Maybe Not That Bad

Chapter 7

Rose POV 

"Is there anything else you want to talk about?"

We had spent the last hour and a half talking about my confession and certain episodes of my life. I was glad everything was out in the open now, it was like a huge weight had been lifted of my shoulders.

"Actually...Yeah, there is." I replied.

"Okay, shoot." Lissa said, crossing her legs and giving me her full attention.

"Have you heard what happened today? With Seline?" My guess was she hadn't. If she had, she would've been a little less shocked with what I told her about Janine.

"I heard a few rumors, that's it."

"Well, let me catch you up to speed." I proceeded to report today's events, since Seline to my conversation with Richard.

"I mean, he's not wrong. Not all privileged families think and act like that, but the majority does. They act as if they are royal families." Liss frowned and I could bet it was because if people didn't know her, they would certainly think of her that way.

Despite their wealth, the Dragomirs were good people with good morals.

A rare event in this world.

"Exactly! And that gave me an idea." The excitement was nerve wracking.

She pretended to lock her lips and threw away the key.

"This is only valid for people who actually deserve it, okay?"

"Hum, that sounds creepy, but okay." She smiled.

"Shush. Okay, so what Rick said about rich people not giving value to what they have while we work our asses off got me thinking. What if we took a little of what they have? Like Robin Hood!"

My best friend was shocked.

And that's an understatement.

Lissa blinked once. Then twice. She opened her mouth. And closed it.

"You-I...But..." Oh dear God, I broke her brain.

I grabbed her by her shoulders and shook her softly.

"Breathe, Liss, just breathe."

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she finally opened them, I could see she was back to herself.

"You're talking about stealing." She pointedly said.

"Technically, it's only stealing if we get caught." I shrugged.

She huffed.

Apparently, she disagreed.

"It's a crime. If we're caught, we could end up in jail."

Tell me something I don't know.

"Am I crazy or you sound like your biggest concern is doing jail time? Not that stealing is a bad thing or something we shouldn't do, but actually going to jail."

Silence.

"Liss, are you considering it?" I was curious.

Vasilissa Dragomir was a good person. I was prepared to receive a scolding and a bunch of 'Are you crazy?' shouts to my idea, but I think she was really considering it.

"I...How can I explain? I think it's a good- Well not good. It's a bad idea, but I can understand it and a part of me agrees with it. They took so much from so many. Why not take something back? I'm-I'm just scared." She confessed.
