[GL] Black Gold

Chapter 31

Ember waited for Lula to completely disappear before she finally let go of Camie. The latter jumped as far from Ember as she could while the latter looked at her scratched hands:

"What are you? A cat? Do you see the state my hands are in?

-You should have let me go when I asked you to.

-And what would you have done? Would you have fought her?

-Yes."

Camie was still up to do it. She just needed to find Lula.

"That's the stupidest plan I ever heard. She was obviously trying to anger you.

-Good for her.

-You are seriously so slow. If you hit her, she would probably have gone to a teacher or Amaltheia and play the victim.

-I don't care. All I want is to punch her eyes in.

-And then what? Let her win the war?

-No. Then I would hit her some more."

Ember sighed:

"You are so annoying. Fortunately I came in time."

Camie suddenly understood who she was talking to and she frowned:

"And why are you here by the way?"

Ember suddenly blushed:

"Don't go thinking that I rushed here to save you. I was just passing by, and you were standing in my way."

Camie took too long to answer, and Ember immediately added:

"Don't go imagining weird things. I don't care that you were in trouble. I just stepped in because you were blocking the way."

Camie looked at the path that was big enough for five people, but she preferred not to argue.

"Of course you were.

-Why are you smiling like that?"

Camie touched her face. Was she smiling?

"I am not."

Ember crossed her arms on her chest:

"Now that you are no longer in my way, I can finally go to class."

Camie did her best to hold back her laugh:

"I am so sorry that I blocked your way. Thank you for helping me."

She quickly raised her hands in peace:

"Not that you wanted to, of course."

Ember felt that Camie was making fun of her, but she didn't have time to say anything that they heard someone running up to them:

"Camie!"

Théa ran up to them, her face red and her breathing all over the place. She seemed very worried for some reason, and she raised her hands towards Camie's face before stopping herself at the last second. She let her hands fall back but continued staring at Camie intensively:

"Are you okay? Did she hurt you?"

Camie had no idea who Théa was talking about and glanced at Ember. The latter seemed very hurt about that:

"Why would you look at me? I'm the one who helped you."

Théa looked at Ember for the first time and her eyes were ice cold. Ember had never seen her like that. No matter how many times she had bullied her, she hadn't once lost her composure. But now there she was, staring her up and down with murderous intent.
