Blade Knight Chronicles

Volume 1: Chapter 12

About an hour had passed, Emily was about to go to the cafeteria to get a quick snack before the last class but on the way, she could see Rebecca from a distance grabbing her stuff from the locker and closed it as she walked away.

'That girl deserved it,' Emily thought to herself, 'But then again, I wonder what made her so obsessed with my brooch,'

She was about to walk towards Rebecca but trailed to halt and decided not to and went straight to the cafeteria. By the time she went up to the counter, the lunch lady saw her.

"Shouldn't you be in a class by now?" she asked,

"Yeah, but I kinda skipped a meal earlier." Emily explained, "How much is that bag of chips over there?"

"Oh, the big one's around $12 and the small one's at $9." The lunch lady said,

Emily took out her wallet and noticed that she only has $8 and a nickel. To her dismay, she looked up and said, "Got anything that's around $8 or less?"

"Hmm... I got a small pack of gummy worms at $4." The lunch lady replied,

"I'll take it," Emily said as she placed her $8 near the counter. The lunch lady took it, gave Emily the pack of gummy worms and a change of $4.

"Thanks!" Emily said and left the cafeteria,

When she was in the hallways and a walking distance before her classroom, Emily saw Rebecca talking to a guy from afar. Based on how they reacted and the way they talk, it doesn't look too good. Suddenly, Emily's eyes began to glow red and she could hear what they're saying.

"I don't think this is working out." the guy said,

"Wait. What do you mean?" Rebecca wondered,

"The way you acted is so despicable to the point that I don't want to be involved in your problems" the guy explained, "Unless you change your attitude, we're done."

"But, babe," Rebecca pleaded,

"I don't want you to talk to me, chat me in social media, or tag me in your posts." The guy continued, "And good luck finding someone who'll love you."

He was about to leave until Rebecca grabbed his hand and pleaded to him to stay but the guy just shook her hand off him and walked off leaving Rebecca down to her knees and crying.

On the other hand, Emily's eyes stopped glowing as she couldn't believe that she had that ability but at the same time feel a bit sad about what happened to Rebecca. Emily just went inside her classroom.

Another hour had passed, students are going out of the school building and Emily was grabbing her backpack from her locker and she waited for a while for Rebecca to show up. Until Sarah saw her and walked up to her.
