Little Star

Chapter Eighteen

Guess who she is! (but with red eyes cause, like, it's hard to find the exact stuff you want on the Internet when you're not good at art)

Now, a little warning for you all: If you haven't read Noblesse completely yet, then stop reading this story right here. You won't miss much, cause there's only two more chapters after this, but you'll get major spoilers. Like, MAJOR spoilers. So unless you've finished reading Noblesse or have already got spoilers or are prepared to get spoilers, don't read any further.

Aramina's POV

I stared at Mae, then at the man lying all the way on the other end of the bus, and then at the rest of my classmates who backed away the minute I looked at them; my jaw hanging.

"Guys."

I started slowly, my voice slowly beginning to quiver when I noticed how the fear in their eyes was only growing.

"I-I didn't-"

"You're a monster!"

A boy suddenly yelled and I stepped back, stunned by what he'd said. Monster? But I didn't even know what I'd just done now or if I was the one who'd actually done it! What if there was some other force outside the bus that helped us right when we needed to?

"That's not pwossible!"

Another one of my classmates shrieked at me when I said my thoughts out loud and their glares at me were no longer fearful but rather, those glares were reeking of hatred and disgust.

"Stay away from us!"

"You killed Mr. Kim!"

"I told you there was someing wrong about her eyes! They're actually the colour of blood!"

"That's why my mommy always tells me to stway away from you!"

"Everybody, enough!"

Mae abruptly yelled behind me as she quickly rose to her feet and came forward to stand in front of me, glaring back at everyone with twice as much as the hatred they had directed at me and they all instantly fell silent.

"Yes, Aramina killed Mr. Kim."

But I didn't! And I badly wanted to correct Mae about what she'd just said, but decided to keep mum lest I triggered my classmates to start yelling at me again.

"But Mr. Kim twried to kill us first!"

Mae continued confidently.

"Had it not been for whatever Aramina did right now, he would've killed all of us one by one! Show some appeciation for your saviour!"

That seemed to silence everyone even more than they were already silent and a few of them, especially the ones who had stayed quiet when all those false accusations were being thrown at me, glanced at me with guilt and regret in their eyes. However, most of the kids still looked like they wanted to hit me. Special emphasis on the Five Fools who had always been disdainful of my unconventional eye colour since the minute we met. Before any of us could say anything though, the door to the bus was literally torn away and Ishii oppa just came barging in out of nowhere.

"Is everybody okay?"

He demanded, fully ignoring the two fallen adults on the bus as he scanned his eyes all over the children on the bus and allowed his gaze to linger on me a little longer. I passed him a small smile to ensure him that I was alright. But right as I was about to approach him, all the Five Fools along with several of their lackeys went running to him with obviously fake tears running down their cheeks while once more starting to scream about how I was a monster.
