I want to burn this party down

If there was one thing Melanie hated the most in the galaxy, it was drinking parties, the ones where people gather around to get drunk whether its academy students or adults drinking. 

Drunk people were the worst type of people that Melanie hated to deal with even when her former friends and ex-fiancé dragged her to a couple of parties in their first year since the legal drinking age is 16.

She remembered her former friends acting dumb and even Mark attempted to make sexual advances on her when Melanie didn't want it.

'If there's one thing I'm glad about our former engagement, it's that I never gave that insolent prick my chastity.'

Back then, Melanie wanted to save her chastity for marriage but now after years since their breakup she realizes that maybe....just maybe....the real reason was because she never loved Mark at least for a long time that is.

Not since she witnessed how Mark treated his sisters like how rude customers treats fast food employees, and to how she knows that fact well....she's seen videos online that Jen would urge her to watch.

'Even in the 26th century, peasants treat lower peasants like dogs'

Of course she was no better though recently she started changing that mindset because of a certain glasses-

[Hello? Earth to Melanie? What's the plan now], said Jen with her voice reverting back to the usual bored uncaring tone.

"Huh? Oh I'll still go to that place. It's been a week and I really miss them", Melanie replied with one of her rare beaming smile that only Jen has seen in recent years.

[Really with all the drunkards roaming around at this point?]

"Yeah I'll just burn any who dare try to touch me with their filthy hands', replied Melanie in a nonchalant manner as if it wasn't her first time, befitting of the cruel princess moniker.

She got up and proceeded to clean her plate along with her cooking utensils. After making sure her kitchen was sparkling clean, Melanie proceeded to her bedroom to grab one of her expensive hoodies and tennis shoes. 

She then proceeded to the front door currently wearing her white hoodie that hid most of her slim figure and womanly assets.

Melanie put her hood on to avoid people from recognizing her but doing that also came with more problems as it hid her-

"Heeeyyyyy cuuuttttiiieeee whacha hiding underneath that hoodie huh?"

-face inviting ignorant people to hit on her. Despite the hoodie covering her upper body, her smooth long legs were exposed for people to ogle....especially drunk men like this one.

Moments earlier

In the lounge area was a group of young men and women drinking and flirting, but there was always a lone drinker as every couple was established in that group.

That lone drinker felt left out and decided to drink his sorrow away quietly hoping for an angel to ease the loneliness aside from booze but then...

BUT THEN.

An angel did appear from one side of the hallway though he wasn't sure which room numbers as he was too drunk to notice.

He noticed the angel's smooth legs, her hoodie hiding her beautiful body, and strands of white hair appearing out of her hood....though he was too drunk to notice the violet color on the ends of the hair. If he had noticed it then he wouldn't have...

"Heeeyyyyy cuuuttttiiieeee whacha hiding underneath that hoodie huh?"

...tried to approach her and tried to take the hood off.

One of his lesser drunk friend of the group noticed the violet tip on the hoodie girl's white hair and attempted to warn the idiot before it was too late.

"WAIT DON'T TOUCH HER-"

"Tch another peasant who can't keep his hands to himself", Melanie muttered as she uncaringly set the lone drinker on fire. 

"Wha-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH...MAKE IT STOP....IT HURTS PLEASSSSEEEE!!!!" The loner was set ablaze in a blue fire with violet tips appearing here and there, the power of an A- Esper Pyrokinesis was witnessed by the group of friends as they quickly sobered up witnessing their groupmate in great pain. 

"HOLY SHIT MELANIE ASATO-ROMANOFF IS BACK"

"THE CRUEL PRINCESS?"

"Step on me"

"Dude..."

"Please Miss Romanoff, I beg you to stop, he was wrong and I apologize in his stead." There were various reactions with the one person, who attempted to warn the lone drinker, going on their knees apologizing and kowtowing hoping Melanie would stop or else the lone drinker would suffer serious injuries. 

As for Melanie, she ignored them and continue her walk down the hallway cutting her power off as the kowtowing began. The lone drinker suffered a few more seconds of excruciating pain which felt like an eternity for him before the unnatural flame went out. 

The fire burned away all of his hair and left 2nd degree burns all over his body, not as bad as 3rd degree burns, but still painful enough to be reminded of this day.

"Shit...let's get him to the infirmary down in Pleasantville"

"No he needs the medical bay for these burns"

.

.

.

.

[Surprised you didn't give him 3rd degree burns as you usually do], Jen said in Melanie's earpiece that she brought with her to talk with Jen freely.

"I didn't want to ruin the mood since they were celebrating", Melanie replied softly, "....well not ruin it entirely", then gave a cold chuckle at the end as the elevator closed.

It took less than a second for the elevator to smoothly travel from floor 14 to the ground floor.

Ding

As the elevator door opened, a putrid smell invaded Melanie's nostrils causing her to gag a little and scrunch up her nose.

The horrid smell was familiar to Melanie as she had to deal with drunk people before, this smell was...

"Damn kids puking everywhere like the floor is a toilet."

A large beefy ebony skinned bald man was mopping the marble ground floor near the elevators. The man appeared to be in his early to mid-40s and had a large muscular build.

This man was the head of the cleaning drones that roam around the entire large sized academy but his job title was better known as the janitor and he was cleaning the vomit as the rest of the drones were busy all around Pleasantville. People only knew his name to be simply Bob as only the principal knew his background.

Though rumors suggested he was former special forces given his large muscular build and scruffy beard that seems as if all of his head hair only grew on the bottom side of his rough face.

Bob raised his head as someone stepped out of the elevator and noticed Melanie immediately by her white hair and violet tips peeking out of the hood.

Melanie stopped as she heard Bob's mumbling and turned to face him giving him a nod.

Bob nodded back as both respected their given roles, for Melanie, Bob was a hardworking commoner who never asks for favors.

As for Bob, Melanie was one of the few students who weren't spoiled entitled brats who actively makes a mess making life difficult for him and his cleaning drones.

Crossing the ground floor past the various drunk students and even workers from the Office of Student Housing in the 4th year building, Melanie didn't have any similar confrontations like on floor 14.

This was mainly because shortly after she stepped out of the elevator, a group of students was carrying someone with 2nd degree burns. 

The horridly scarred student jolted many of them causing them to sober up and instantly recognize the perpetrator walking casually amongst them causing many to spread out like the Red Sea from a certain religious story.

Melanie stepped out of the building feeling proud of her work and even holding herself back too.

Until....

"Heeheeheee....this feels nice"

There was a drunk student urinating into the once beautiful fountain in the middle of the courtyard outside the 4th year building.

"I want to burn this party down"
