[Discontinued*] The Darling Princess [A Twisted Wonderland Fanfic]

🐙 Chapter 82

"Stop right there, Grim! I'm not gonna let this slide today of all days," Ace yelled, charging at Grim, who seemed to be taunting him. 

"Ha ha, sucker! You should write your name on it!"

"Why you!"

Y/N and Yuu walked up to Deuce who was leaning on the wall, waiting for the two to stop fighting, though it didn't seem like that would happen any time soon. 

"What happened this time," Yuu asked.

Deuce shrugged. "They'll never give it a rest, will they?"

"Doesn't seem like it," Y/N said.

Ace suddenly seemed to notice that Yuu was in the vicinity and turned on him. "Ah! Prefect!  If you're really a prefect then you have to properly watch your residents!" He pointed an accusatory finger at Grim, who was smirking with mischievous intent. "This jerk went and stole the bread I had set aside for a snack again!"

"It's rude to say that I stole it. I just happened to eat it after it fell on your desk," Grim argued. 

"You don't say things 'fell on' someone's desk when it was purposely set there, you know!"

"Oh my goodness," Y/N sighed. "They're arguing about food again? How old are they, five?"

"Running away like the thief you are," Ace growled. "I'll show you with my wind magic..." Ace suddenly stopped his hand halfway to his pen, which was tucked into his pocket. 

"Oh, you wanna go? I'll hit right back with my fire magic..."

The two suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned pale. Y/N quirked an eyebrow at their odd behaviour. 

"You know what... let's knock it off with the magic. It would be a huge pain to have to clean the windows again as punishment."

"Heh heh. You say smart things every once in a while. It'd be pretty immature for me to be the only one using magic, so I'll let you off the hook this time." 

"Well, I would look foolish if I was throwing hands over bread with a raccoon."

The two started walking off and Y/N turned to the two boys standing next to her. 

"I'm not the only one who just saw that, right?"

Both Ace and Deuce shook their heads, for they too had seen the odd behaviour of the Heartslabyul resident and the Ramshackle resident. 

"It's rare for those two to stop on their own," Deuce said, watching as the two walked off, ignorant to the fact that their friends were standing in shocked silence at the other end of the hall. "Usually it takes the headmaster jumping in after they've burned the classroom black to end their fights."

"You really don't know when to shut up!" 

"Well, apparently they haven't stopped arguing entirely," Y/N muttered. "Should we go make sure that our friends don't kill each other on their way to the results?"

Yuu, Deuce, and Y/N shot off down the hall, carefully avoiding the other students that wandered around.

 . . .

"Time to start class, puppies. Sit like good little pups. First up, I'll return your tests." Crewel opened his desk drawer and pulled out a stack of papers, setting them down on the desk. Y/N stared at the stack and felt a lump form in her throat. She hoped that she had done well enough to avoid having to take extra classes over the upcoming break, but she had absolutely no clue. 

"It's finally time," Deuce whispered next to Y/N. He seemed nervous, despite the excitement and confidence that he had displayed immediately after taking the test.
