with myself, out loud for some reason. I walk briskly into the cafeteria and grab something to eat.

I scan the area for somewhere to sit, but everyone looks preoccupied. I settle with sitting alone today. The bell that signals lunch's ending resonates throughout the cafeteria, so I leave to beauty department.

'I should do my best to gather information today...'

I arrive in class particularly early without having anyone to distract me, not gonna lie, it's kinda lonely.

I sit in the mostly empty classroom. Only two or three people arrived before me. The bell rings again, and more students make their way into the classroom, including Eli.

The teacher follows shortly after. He gives instructions, blah blah something about group work.

'Great...'

He wants the class to be in groups of three, but he also says since the numbers don't work too well, there's gonna be a group of two.

He reads off a list of pre-picked groups.

"Mina, Alice, and Chloe"

"Aria, Dawn, and Yuna"

...

He's listed quite a few names already, but I'm yet to be mentioned.

...

"The last two are (Y/N) and Eli. Sorry that you can't have a regular sized group. Just do your best," the teacher says before waltzing out of the class like teaching isn't his job.

I swear every girl in the room sent me a glare.

'Just my luck!'

I almost smile. Gathering info is gonna be so easy.

I get out of my seat and approach the boy.

"I'm assuming you're Eli? I'm (Y/N). Let's work hard!" I beam.

"Yes, let's," He returns my smile.

'...this is gonna be a pain in the ass, isn't it?'

"You look stressed, are you alright, (Y/N)?" The boy asks, blissfully unaware.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. I just remembered an assignment I've been procrastinating on."

A bead of sweat forms on my brow.

From that point for a solid minute or maybe five, there was a mild tension in the air due to the awkward silence. Or maybe I was imagining it, he looks completely unaffected.

"So, should we get to work?" He asks with yet another smile.

"Yeah, I guess."

'Don't trust it, (Y/N). If he's wanted by all four of the major crews, he's up to no good.'

I put away my thoughts and begin trimming the wig placed on the mannequin in front of the two of us. The assignment is to make a look based off a certain aesthetic. We received the theme 'cottagecore'. We chose a blond wig with slight curls for the hairstyle. I gave it some curtain bangs and tied a handkerchief onto it.

"Wow, that was better than I expected," I say to myself.

The bell rings shortly after that, and I'm home momentarily as well.

'Hmm...streaming is a big deal these days, isn't it? I heard Yui is a top earner...'

I mindlessly open my web browser and type paprika tv. I scroll through the site and see what's going on.

'Oh. Zoe's live. That's cool....I wonder, should I go live too?'

I sign up and start a stream. 'My first stream ~♡'

To my surprise, a few people actually join.

"Hi everyone! I'm (Y/N)! This is my first stream~" I give a closed eyed smile. "Ask me questions!"

A few balloons pop up on screen.

"Huh? What do the balloons mean?"

A few people comment.

"Wow, it really is your first stream hahaha"

"Balloons can be exchanged for currency once you reach a certain amount"

"She's so fucking pretty 🤩"

"How old are you?"

"I'm 17~ why do you ask?"

More balloons pop up on my screen.

"Thanks for the balloons, everyone! I had a good time, maybe I'll do this more often~ Bye bye!"

I end the stream.

1,000 balloons received

'Oh? I'm surprised that payed off.'

With all that done and said, I write my daily report to give to mother and drift off into a deep sleep.
