TBATE - What if Tessia was the legacy ? - The legacy of it all

Hidden agenda

{Tessia Eralith}

-Do you think I'd have a shot with her?" Asked one of the male students in a distracted tone to his tone while he gazes stayed glued onto me.

-None at all." Immediately retorted his comrade whose eyes were also glued onto me. "Plus, she's already going out with the disciplinary committee president."

-That's just a rumor, they never confirmed anything." Counter argued the first one in a tone that I found more and more annoying with every passing moment.

-Well, I can tell you that every elf in the capital knows that they're childhood friends and that he is Elder Virion's protégé." Replied the second boy as he softly readjusted his glasses as I mentally nodded along, finally receiving confirmation that my master plan to peer-pressure Arthur into going out with me was working.

By having him constantly follow me around Zestier while we were kids in public display and making sure everyone noticed us, I both insured that Arthur's presence and identity became well known amongst elves and that they would automatically think about him when they thought of me and vice versa.

This has already helped kick-start rumors about us going out together as soon as we entered the school, since Art was already known by a large chunk of the elven students and that our relationship was already established.

Thanks to this, the entire school should soon know about our past from the other students, see how close we are together, hear the rumors and conclude that we are indeed going out, with me having to do anything.

And, once the rumors are widespread, it won't take long until the wight of everyone's expectation forces Art to concede and accepts to go out with me.
Truly genius.

-Why are you waiting for me in front of the boy's dormitory?" Quizzed Arthur in a half annoyed, half disappointed tone as he stepped toward me.

-I don't see why you would complain about having your gorgeous girlfriend wait for you every morning." I replied with a wide smile in a loud enough tone to make sure everyone around heard me as I closed in the distance between us.

-See, I told you they were going out." Loudly claimed the elf boy to his friend while gesturing our way as I mentally sheered for the success of my plan.

-First, I didn't ask you to, second, I still find you ugly." He nonchalantly retorted before stepping past me and toward our next class.

-Or maybe she was just joking around." Said the same elf boy with a confused tone.

-Yeah, I mean, it must be quite annoying to have everyone spread rumors about your love life." Answered the other in a sudden moment of enlightenment. "We should probably stop."

-Yeah, it was very immature of us to."

-Damn it." I snapped as I bit down on my fingernails before cursing my luck.
"No matter", I thought to myself as I glared at Arthur, who had Sylvie, in her black lizard form, sleeping on top of his head. "Despite the failures of plans, A through E, plans F through K are going well and will definitively let me go out with him by the end of our school year in the worst possible case."

Continuing to elaborate my masterful plans under the sleepy gaze of the little lizard girl, all while ignoring the inner voice in my head warning me that I was going too far with this, I managed to come up with three new possible way of seducing Arthur, which would all need to be thoroughly analyzed and ranked based on scientific process I had invented specifically for that.

-Good morning, my dear rival!" Called out a loud, confident voice, which pulled me out of my thought process.

Glancing up, my eyes landed on Feyrith Ivsaar who was proudly wearing his brand-new DC officer outfit while striding toward us with booming pride and a hint of vanity.
