An Unexpected Fact

"Where is the fourth slut!?"

"You said it was you who called us here. That's your damn problem! Spill it quickly. Our time is too precious for a small insect like you!

"Whatever. Then be sure to pass my words on to that bitch too. From today you will stay away from my beloved Johan... Or I will destroy all of you!"

.

There was dead silence for five seconds... And then an ugly smile appeared on Seraph, Azura, and Glitch's faces... Then they turned into tantalizing laughing... A few seconds later, there was annoying laughter there...

"HAH HA! HAH HAH HA!"

"HAH HA! HAH HAH HA HAH HA! HAH HAH HA!"

"HAH HA! HAH HAH HA HAH HA! HAH HAH HA! HAH HA! HAH HAH HA! Did you hear this idiot, girls!" Seraph started walking slowly towards the exit door. And then her two other minions, who continued to laugh...

Maria was not responding. She wasn't even looking at them. She was just staring at the floor with dead eyes as if giving up the struggle...

"Ah, little insect!" Before she left the room, Seraph turned one last time and called out to Maria, whose back was turned. "If you want so much, you can fight our toadies. But I'm not even sure you can beat them..."

They left the room after closing the door hard.

Alora had heard and perceived these last parts of the dialogues. But she still continued to experience an emotional breakdown in the room she was alone in.

At that moment she was not interested in Maria's problems. She was simply struggling with the pain of betrayal...of her best friends... Tears were slowly falling from her eyes as she was trying to suppress her emotions so that her sobs wouldn't be heard... by Maria... or anyone else...

She was biting her lips so hard with her teeth that a thin stream of blood was already starting down her chin. She was going through emotional hell...

.

<BAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!>

The door to the room where she was hiding in silence was slammed open. So much so that the door had already slammed against the back wall.

Alora, still unable to recover from her emotional turmoil, looked toward the door with tear-filled eyes.

Maria was looking at her with eyes that were just as dead, though full of hatred... "I hope you were able to hear all the conversations... Fake... Princes..."

Alora started to bite her lips even harder. Another enemy trying to destroy Alora had found her. She was trying to hold back her tears with hard swallows, gulping to hold back the sobs with hard bites...

"Let it go, Alora... You can relax, no one will come. I was the one who put that note in your pocket. We are alone now... And as I said to you before... I am not your real enemy..." The hatred in Maria's eyes had vanished.

"GHG..." Alora took her last swallow... And she lost all her strength, releasing all her contractions... "GWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" She started crying and screaming like a little girl...

Maria didn't do anything... And she didn't even look at her so as not to humiliate her while she was crying...

.

.

.

For the next few minutes, Alora's heartbreaking cries and shrieks continued... And then she stopped... She was only sobbing slightly now, and the tears continued to flow, little by little, though lessened...

"I think it's time for us to talk, Alora!"

Alora's emotional outburst completely stopped, and she too began to stare at Maria, who was staring at her with dead eyes...

"First of all, let me tell you this from the very beginning. I still hate you. Before summer vacation, I thought you and those bitches were trying to hurt every other poor girl and me in school..."

Hearing the word <poor>, Alora looked at Maria with mocking eyes, for she was as malicious as the others...

"Yes, Alora. I am also innocent in this story too! Remember when we first started school. Do you think I was like that at those times! I was a very kind and gentle one to everyone. But you tried to take my Johan away from me! It's not the first time I met Johan at this school. He is my childhood friend. And I've loved him ever since. And for the first time, I was able to be with him 6 months ago. It was then that he accepted my love for the first time." Maria, who was also overwhelmed with emotion, stopped abruptly and took a deep breath, and stared blankly.

Alora, meanwhile, began to think about her words. Yes, she was right. Maria was a very kind person in the beginning.

"And you four began to move. Before, you didn't even care about Johan's existence. However, after we started having a relationship, you started abusing him constantly. Just like you do with any other guy at school who has a girlfriend. You were confusing them all and destroying their relationship. And when you reached your goal, you were leaving those poor men alone. You weren't in a relationship with any of them. You were just a group that destroyed happiness. And you set your sights on my Johan..."

"I am not!" Alora involuntarily tried to defend herself because indeed she wasn't doing such things as the others.

"Shut up, Alora! And continue to listen to me! I was panicked and didn't want to lose Johan. But the four of you were very powerful enemies to me. Yes, I know you're a lonely person, but those other three have a pretty big army of jerks around. Therefore, I had to change my attitude towards Johan. And over time, things got so out of control that I realized I was treating him badly in public. I had no choice because every time I was nice to him, one of you was abusing him. And my carnal addicted boyfriend immediately was changing. And I lost everything I had this summer because of you!"
