Freshman

Chapter 38: The Conceit

Damien was Mavie's boyfriend while she had a relationship with Vauld. No one really knew if Mavie intended to cheat on Vauld, but when we asked her for the details, she kept on changing the story. As elusive as she is, you will never know what she might be hiding under that reticent mask.

"Aria," CJ pounded on the desk, looking furious.

"What?"

"Do you know anything about her last post on Tether?"

"Her?"

"Yes, her." He rolled his eyes.

"Sorry," I dropped my pen and notebook. "But I don't quite follow."

"I meant her!" He exclaimed. "What do you know about Mavie's post on Tether?"

"Mavie?" I shrugged. "I don't even have a Tether account."

"Argh," he grumbled. "She's so irritating!"

"Oh?" I blinked. "Why so?"

"She's got some nerve!"

"Why?"

"Her pride is above the clouds!"

"WHY?!"

"She-"

"Back to your seats everyone!" RA announced. "Ms. Margarine's comin' and her face says that she isn't in a good mood."

Everyone scuttled into different directions in supersonic speed. They went to their Math seating arrangement and sat quietly on their seats.

Ms. Margarine entered the room with a dark expression, not her usual one, but nonetheless it was gloomy. Her dark mood was added with a little hint of irritation and anger as you can see from her mouth that grimaced.

"Good morning Miss-"

"Vauld!" Ms. Margarine reprimanded. "Outside! Now!"

Immediately, Vauld did what he was told. Meanwhile, all heads turned to the small window that was plastered on the face of our door. We saw nothing else but the face of Mavie, with a distorted face.

"All of you," Ms. Margarine turned to us. "Sit and shut your mouths until I get back!"

She slammed the door behind us, leaving us in a very anxious silence. Everyone's eyes were smitten by the argument that was going on outside. It seems like they were having fun, weren't they?

Ms. Margarine talked to the two as if they were naughty children who forgot to clean up their mess after play time. Vauld and Mavie had no eye contact, but was finally talking again.

"Tsk," EJ shook his head. "If only I could read lips."

"Don't get involved," Hermione frowned. "They're in a hot potato, and you wouldn't wanna get your fingers burned now, would you?"

"Mavie did all this for Vauld," Petunia confessed. "The fuss she made outside earlier was probably what beckoned Ms. Margarine to intrude and atleast try to fix the problem, and probably the post on Tether too."
