章節 10: 10. End of Scene 1
The female lead became sober again.
She sighed sadly, "I'm really sorry and thank you." Before turning around to face Paige on the top of the stairs.
"I'm really sorry to you too for the coffee." She mumbled.
"You could have been dead!" The girl whose Frappuccino was the beginning of this drama stormed a few steps down.
Accusingly glaring at Paige,
"I have heard about you, Paige, right? But pushing someone down the stairs, even the principal's goodwill cannot help you!"
The girl, being a tall, short-haired blonde, was the female white knight of this novel. When she later couldn't save the female lead on her and the male lead's journey to insanity, she took her own life. Till the end, she was there for the female lead so many times and with such vigor that a few speculated online about a secret girls' love plot.
And their friendship/unrequited love story started with this scene! It was she who had to tie her shoelaces in the corridor near the top of the stairs, grabbing a new student and asking her to hold her coffee for a moment. Then the female lead stumbled.
This scene was also the shifting of 'Paige the tyrannical bully' to 'Paige the tyrannical bully who couldn't be tolerated anymore.'
A few students nodded at what had been said. They had been too scared, and Paige hadn't gone overboard before, not like now.
But her scene was not over; with a wooden face, Paige answered,
"So all bitches flock together. Not only did she ruin my shirt, she even let a little dog bark for her."
It was, again, so woodenly recited that everyone had to pause for a moment. She would soon be finished and could go to sleep in the classroom.
Being exasperated, the tall girl wanted to counter when Paige "looked" the "first" time at Lance and started blinking strangely.
Lance asked himself what she was doing, but figured it should be the "love-at-first-sight" plot.
Even Eve, the blond knight, was brought out of it, asking, "Do you have something in your Eye?"
Paige decided that it was time to end this, ignored her, and asked,
"What's your name?" This time it was not as monotone.
"Lance," Lance answered, shrugging.
"Hi. Don't believe these bitches. They want to frame me." Now woodenly again. Lance thought that maybe she became like this every time she recited lines she wouldn't say in real life?
Natasha looked at Lance with stars in her eyes.
"I'm Natasha; are you new here too?"
Lance nodded.
She asked, "Then should we go to the principal together for the administration?"
He nodded again, then winked at Paige—first scene wrapped up perfectly.
"Do you know each other?" Eve asked after looking at the blazer on Paige.
"No." Both answered simultaneously, looking a bit suspicious.
"Then can you help testify to the principal?" Eve asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
'That was not in the plot,' Paige thought.
Originally, the male lead was trying to make a cold withdrawal, but it was too hard, so he lived on small amounts of drugs he bought with the money from pickpocketing. He was under the influence when this scene played, so maybe he didn't look reliable enough for Eve to take him as a witness?
Though the female lead didn't notice his addiction until the later stages of their relationship. After the staircase scene, the other students made a circle around the bully, but the principal knew only a few days later about what happened because of a few complaints and Eve, who pressured the principal.
Now, being a sober male knight, the female knight had found an ally and wanted to take action right at that moment.
Paige asked the system, and after getting a positive answer, she nodded lightly at Lance.
Lance understood that the plot had changed, as this was not in their rehearsal. So he languidly followed Eve and Natasha, who both didn't even look at Paige, while feeling that for the first day, they didn't do too badly.
