Cursed Empress : The Eight Forbidden Rings

Chapter 3

Infront of me, there are two girls. One is uhmm...by the looks of her, she's a fashion enthusiast and her styles display it.

This human is easy to read. Desires for jewelries and sophistication is transparent in her slender-built frame.

The other girl, it seems that smiling is prohibited to her nature.

She eyed me head to toe bleakly. And she's simple yet gorgeous.

You can also see that she's from a wealthy clan. Maybe she's a brat...or maybe it's just her facade. Who am I to judge anyway.

I met her eyes glancing upon mine, emptiness and carelessness is deeply hidden. But because I'm thankfully bit strengthened by the ring near me, it made me able to explore her orbs even for few seconds.

"Hey guys! I brought my dorm mate here and I've volunteered helping her have some pals."  Angel said with full enthusiasm.

"She's Cleverine Paltrow. A passive and introvert lady...as her latest history of being."  she added.

Suddenly, an undeniably good-looking guy entered the picture and offered his hand for us to shake as sign of formal introduction.

"Hi Cleverine, I'm Oliver Austin...your prince," and he seductively winked at me.

Tsk! Some lame, pitiful humans! He's one of good examples of those.

I'm not used to flirting...

"Sorry, I'm an empress and only an emperor matches my standards..Better try your luck and charms to some princess-wannabe out there."

And I flashed him my mocking grin.

Your cheesy lines won't affect me, human.

He seemed not expecting my rude yet safely-delivered feedback, that's why 'shock' was drawn in his face.

"Hahaha, geez! I like your great yet restrained angst, girl. I have a feeling that we'll surely click. Nikki Solace by the way."

I was about to offer my hand but she jumped at me and squeezed me as if I'm a long lost teddy bear of a kid.

Well, I can say that the sophisticated girl is childish in a way.

Furthermore, it makes me wonder what's the real color of the snob girl with a pokerface?

Is she childish also and as active as the two ladies here (Nikki and Angel)...? Or is she not?

Another gorgeous guy stepped forward and towered me as he traced his gaze on me up to down and vice versa. He locked his eyes with mine with intensed...i don't know. But I have a hint already.

I've scanned him awhile ago. He's tan, tall with his musculine features...muscled chest, broad shoulders that would make your hands want to place it in those and cup it...strong and well-shaped jawline, pointed nose, thin and luscious lips....

and eyes that glistens upon exploring in them. He seems serious and a private individual.

"Hey little girl, listen. I don't want you in our circle," he said in monotone. Not breaking stares with me.

I was not surprised by his straightforward rejection...the expression written in his face already gave me the message that involves his dissatisfaction.

But, I remained standing firmly, not giving him a chance to break our orbs' contact.

"Mr. Whoever-you-are, I'm not pushing myself to belong in your group. I just want to meet new friends but it doesn't mean that I'll be joining your businesses. Anyway thanks for being bold with your opinion." I uttered calmly.
