Introduction:
Iris first meets Anya on the first day of second year at Eden. Anya is running late and runs right into Iris. Iris helps her pick up her stuff and brushes it off, Anya thanks her before running off to class. Iris thinks ‘What a strange girl.’ but in a good way. Anya makes it just in time but is greeted with a sniff and a
“How inelegant of you Miss Anya.” Anya sits down next to Becky in her usual spot and turns around to look at Damian. *Activate Damian filter and tomato mode* Becky shakes her head and sighs. Mr. Henderson starts class and welcomes them back from summer break. He says there is a new student joining Cecile Hall. Iris walks in and waves. She recognizes Anya and smiles at her. Then sees Becky next to her and nods(they have obviously met, Becky being a huge shopper and Iris being heir to Darley Cosmetics with both their families being the upper crust). She steps up and introduces herself.
“Hi I'm Cyrisa Darley but you can call me Iris! I'm super excited to be here!”. The murmurs start immediately as EVERYONE knows of Darley Cosmetics, most of their mothers adore the brand. They also know she's the sole heir. Instant popularity. Mr. Henderson tells her to sit wherever she pleases. Everyone immediately clears a space for her but she sits down in the spot next to Anya. Everyone is surprised. Iris smiles at Anya and Becky.
“It's nice to see you again Becky. How's everything going?” Becky smiles back. She quite likes Iris, the only one who she thought wasn't beneath her before she came to Eden.
“Well, thank you. Have you two met?” Becky asks, gesturing to Anya. Iris turns towards Anya
“Yes actually. You're the girl who ran right into me this morning!” She laughs.
“That's right!” Anya gasps “You're the nice girl who helped Anya! Without you Anya would've been very late! Thank you very much Iris!” Anya says, bowing her head multiple times in rapid succession. Iris laughs and says
“You guys can call me Risa. But I never caught your name?” Iris tilts her head, not sure if the girl had been talking about herself.
“My name is Anya Fowger!” Anya says proudly. ‘So she refers to herself in third person? What a strange girl. But I like her.’(Anya reads her mind and hears this of course) Anya smiles 'heh'.
“It's nice to meet you, Anya.” Iris says smiling.
Anyways class starts bla bla bla skip to lunch. Nobody knows Iris and Damian are cousins yet. So obviously something big has to happen.
At lunch:
“Sit with us!” Becky says, waving Iris over. Iris had been about to approach her cousin but decided that sitting with Becky and Anya would be far more enjoyable.
“Ok!” Iris says walking over to them and taking a seat.
Now, rumors had been going around all day about Cyrisa Darley. Eventually something had gotten out about the two being cousins. Big gasp. But no one truly believed it. I mean sure they look similar but no one was sure what to make of the rumors. Anyways.
At Damian's table:
“Have you heard the rumors Lord Damian? About Cyrisa Darley?” Emile asks. Damian of course cared about his cousin like a sister and so
“No.” He says stiffly “What are they about?” he tries to say carelessly
“They're saying that Cyrisa is your cousin. Can you believe it?” Emile blurts out. Damian sighs ‘Might as well tell them. Risa will reveal it anyway.’
“Well actually.” Damian lowers his voice “She is. On my mother's side.”
Ewen and Emile gape at him and it is silent for a few moments. Damian’s ears start flushing red in worry. Ewen abruptly breaks the silence.
“Well of course she is! She is the upper of upper class, heir to Darley Cosmetics! Of course she's related to Lord Damian!” Ewen announces loudly like super loudly as in the entire hall heard him loudly. The dining hall falls silent. *Activate Damato mode*
“Ewen!” He hisses. Ewen freezes
“I'm s-so sorry Lord Damia-!”
“Oh well I guess it's out now!” Iris says standing up. She turns to face everyone in our class, tilts her head and pulls the cute anime smile(ya know the one where they're all cutesy and like flowers and hearts and sparkles appear). “Dami and I are cousins!” (Oh yeah and she hopped on top of the table but the teachers were too charmed by her to notice) Damian rushes over and pulls her down from the table. The murmers start immediately.
“Risa, what are you doing?!” He hisses. Becky gapes and Anya is doing her smile (‘heh. Perfect for plan B. I can befriend Sy-on’s cousin then Sy-on boy has no choice but to be friends with me!’).
“Whaat? Your loud friend over there already shoved it out might as well make sure the public knows the specifics Dami. You know what my mom says ‘clear up the confusion otherwise they'll twist it all up’” Iris says sagely.
Anyways Damian yells at her for like 10 seconds but softens up because he has a soft spot for his cousin. Moving on, Becky has been making moon eyes between Anya and Damian the entire time after she picked her jaw up off the ground. Damian has been slowly turning red but not from the yelling. Iris puts two and two together.
“So you guys all know each other huh?” Iris smirks. Damian turns even redder.
“Yup. Sy-on boy and Anya met after Anya punched him for being mean to Becky!” Anya says earnestly(not exactly true they met before that but you know Anya). Iris's smirk widens.
“Shut up you uggo! That's not what happened! And why do you always refer to yourself in third person? You're such a dummy!” Damian says, fuming.
“Whaaaattt? Damian being a jerk? I didn't expect that from him.” Iris says sarcastically, ignoring Damian. She leans over to Becky and says in a loud whisper “It's his LOVE language.” They both burst into giggles. ‘Love language? That must mean how he acts to his friends!’ Anya thinks
“Heh.” Anya says doing her smile at Damian. Damian is about to explode.
“St-stop looking at me like that stubby legs!” Damian shouts ‘cute’ he thinks. Anya frowns ‘Sy-on boy’s thoughts are confusing’. Mr. Henderson walks over.
“How inelegant of you to yell at Miss Anya.” He says, giving Damian a disapproving glare. Damian stutters and stares up wide-eyed at Mr. Henderson.
“S-sorry Mr. Henderson.” He throws one last glare at Becky and Anya before shoving his hands in his pockets and walking back to his table, Ewen and Emile behind him(they joined Damian amidst the chaos). Iris and Becky exchange glances.
“So… they're like a thing?” Iris asks, already knowing the answer.
“The biggest” Becky responds with a solemn nod. Anya is still smiling.Anywaysss, that's a lil peek at a story for Damianya(and maybe someone for Becky???). And when Cyrisa Darley(✨icon✨) or Iris is introduced. Hope you enjoyed!
