Chapter 34: It's A Win-Win Game If You Lose (2)

The atmosphere had become super awkward when he did that.

I abruptly hardened my grasp and forced Robin to stop pulling my arm.

He actually threw the precious jewel inside a trashbin! A present. The only kind guesture Alice had done towards me.

"Why.. Why did you do something like that!? "

I literally yelled and I found Robinhood put up the most confused expression ever.

"W-What..did I do..? "

He stammered when his friends abruptly came over rushing and put their arms on both our necks noticing the toxicity of the situation.

"My.. My.. Why don't we all just go and cut the cake and eat some food..? That's why we are here after all.. right? Right? " A guy said and the others nodded.

"Yes, let's gather and announce it to others.. "

They said and soon, did the same in a few minutes.

The arrangements of the birthday party was made and as everyone sung the birthday song for the well-loved Robinhood, I found certain abandoned corner and watched everyone celebrate the certain popular kid, with my mind still on the jewelry that was currently inside the trashbin.

This is literally the first time Alice had been kind to me. Alice has always ignored, neglated and despised my presence.

And, just when she actually seemed to think something like this could happen... Wouldn't Alice definitely think that.. I.. neglated to take care of her gift..?

Damn.

I hit the wall beside me and feel my lips twirl bitterly.

W-Why am I being so patient with him..? Even when Robinhood continues breaking my heart like this.. Why am I still putting up with all this..?

Ah.. I.. I think I know why..

Because.. Robinhood is the only person in the entire Crimson Fox who.. Acknowledges me as a person.. Instead of treating me as a villaness..

And, I.. I..

For having person like that on this lonely school life..

Do not want him to hate me at all costs..

At the thoughts I clenched my fists and shrunk my eyes with an extremely grim expression when a voice surprised me with his next words.

"Don't bother about that accessory, lassie.. "

I suddenly heard the voice of a certain young muscular man, a friend of Robinhood said as he ended up standing next to me at all this commotion.

"L-Little John-Samma.. "

I uttered his name softly surprised he wasn't with his best friend during the celebratation.

"Just call me John and.. Besides the jewel's in the trashcan. It's not like you can take it out from there anymore.. "

Ya... A place it shouldn't be at all.

My face frowned staring at the floor as the guy continued.

"If I could, I will buy an identical one like that. What do you say..?
Kay? " He said smiling lightly as I instantly rejected it.

"No. No. That isn't needed. I-I can manage it.." I lied waving my arms.

There's no way I could do that. It's Alice's. And, What could I do if she finds it out..? It's not like he could help me any way. Especially since he's Robin's friend.
