It was lunch time, and I had missed 3 classes because of Cyrus... And I suppose another reason. Aaaah, everyone's staring me .... and whispering . I haven't made a good impression have I?

The crowds seemed to part as I made my way through the cafeteria. I took a seat at an empty table and sighed. At least the food looked nutritious . I brought the spoon up to my mouth and  just as I was about take a bite a beautiful girl sat down gracefully across from me.

I lowered the spoon, and stared at her. She had long, silver hair, clear blue eyes, and a beauty spot under her left eye. Her most impactful feature, was her elegance. She was exactly what I imagined a noble young lady would look like.

She reached out her hand and I hesitantly shook it. "I am Lucina Alwen Regis, the first daughter of Duke Regis. It's a pleasure to meet you." 

"Ahh, I'm Olivia, I mean I'm Olivia Erem, the pleasure is... it's mine." I replied awkwardly 

"You, is there something wrong with you?"  Lucina stared straight at me with serious eyes. 

Wrong with me?! Well sorry if I messed up my greeting, but was that really necessary ...

Lucina looked around suspiciously and then brought her hand to her face in order to muffle her voice. "Are you... a reincarnator ?" 

I started to choke, eeeeeeeh what was that?

After a few seconds I calmed down. "I'm a transmigrator, I think..."

she gasped "so ,did you play the game too?" 

I tilted my head to the side "game?" Then I realized. Nooooooo! This world is an otome game, she's the reincarnated villainess, and that means... am I the original heroine?! 

But the heroine is always some pure-looking bitxh who thinks everything is about her, fudge that totally fits my description .

Lucina opened her mouth when a blond-haired boy slid into the seat next to her. He put his arm around her and frowned at me. "Luci, why didn't you tell me you were eating lunch here?" 

He rested his head on her shoulder. Woah she's totally tamed him, as expected of a villainess. 

As I stared in admiration at Lucina, the blond-haired boy glared at me. "What were you discussing with my sister?" 

Ahhh,  the sister-brother combo, classic.

"Admiring her, she's quite remarkable." 

Lucina started to blush "huh?! That's..." Her brother continued to glare at me. 

"Luci, you can't just believe everything people say! Look at her stoic expression, she clearly doesn't mean it."

What's with this guy? 

"Well, I'm not admiring you, that's for sure." I glared back at him."Actually Lucinca's brother, we were in the middle of an important  discussion."

Lucina nodded seriously "yeah Jamie, it would be nice if you left right now."

She pushed her brother away and he almost fell out of his chair. "But lu-ci-na, she's dangerous!" 

"Jamie this is the cafeteria, there are people everywhere and I could totally take her."

Take me...what. Am I in danger? Is she going to expose me because I know she's a reincarnator ??  Did I fall for her trap? Ahh my terrible self I'm too trusting and pure, I'll have to fake my death.

"Umm, Olivia are you listening?"

"Yes...hold on what? I mean listening?" 

"Well then I'll meet you there later!"   Uh-oh, consequences for my actions. I can't tell her I was ignoring her, she's the nicest person I've met in a year. What if she doesn't want to talk to me anymore, what if she blackmails me, bullies me, and has me hanged for disrespect?
