Dominance and Defiance

Chapter 4- Wild kitten

As Rose and Amelia walked through the hallway towards their class, Amelia's curiosity got the better of her, and she hesitantly opened the subject. "Um, Rose, I hope you don't mind me asking, but... are you and Aiden, like, together or something?"

Rose glanced at Amelia with a surprised expression before breaking into a soft chuckle. "Oh, no, not at all. Aiden is actually my younger brother."

Amelia's eyes widened in shock. "Wait, what? Aiden is your brother?"

Rose nodded, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Yep, that's right. He's a year younger than me, but he's always been quick to learn. So, he ended up in the same class as mine."

Amelia couldn't hide her surprise. "Wow, I had no idea. That's... unexpected."

Rose chuckled again, seeing Amelia's bewildered expression. "I know, it's a bit unusual. But trust me, having Aiden in the same class has its perks and drawbacks."

Amelia raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? Like what?"

"Well, let's just say it adds an extra layer of... excitement to our daily routine," Rose replied, a mischievous glint in her eyes "and the fact that he has this great reputation in this University with his dark aura is crazy."

Amelia couldn't help but laugh at Rose's mysterious response. "I can only imagine. Well, thanks for clearing that up. And its crazy that you were the one who warned me to stay away from him, I mean he's your brother."

Rose grinned, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "You have no idea what kind of a person he is."

Rose's reply perked curiousity. Amelia said giggling. "You and Aiden are so opposite to be siblings, it's like you are the daylight and he's thunder."

Rose laughed at Amelia's comment.

They entered the class and it went busy with all the notes they had to take. Amelia couldn't help but notice Aiden's absence. She was glad that he was not here while she was noticing how some people were looking at her with a weird expression that she failed to identify.

.............................

The class was over. As Amelia emerged from the washroom, she was greeted by an unexpected sight – a group of students gathered around her, whispering amongst themselves and casting glances in her direction. Amelia was confused as she approached the crowd, trying to make sense of the situation.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asked tentatively, her brow furrowing.

One of the students, a girl with a mischievous grin, stepped forward and addressed Amelia. "Oh, nothing much," she replied with a grin. "We just heard about your little run-in with Aiden earlier. Quite the spectacle, wasn't it?"

Amelia's eyes widened in surprise, realizing that news of her confrontation with Aiden had spread like wildfire through the campus. She felt a flush of embarrassment creep up her cheeks as she became the unwitting center of attention.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about," Amelia stammered, trying to downplay the situation.

But the other students weren't about to let her off the hook that easily. 

Amelia's heart pounded in her chest as the girl with blonde hair stepped forward, a wicked gleam in her eye. Before Amelia could react, the girl snatched her bag and flung it aside with a careless toss.

"What are you doing?" Amelia protested, her voice tinged with disbelief and growing unease.

But the blonde-haired girl paid her no heed, a cruel smirk playing on her lips. "Time for some fun," she declared.
