--Amber’s POV--

“H-hey,” I turned to my cold seatmate. “Do you think I can borrow a pen?” I asked her after plucking up all my courage. Seriously, what is wrong with me? I’ve faced much scarier and more dangerous men than her—never mind, she trumps all of them…combined. “N-n-never mind. I’ll just ask someone else…ha.ha,” I ended up laughing nervously when she shot me that cold glare of hers for the third time since we’ve met.

“Sorry to bother you. Do you think I can borrow a pen?” I leaned down the aisle and asked the girl to my right. “Thank you,” I couldn’t help but get teary eyes when she was nice enough to help me.

Every other second I would sneak a glance towards the ice princess, which I’m dubbing her as because I think it fits her perfectly. She’s so beautiful just like a real life princess, just like the one that I saved a few months ago, but she has such a nasty personality. I was too caught up in thoughts and forgot to look away making her catch me staring at her. “AH!” I jumped out of my seat, getting everybody in the room’s attention after the ice princess pinched my side, hard. I think it’ll leave a bruise later.

“Yes? Can I help you, Yiyun?” the teacher fixed his glasses and looked at me with his arms crossed.

I scratched the back of my non-itchy head and chuckled nervously. “I…I just wanted to….to tell you that you step 4 is wrong. Ha.Ha.Ha.” I quickly sat back in my seat and hunched over, trying to bury my red face. I peaked at her from the small opening of my folded arms. Oh, this is sooooo on, princess.

--Krystal’s POV--

I stifled my laughter when Yiyun jerked out of his seat, catching the whole class’ attention, but quickly schooled my expression so he wouldn’t know. Heh, that’ll teach you to mess with me.

My hand was supporting my head up as I closed my eyes. The lesson was just too boring and I couldn’t stay awake any longer. Just as I was about to go off into dreamland I felt my hand get pulled away.

BAM my head bang on the desk top.

“Ou--” I stopped my scream when I saw the whole class was looking at me. “I-I mean...” I tried to come up with something but nothing came to mind, “Sorry, please continue.” I bowed apologetically to the teacher and the class resumed their lesson.

I scowled and glared daggers to my new seatmate when I heard him stifling his laughter. I knew it! It was him! Oh, it’s soooo on, pretty boy!

“Hey,” he called softly.

I turned to look at him. “What??” I hissed out. If he thinks an apology will make me forgive him then he’s poorly mistaken.

“You have a red mark here,” he gestured to the red mark on my forehead before snickering again.

I grit my teeth and clenched my fists. I’m so going to kill you!

“Jerk,” I grit through my teeth quietly so the class wouldn’t hear.

--Amber’s POV--

Seriously? Jerk? She’s such a kid! I couldn’t help but chuckle at her antics. I’ll be the bigger person and let things go. After all, I am 22 years old. I’m not going to fall for this.

“I’ll be the bigger person and let things go,” I told myself when she continued to call me names. Be the bigger person, Amber, be the bigger person. Be the bigger—argh, screw it!

“Meanie,” I whispered under my breath.

“Stupid,” she shot back.

I made a face. “Rude.”

“Llama!” she hissed.

I didn’t know what else to call her! Damn you, brain, think! “Ice Princess!” I was trying to come up with another name to shoot back at her but when I didn’t hear her I slowly glanced over to see her with a blank, unreadable expression.

“H-hey?” I nudged her softly, slightly concerned that I may have said something I shouldn’t have, only for her to slap me across the face, snapping my face to the side. OOOOUUUUCCCCHHH!! I screamed out in pain mentally. What is wrong with this girl?! I whirled around to shout, not caring about all the eyes on us, but upon seeing her teary eyes I froze…I just couldn’t. The ringing of the bell suddenly snapped everyone out of their trance-like state.

I tried to apologize, though for what, I’m not sure, but seeing her all teary eyes made me felt like I was the bad guy. As I reached out to apologize she suddenly shot up and ran out of the room like a bullet.

Great! Nice going! What happened to being the bigger person? What happened to being 22 years old? You ended up making a high schooler cry! Well done, Amber! Are you proud of yourself now? Do you feel like the big bad agent now?

Oh, shut it will you. I know I’m at fault here. You don’t need to rub it in my face. I rolled my eyes and got up to chase after her to apologize. However, I caught sight of some suspicious students heading outdoors and debated if I should follow them or go apologize. In the end, my mission came first and I followed after the students at a safe distance. I’ll apologize to her after break time.
