Paradise Is Here

Fight The Whole World (Lady Lesso V)

☂︎

A day or two has passed since the incident with Ilaria, Lesso and the Ever girls, and everything seems to be back to normal. Ilaria tries to avoid the Ever girls who fought with her.

Lady Lesso on the other hand, hasn't seen Ilaria since that night. That might be due to the fact that she teaches in the School for Evil. However, Lady Lesso has been assigned to patrol the cafeteria for any fights between the Evers and Nevers.

She finds it odd that she hasn't seen Ilaria eating in the cafeteria. Lesso had seen a glimpse of the girl, but a few blinks later, she's gone. It was like she was a ghost. "Lesso, can I speak with you for a moment?" Professor Dovey whispered to Lady Lesso who was on duty, looking after the students in the cafeteria.

Lesso huffed and agreed, the two went to a dark corner where no one could see them. "So what is this all about?"

"Have you seen Ilaria? I haven't seen her eating in the cafeteria for quite some time." Dovey explained.

"Is she my student, Clarissa?"

Dovey rolled her eyes at Lesso's question, "Oh, don't be like that." She grumbled.

"But is she my student?" The question was repeated again.

"No..."

"There, since she isn't my student nor my problem, then I guess my job here is done. Now, if you'll exc-" Lesso was about to walk away when Dovey grabbed her by the arm. The Dean of Evil frowned when she felt how firm the grip was and looked back at the Professor.

"Listen, Leonora, I know she isn't your student, but we are the Professors and it is our duty to look after the safety of every student here. Good or Evil. And I'm afraid that she might've gotten herself in some kind of trouble that she can't get out of." The Professor of Good stated firmly and clear yet still showing a sign that she worried about the girl.

Lady Lesso tried not to smirk as this was the moment she was waiting for, her chance to get to know more about this mysterious girl she has been so curious about.

Bingo! Looks like my patients really paid off.

"Urg, fine. I'll go look for her after my duty." Dovey smiled and lets go of Lesso.

"Thank you." After that, Dovey left and Lesso went back to her patrol.Once, Lesso's patrol was over it was Professor Anemone's turn. Lady Lesso just ate a sandwich for her lunch and got on to finding where Ilaria is.

~~~

"Oh, where the hell is that girl?" Lesso was starting to complain and getting frustrated. She feels like she had searched the whole premises of the school and still no sign of Ilaria. She looked at her pocket watched and grunted, "Damn it, it's already been a fucking hour."

At this point, she came to the conclusion that Ilaria might've already been in the school, waiting for her next lesson. As Lesso was retracing her footsteps, at the corner of her eyes that was when she saw Ilaria, sitting at the edge of the Wish Fish pond under a tree.

The Dean of Evil stared at the woman for a moment or so, she watched as Ilaria grazed her hand, ever so gracefully on the surface of the water  while there were the Wish Fish under her hand. Lesso pulled away from gazing and began making her way to where Ilaria was.

"So this is where you've been." Ilaria flinched a little, turned to Lady Lesso for a second and then back to the pond.

"Would there be any problem?" Ilaria asked and the older woman smirked at her slight feistiness.

"No, although I was sent to look for you by Clarissa, she was concerned that she couldn't spot you in the cafeteria with the others."

"I assumed Clarissa is Professor Dovey and secondly, I don't like eating and sitting with the others."
