4) A Mother? Ha, Don't Make me Laugh.

"You've been coming home later than normal this week." A puff of smoke steamed past rosy-red lips. "Why is that Y/n?"

"No reason."

"Ha...You must think I'm stupid." Y/n was kicked in the shin, forcing her to her knees. The heel of the women's shoe digs into your hand. You choked back a scream, tears pooling in your eyes. But you refused to let them fall.

"My lady, it's time for her to go to school," the butler announced, bowing behind the red armrest. The lady inhaled the toxic fumes ever so slowly. Another jet of smoke left those bloody lips. They curled into a smirk, "Then you may leave, but do not bandage that hand." You looked up, "But Mo━" Your head snapped to the side. Blood dripping from your busted lip.

Gritting your teeth, you turned back to the witch you call Mother. "If the teachers see this." You trailed off, knowing she knew what you were getting at.

"Then you tell them that you got jumped on your way to school." Yellow eyes lined with mascara glared down at you, glowing like gold in the light of the fireplace. Another stream of smoke went into the air. "Do I make myself clear?"

You looked down to hide your frown, "Yes." She smiled happily and waved her gloved hand. Her gold bracelets clinked, "Goodie! You are dismissed, have a nice day at school, hunny~"

You bowed to her, "I thank you, mother."

...

"My Lady, are you alright?" The butler wiped the blood off your lips. "It's nothing new," you replied curtly.

"My Lady━"

"Sebastian." Your voice was stern as he bowed his head. "Please don't worry. I'll be fine. I've always been, haven't I?" you replied softly. He chuckled as he applied the bandage. "My Lady is very strong indeed."

"What, Y/n, what happened to your face!" You avoided your teacher's eye.

"I was merely jumped on my way to school," you mumbled. You made sure to keep your hand in your jacket pocket. Good thinking Sebastian, you thought. He had given it to you before sending you off.

"WHAT!? You were jumped?" You grimaced. He's being overly loud about it, Y/n thought, watching patiently as your teacher literally had a mental breakdown. His fellow coworkers gave him weird looks.

"Here, I think you need some." A male teacher handed him a cup of coffee. He took it gratefully. He sighed, "I'm sorry about that."

"There's no need," you replied.

"Can you tell me what happened?" You blinked and turned away, feigning weakness. "I'm sorry, sir, but I don't want to talk about it," you mumbled, your hand curling over your heart. He gave you a reassuring smile, "If you say so. But come to me if you ever want to talk. I'm always here."

He waved you off as you left the teacher's lounge. You sighed tiredly; I can finally eat my lunch!

You pulled out your bento and happily ate your food. Enjoying the tranquil quietness of the classroom.

"Y/N!"

So much for peace and quiet, you thought. Dead-panning as you chewed your food. Lila along with Akari and Kei stopped in front of you. "How dare you!"

"What is it this time?" you questioned as she pulled you by your collar. Again? Honestly surprised she can lift a grown person and not a stack of books. "Hey! Are you listening?" You raised your hand, "No, not really."

"UGH!" She dropped you and smirked. "I shouldn't even be bothered with an attention seeker like you."

"A what?" you asked, fixing your tie. "You heard me. You made up that story about being jumped just for attention," Lila said, jabbing her finger at your chest. "But who knew you'd go as far as to injure yourself too, and your face! That's a women's pride and joy!" You glared as she squished your cheeks together.

Y/n swatted her hand away and scoffed. "Are you done now? I'd like to finish my lunch."

Lila frowned and leaned back. "By all means, finish your lunch," she said, holding her hand out. She swatted your bento off the desk. The food spilled out onto the floor your bento turned upside down. "Oops, my hand slipped. Gomen...Y/n~" Lila smirked as she said your name.

You sighed as they filed out of the room. You quickly cleaned up the mess. "Welp, there goes my lunch." You watched as the wasted food dropped into the trash bin.

"Whoa~ what happened to your face?" Ran asked, getting awfully close. "I heard that you were jumped on your way to school," Rin added when you stayed quiet.

Ran's eyes widened as he frowned, "What?"

"It was nothing━" Your stomach growled loudly, cutting you off. They both stared at your stomach and then at you. "Anywa━" Another growl cut you off.

"Y/n, are you━"

"No."

"But━"

"No."

They exchanged a look over your shoulder as you buried your head behind your knees. "Did you not have lunch?" Rin asked. You hesitated and then shook your head, no.

"Aw~ is Y/n getting shy?" Ran teased as he poked your arm.

"Shut up," you grumbled.

The driver announced that they had arrived. You walked in and greeted Takeuchi-sama. "It's nice to see you again, Y/n dear."

"Nana!" Ran grabbed you by the shoulders from behind. "Y/n didn't eat lunch!" Your eyes widened, and you whirled on Ran.

"Yeah, her stomach kept growling," Rin added. You blushed in embarrassment and turned to him before slapping your hand over your face. "You two are the worse."

They grinned at each other from behind your back. "Eat while we go change," Ran said as you drew your hand away, glaring at his retreating form. "We'll work on the project once you're done~" Rin added, flicking your forehead. You scowled as they walked away.

"Come eat, Y/n. I've prepared a meal," Takeuchi-sama announced. You took a peek at the table and sweat-dropped. "I can't eat all this."

"Oh, don't worry about that. Eat to your heart's content!" You gave an awkward-close-eyed smile. This is more of a feast than a simple meal.
