Beautiful Villaines
Chapter 23. Bestie (?)
“Roxa, what did you say earlier is true?” Cathy asked in a low voice. The golden-blonde petite girl was lying on her side and facing Roxa.
“Which word do you mean, Cath? What if I intentionally tease her? Or the word if she's mine?” Roxa pulled both corners of the lips, smiling thinly. A serenity spread across the beautiful face when he saw the curiosity of his friend who was lying face to face with him.
Yes, now the position of Roxa's body is also lying on its side with the net emerald pointed at Cathie. They were both on a cot with a wooden table that was the barrier between the two cots. While on the wooden table, there was a candlelight in the brass container which became a source of lighting in addition to the fire in the fireplace.
“Everything.” Cathie is back in low voice. He hesitated to ask what was deliberately hidden. He did know the shocking news from Deborah. Even so, he still wanted to know the truth of Roxa.
“Everything I said at the dinner table was true (more precisely I accidentally attacked him with my kiss and forced him into mine).” Roxa responded still with a smile and a calm expression.
“Emh, so yes ...” Now a more subtle murmur was heard from Cathie's mouth.
“Sorry for not telling you in the first place if he could help me. Are you angry, Cath? Since then you look not excited and continue to sound low.”
“Why should I be angry? I just feel a little jealous.”
In that second, the calmness that had been shown by Roxa began to waver, visible from the expression of his wide eyes. “A-what? Are you jealous of me? Do you like that teacher as much as Deborah and the other students?”
Cathie sighed deeply followed by her one hand that reflexively hit Roxa's arm lightly, “I'm jealous of her, Roxa! Could've taken you from me.” Now Cathie's voice is 1/10th of a decibel higher than before.
“Ah\~” Roxa instantly breathes a sigh of relief and returns a smile.
“I've told you many times that whatever is best for you then I will support you, Roxa. And if it turns out he's the jerk that got you hurt, then come back to me.” Cathie suddenly turns her normally calm face into a rage, imagining the new teacher daring to hurt her best friend.
Roxa is getting brighter. He also did not expect that his innocent friend was also able to curse and show an angry expression even though it still looks adorable to him. “Thank you.”
“Thank you for what?” Cathie turned her attention back to Roxa.
“You were always on my side when no one supported me. Actually I don't understand why they hate me so much and keep talking about me. Trust me, I feel grateful because at least I'm not alone here.”
Next to Cathie's hand is outstretched again and reflexes hit Roxa's arm lightly, “What are you saying? Since when are you alone? Have you forgotten Felix's whereabouts?“
“Are you also going to hide that from him? The furore at the dining table was bound to spread and he would also definitely hear. At least you should explain yourself to him. Although he always smiled with the angel's face, but I'm sure he was worried.”
“Yes, yes, alright! I'll explain to him later. I think you're more chatty today than usual, Cath. Even you can curse. Did you catch my bad habits?”
“Hah? Really?” Cathie again put on a plain face while dumbstruck.
Roxa suddenly chuckles when she sees Cathie who is actually looking at herself. Sitting up, his fingers picked up a thick blanket on the couch and then draped on the body to feel warmer again, “It looks like I'm already sleepy. I'm sleeping first, Cath.”
“Yes, I will also sleep because tomorrow the first lesson starts at six in the morning. Good night, Roxa. May the dream be beautiful.”
“Great dreams for you too.”
The two girls closed their eyes and tried to sleep. The atmosphere of the room with the dim lighting was suddenly so quiet as their conversation stopped.
“….”
“….”
“….”
“Cath, have you slept?”
“Not yet, what's up?”
“Omong-by the way who will teach us tomorrow?”
“Didn't I always tell you to take notes on a schedule that changes frequently? Tomorrow the one who teaches us is the teacher you like and want to make yours. Master Axe.”
Roxa opens her eyelids instantly, “A-WHAT?”
