Childish? How dare you.

Chapter nine

*☃️*

Lesso woke up with Nina on top of her, with her arms wrapped tightly around the woman and one hand in her soft hair.
She slowly removed her grip on the woman, but she had already awoken.
" hey!" Nina smiled at lesso, who was slowly starting to remember things.
" we almost had sex-"
" we didn't."
" we kissed-" lesso's eyes widened as she pushed Nina off of her, Nina watching her with pain in her eyes.
" yes but we were both tipsy and you said I could kiss you, I don't-"
" I don't like you Nina!" Lesso frustratingly yelled, thank god for soundproof walls, shooting up and waving her hand so she would be dressed.
" lesso." Nina stopped her, standing up and slowly walking in front of her.
She stared into lesso's eyes, tears brimming in her own.
" I'm sorry I have to do this again..." lesso's eyes widened as Nina brought her hand to her forehead, then pulled it away.

" Nina, why are you touching my forehead and why did you trap me again?"

*☃️*

Dovey saw lesso leave Nina's room, so she grasped the opportunity to annoy her.
" I see you've finally gotten together with Nina...?" She suggestively poked lesso's shoulder, grinning happily.
" we're not together." Lesso thought back to Nina in her bathrobe, her thoughts slowly turning too explicit for dovey so she shut them off.
" yet." Dovey smiled before they both walked into the hall, walking to their table and sitting down in front of their food.
" dovey, you know I'm right, just say we won't get together and stop this nonsense." Dovey laughed lesso's comment away, both deans looking to the doors when a group of never's crowded around someone.
" what are those idiots doing." Lesso groaned, standing up to take a better look, only to realize it was the witch coven and hort surrounding Nina.
She had changed out of the shirt, now in one of her simple light trousers, with a white blouse.
" it's the witch coven with their pet." She rolled her eyes, falling back into her chair with a sigh.
" and Nina." Dovey squealed, waving Nina over.
The woman approached them with her group of children, sitting down with hort excitedly telling her about how he fell down the stairs, again.
Hester eyes lesso, who rose an eyebrow at her.
" what?" The witch stood straighter when lesso addressed her, dovey trying to get a word in between hort's.
" nothing lady lesso." Nina looked up at Hester, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear that had fallen into her face.
Hester gave her an appreciative nod, then started talking with her coven as they searched for a table.
When hort didn't follow, they whistles in unison to get his attention.
He said his goodbyes to his new 'mom' and scurried over.
" I swear that boy will end up dead soon." Nina grabbed a piece of bread and took a bite out of it.
" how did you guys sleep?" Dovey asked 'innocently', glancing at lesso.
" why is that any of your concern?" Lesso shot back in annoyance, Nina staring down at her empty plate in thought.
" Nina?" Dovey tried getting her back, eventually snapping her fingers in front of her face.
" I slept good Clare, you?" She smiled back at the fairy, who send a look to lesso that said 'at least she's nice to me', before responding.
" I slept wonderfully." She took sip of her water, Nina taking a gulp of her own 'water'.
Lesso glanced down at her coffee, then at Nina's glass of 'water', then snatched it out of her hands when she remembered the woman was an alcoholic.
She took a small sip, containing her reaction to the burning sensation going through her throat, then placed the glass next to her coffee.
Nina send her a glare, then stood up.
" I need to go make preparations for my class, till lunch Clare." She smiled, then turned around as she continued eating from the bread.
She waved when she exited, dovey waving back.

" how was your night with lady Nina." Hort teased, Hester elbowing him in the stomach.
Lesso looked at them for a minute before answering.
" good, now, why so curious?" Hester was too late to slap her hand over hort's mouth, the boy ruining Nina's perfectly 'kept' secret.
" well, she has this big crush on you-" Hester muffled his words, but the damage had already been done.
Lesso kept her posture as inside she was absolutely baffled, outside simply raising an eyebrow.
" she has a what on me?" She asked for affirmation, and of course, when hort decides he's making a dumb comment, dot will be soon to follow.
" she has a big lesbian crush on you, it's pretty obvious." She shrugged at the glared she got from her coven, hort pointing at her.
He licked Hester's hand, which the girl retracted with a grimace.
" ick!" She stepped back, lesso still contemplating her reaction.

" since when did she-" hort cut her off, the poor boy still having no sense when to stop whatsoever.
" since we came here, and I heard seniors say it's almost depressing how long she has been pining after you, I mean, those guys have been here for what? Five years?" He looks at Hester for affirmation, the girl only glaring at him.
" five years.... Mh." Lesso hummed, sitting down on her desk.
Just as they were talking about it, Nina walked in with small boxes piled into her arms.
" bad timing?" She tilted her head at the group, lesso's head shooting up at the sound of her voice.
" um- no?" She awkwardly spoke, Hester sending her a 'man up' look, which she returned with a glare.
" m'kay." Nina walked over, placing the boxes carefully on top of lesso's desk.
She started opening drawers in the desk, placing a box in them, then tying a thread onto it andclosing the drawer, only leaving the nearly invisible thread hanging out.
The never's silently watched her, the woman connecting the threads and making a maze with them between the other desks.
When the woman was about to place a huge box in the middle of the classroom, all the threads connecting to it, lesso stopped her.
" we don't want the entire castle covered." She commented, Nina glaring at her over her shoulder and holding up the thread that connected all of them threateningly.
Lesso backed away, the coven fleeing the room with hort in tow.

" I heard from a little bird that you have a crush on me?"
