"f/n" - friend name: lesso's childhood friend

----

"hey, leo" f/n said as she opened the door to lesso's room. Lesso was doing her work in her room, she couldn't be bothered to do it in her office.

"don't call me that" Lesso snarled, "you know you aren't allowed to call me that" as she death stared at her. F/N just chuckled nervously, "sorry, lesso"

"hmph" Lesso looked annoyed, "what do you want?" she just wanted to get f/n out of her sight. She wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, "well?" as she raised an eyebrow.

F/N didn't say anything and that kinda riled Lesso up. Lesso banged her table as she stood up, "what do you want, f/n!" she turned her body to face f/n but her angry face dropped when she saw f/n's worried face, "what's wrong?"

"Lesso, haven't you realised yet?" f/n looked like she was about to break.

"realised what?" Lesso never really cared about other people feelings as expected of the dean for the school of evil, "tell me" Lesso demanded.

"god, im fucking stupid" f/n scratched the back of her neck as she sat at the edge of lesso's bed, "stop acting dumb. I'm begging you, leonora"

Lesso didn't say anything but to just stand still. F/N continued, "do i need to say it out for you?" She then stood up and walked towards lesso but lesso stopped her with her cane, "stop"

"how do i stop, leonora? Tell me. How do i stop this beating heart of mine? How do i stop these feelings I have for you? I'm in love with you, leonora lesso"

Lesso pushed her off with her cane, "don't- don't say that" lesso's voice was soft.

"why? why can't i say that?"

"you know im engaged"

F/N sighed, "Lesso... it's been 5 years. She's gone"

"she's still my fiance"

"it's time for you to let go, lesso. I can treat you the way she did"

"..."

"I'm telling you, lesso, she's gone"

Lesso saw that you were laying on the ground, bleeding. She ran to you, "no! no! stay with me!"

You were trying your best to breathe,
"leo..."

Lesso spoke as tears fell down like waterfall, "i need you to stay with me, please! I can't have you leave me. i need you... "

"I'll forever love you, leonara lesso. Till heaven reunites us again..."

"don't do this to me please.... "

You took your last breathe and lesso screamed, "NO!!!" she brought your lifeless body close to her, not wanting to let you go. When clarissa came, it was hard to have lesso let go of you. Lesso's grip on you was very strong.

"even so, we haven't broken up yet"

"Lesso, i have been helping you move on from her. I have been there for you since day 1. We were childhood friends, leonora. Do you still remember? We came to this school together as readers. You fell in love with Rafal and you became the dean of evil for him. I stayed with you. I even stayed to help you move on from him. I love you, leonora. I've always been in love with you"

"f/n-"

"I'll keep helping you to move on from her but im telling you, leonora, my feelings for you are true-"
