Powers of Freezing

It felt nice, walking down the cobblestone path in the middle of a forest, feeling the gentle breeze against my uniform covered in dirt and tears, hearing the birds arguing loudly in my ear, and looking up at the thunderous skies.

Indeed. It was nice.

I'm totally not being sarcastic right now.

Totally.

Honestly, after reaching my hand out to Lancera, I had expected us at the moment to become good friends again, true friends who confided in each other, taking it slow, before arranging a romantic night out, where one of us would formally confess under the beautiful night sky, we'll become a true couple that stunned everyone around us.

(You can expect that I wasn't too sober at the time, drowning in the drug called 'Lancera's special brand of blind love')

But it isn't that easy.

Life is never easy. NEVER.

Even though Lancera is currently holding my hand jumping up and down before me, I feel even worse than when I was sobbing into my skirt a few minutes ago.

In fact, I was trudging along lifelessly, cussing that girl in colorful foul language each step I took.

IT'S ALL THAT VILLAINESS' FAULT! ALL HER FAULT!

Why did I even believe in her?! Hmph.

At first, that Hall brat had been a pretty un-bratty kid, asking if I was alright, and wiping off my tears for me.

But you see, that's what started this whole shenanigan.

Upon seeing her actions, the hand that I had held out froze, but not only was my body frozen, my mind had turned blank as well.

Before I knew it, my face was blushing madly, once again, out of my control.

Even if you ask why I was like that, I can't give an answer.

C-C-Cuz it's all her fault! That stupid Lancera!

She was the one that caused this! Yet! Yet she didn't take any responsibility!

Instead, she went ahead and asked me, "Asu! Your face looks so red… should we head to the infirmary? Though of course, you look lovely like this as well," while touching my forehead with a twinkle in her eye.

HMPH!

SHE'S CLEARLY DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!!

She might've thought I hadn't seen that little flicker in her eyes, but I saw!

AND THAT PRAISE!

W-W-W-W-WHY DID SHE ADD THAT PART?!

TERRIBLE!

Now, thoughts of retaliating had crossed my mind, especially since I've already exposed myself to her.

But just as I smirked and was about to stomp on her foot using the heel of my shoe, something she said fricking froze me again!

I'm telling you; she has some superpower that allows her to do this!

"Asu… Actually, I feel quite hurt."

Ha!

Hurt your foot! Pun intended. I'm the one that feels uncomfortable! What do you mean you're hurt?!

The freezing spell lasted for less than a second, and my heel quickly landed, but not before I heard her next words—

"You actually thought that I had deserted you for another man—yelp!"

F*ck.

Oh gosh.

Oh no.

All the color drained from my face as my figure froze for the trillionth time this day, my heel laying immobile on Lancera's shoe.

Fu*k the Hall brat and her godly memory.
