I looked into her eyes. My god this woman would have brought me to ruin sooner or later, I will never tire of saying it. "Listen, I think we should clarify just two things" I said without waiting longer than necessary. "Mmh" looked away, as if she found a book on the opposite shelf interesting. I put the book on the shelf and turned to look at her, there were a lot of things to talk about and yet nobody said anything. There was much to discuss and yet an immense silence covered the room.

"I don't think we can continue like t-this" "This thing that happened c-can not be r-repeated" a moment. Was I stuttering? How pathetic, I thought I could hold on. Another pretty stupid thing I was doing in the meantime was looking everywhere except her. But that wasn't the problem because as soon as I stopped talking she burst out laughing.

"You don't seem very convinced, princess" she said with a grin.

"I am very convinced trust me" I replied, this time she managed to keep a firm tone.

"Then pull back"

She didn't even have time to say that I found her so close that her hair almost touched me. Fuck, I don't think I can move from there.

"You don't understand w-"

Needless to say, I couldn't finish the sentence that his lips became one with mine.

"Have you ever been told you talk too much?" she said later, still in the same position. We kept looking at each other.

"Actually no" "Have you ever been told that you listen too little?" it was true she had not even made me finish the sentence before.

"Never" she replied coldly.

After some silence. Nothing had changed, the usual silence, the usual looks.

"You're not bad for being the daughter of a villain"

"Is it a compliment or an insult?"

"Free interpretation" "Wait a minute, aren't you late princess?" in the last sentence hinted at an amused smile.

"For what?" I frowned, I wasn't understanding much. I understand that mystery surrounds this woman, but I really can't understand her at all sometimes.

"For your first lesson"

"What?!" I was furious, if it really was as I thought ... She had dug her own grave.

She slipped a hand into his pocket and handed me a piece of paper, it was the time of my lessons at the school of evil. Obviously perfectly fitted with that of the other school.

"Are you serious? What does that mean? Why did you bring me here? To complicate things?!" The front door is on the opposite side of the front door. It would take me a lifetime to get to the other school. I could not be late, then for no valid reason. Just because she enjoyed messing me up didn't mean she had to do it all the time.

She did not answer my questions, she remained indifferent as always.

"My god how much I hate you" I said in an almost whispered way of speaking in another context I would have shouted at her.

"Oh I don't think so" she replied with another smiling grin in her face.

I walked away from her. I snorted as I glanced at her and turned to reach the exit, my footsteps echoing everywhere.

"Judging by what happened this morning, I don't think so, princess!" she raised her voice a little so I could make sure I heard her. Although I probably would have felt it anyway. There was no one in the library at that time, not even nearby.

I walked out of the library slamming the door so she could hear well. It got on my nerves but at the same time it was so inviting. It makes me feel so confused, I absolutely have to clear my head. But first I have to run to class.

I arrived very late, in fact the class was in turmoil. I tried to calm them down even though being first-year students it was quite simple, they are easily influenced.

Contrary to what Clarissa said, they were boys and girls like the others, certainly with different thoughts and opinions but always the same teenagers who try to grow in their own way.

Actually I found them very nice and lively, they do not waste a second to tease each other and above all they love to ask me questions. Unfortunately of any kind.

"Are you really a princess who teaches even the bad guys how they say?" said one from one of the benches at the bottom, drawing the attention of everyone else.

"Yes, even if I'm less "princess" than you think"

"Are you sure you're not evil?" they slowly began to come forward each with their own questions.

"We're all a little good or evil in the end"

In the end I was able to dismantle every question they asked me... almost.

"Do you have a prince?"

"What? No I don't have it, I don't need it for now"

"Why?"

"Why don't we stop with the questions"

It was a pretty normal lesson in the end, they didn't even try to kill me. Except that while I was explaining some of the basics that the next lesson the boys would have to put into practice, I noticed a necklace on the neck of one of my girls. Oh my god that necklace was really beautiful. It had a kind of rectangular red ruby placed on a silver pendant. It looked like something... something that didn't come to mind right away. As soon as I realized it I almost fainted.

The bottle. I had completely forgotten about it.

I tried to finish the lesson fast enough to run as fast as I could to my room.

How could I forget the one thing my life depends on. The thing I promised to protect at all costs, the last thing I have left of my father. I was able to forget about it for so long that in my head its existence was completely erased, because something else had taken its place.

Billions of thoughts invaded my head, a mix of thoughts. From the darkest to the most stupid. What if from the beginning she had concocted all this to steal my bottle? What if she just used me? How can I continue like this? I don't even recognize myself anymore for the things that come to mind during the bridge ride, but fortunately I arrive at the destination.

I close the door, undress and put my hand where I hold the bottle as quickly as possible. I'm cold-blooded.

To my great relief it is where I had always kept it. I can't believe it, I almost don't believe my eyes. I realize that I have a very distorted view of the world than it really is. After weighing a nice sleep of relief I decide to go out for a walk, my working day is over so I think I deserved a nice break.

I go out strangely happy, I don't know why I really am. Or I pretend I don't know. Maybe things are not as I believe, she is not using me. There is something on her part too. Maybe not the desperation that I have right now but it may be that there is something behind the walls that erects that woman around her. Something that unfortunately (or fortunately) captured me too.
