Chapter 2 - Witchy Bitches

Erza's POV

" Oh my, see who's coming girls! " Said the girl who sounds like a choking toad. Not that I heard one. She's Kara. One of the cheerleaders.

Are they too excited to see me? They're waiting at the university's gate!

" Here comes Princess Sleeping UGLY, and of course, her ever so loyal bodyguard. " Said Mina. The one who has a very long neck, she could pass as a giraffe. But I don't think the giraffe would allow it. The four other girls laugh like it's gonna be the end of the world tomorrow. At least for me.

" Erza, just this one, let me break at least their pinky fingers " Cherry whispered to me obviously annoyed.

" Oh please Cherry no… " I said pleading desperately. She sighed and she looked like she wanted to hit me instead.

" You and your st*pid kindness that they don't actually deserve. I'm really sick of it. " and she rolled her eyes. I sighed this time. I just don't want her to be caught in trouble because of me. I'd rather just get through it and let them say what they want. Like I said before, they'll get tired sooner or later.

We quickened our pace so we could get through them as quickly as possible. I don't want to hear anything from them. Yes, I'll let them say what they want but definitely I don't want to hear it. Who in their right mind would want to?

But for the reason that they were actually witches that pretend to be students, we couldn't get rid of them that easily.

" You know what, my girls? Princesses should walk only on beautiful aisles. " Mitch said. Their president. The captain. The universal slut as they say. Yes, it doesn't come from me. Why? She makes it a point that her members' boyfriends will also be her boyfriend. How pathetic and low-key whore she could be.

If having too many boyfriends is their definition of beauty? I'd rather be called ugly with all my heart then.

" Yes girlfriend. There should be flower petals that showered on her path. " Jessa said dreamily. She's the vice and Mitch's right hand slave, I mean her very loyal follower.

I really felt cringy on the way they talked. It's terribly disgusting. I can't help but look up and sigh inside so I can hide my distaste. And to stop myself from rolling my eyes. I don't want trouble, I reminded myself.

And because I don't really want to look at them, I didn't see Mitch kicking the trash bin. I don't know where the hell they get it from. Do they really prepare this much for me? And yes, the trash was scattered all over the path where Cherry and I were heading to.

" Ha! Princess Ugly doesn't deserve flower petals! She deserves trash! " and she laughed just like a witch. Creepy!

" Well, just like her. A trash. " Lea said dramatically. She's the one who changed her boyfriend like she's just changing her clothes. Seriously, what's with her face? It looks like an effin coloring book!

Oh yeah. Let's stop talking about their looks and their trashy personalities. Back to reality. Where are we?

And because we're walking at a quick pace, I can't stop myself from moving forward unlike Cherry who was gifted with fast reflexes. She tried to stop me by trying to grab me but she's just too late. Her fast reflex wasn't meant to save me.

And because I am the luckiest human being at this very moment, of all the trash that I could put my shoe on, I stepped on an empty soda can. Instead of being crumpled because of my weight, it rolled under my feet and caused me to lose my balance. What a way to start my day.

" Erza!!! "

Shouting my name is all Cherry could ever do.

I shut my eyes tight and waited for my body to touch the waste covered ground.

" Genesis!?! "

The cheerleaders said in unison. They were over-dramatically shocked.

Then I realized that I completely stopped falling. I also felt that there's someone's arm around my waist and there's a hand that holds my head so it doesn't hit the ground. And I smell a very familiar scent. Masculine but subtle.

Can I go on like this for a while? I just feel so safe and comfortable and I'm at ease.

But I know it's impossible so I slowly open my eyes. Only to meet his worried gaze. It lasted only for a second and he abruptly looked away. Slowly, he helped me stand up and steadied me on his side. His now shooting dagger looks at the five witches.

I am sure that I didn't hit my head. But am I seeing things? I thought I saw worriedness in his eyes. But that's just too impossible! Who am I kidding?

" Look Genesis- " Mitch started. The witch is obviously nervous.

" Clean those mess." he continues to glare. " or else.."

" Or else what? " Mitch is trying to save some face. Trying to show some arrogance.

" Or else I'm gonna break every last bit of your bones from head to toe. " Cherry hissed under her breath a dreadful threat.

" Cherry stops it! " I said pleading again. The cheerleaders were obviously scared from what she said.

Then out of nowhere, some of the members of the school's basketball varsity team were on the witches' side. Including Joel, the latest addition to Mitch's collection.

Seriously, is there a trend to pop up like mushrooms out of nowhere?

And what the hell's gonna happen with this "little get-together" ?

Again. Seriously. I don't want to think about it. I don't want to think about anything at all.
