**school library**
'Hello girls.' A voice ahead ranged which make both Piper and Amethyst raise their heads to look at the person that just spoke.
'Oh Jasper, how are you?' Piper smiled while Jasper pick a seat opposite Amethyst.
'I'm fine and…. She must have been your friend.' He said, his gaze fixed on Amethyst all along.
'Yeah, oh Amethyst, meet my twin brother, Jasper and Jasper, meet my friend, Amethyst' Piper introduced while Jasper stretch out his hands for handshake.
'Jasper Hari' he said with a smile while Amethyst took his hand and shook it. 'Amethyst smith'
'You're pretty' he complimented while Amethyst smiled brightly.
'Thanks' she replied, trying to retract her hands but he was still holding onto her.
'Hmm-hmm, you have had enough shake Jasper, had you not?' Piper said with an insincere smile, snapping Jasper who was lost staring at her face out of the pool of daze he has partially fell into, indirectly telling him to release Amethyst's hand.
'Oh sorry' he apologized.
'So… where is James? I know you won't come here alone, did he branch anywhere?'
'He went to see his new girlfriend that was in the same department as you'
'Girlfriend! How! When? You said he is not seeing anybody, how all of sudden did he have a girlfriend?'
'Calm your goddamn nerves and accept the fact already, you like James.' He replied while Piper roll her eyes and look away.
'He was one of us, my friend too…
'He has no girlfriend. We were coming together but he forget something so he hurry to bring it back, he would soon be here…
'Hey Jasper!' a loud voice came from behind which make everybody turn back. James look down at his feet timidly as every gaze landed on him and he adjust his glasses before walking toward Jasper. He has forgotten not to shout in the library.
'Oh James, here you are, hi.' Piper said with a wide smile as she stretch out her hands for handshake while James sat down and shook her hands.
'Hi Piper, good to see you.'
'Meet my new friend, Amethyst and Amethyst, meet my brother's friend, James'
'Hi James' Amethyst waved with a smile. 'hi Amethyst' James waved back.
'Enough of the hi and hi whatever. So new friend, can you please tell us more about yourself? In here as a friend, we don't hide things away from each other, you are free to tell us anything. Who your boyfriend is, maybe you are crushing on someone or has someone been chasing you, if yes, who is he?...
'I'm right here, why look around for me?' a voice ranged from behind, interrupting Jasper who was still talking. They all raise their gaze to look at the person that just spoke only to see Orests and his friends walking toward them, his two hands in his pocket as always.
Amethyst heart skipped a beat.
Piper head tilt toward the entrance and she could see people rushing out of the library hurriedly.
Who would want problem for his or her life?
James shrieked as Orests place his hands on both his and Jasper's shoulder. His eyeballs dangled around and he grew more nervous, almost peeing in his pant. This monster has once bullied him. He felt miserable that he ran away from science department to art department. He even changed his room and tried his possible best not to appear wherever this man is. The library is not the place this monster come to recently, that was why he came. If he know he would be present here today, heaven knows he would not come, not even by mistake.
'Excuse me, I need to talk to my baby' he said while James stood up hurriedly and went out of the library. Jasper stood up reluctantly, a spiteful sneer at the corner of his lips as he walk out of the library.
'Not excluding you' he said referring to Piper though not looking at her. Piper knowing he is talking to nobody but her stood up and walk away. He pull out a chair for himself and sat opposite her.
'So… what are you reading my darling?' he asked and his hand move forward to grab the book that was in front of Amethyst. After staring for few minute, he drop the book, sigh and roll his eyes.
'Chemistry again, I guess that was why you know the name of that big chemical that was botulinum toxin antitode.' He said but Amethyst heart keeps drumming in her chest, violently.
His hands move forward and he hold her long fingers that was tiny unlike her slight chubby body her finger was soft as though she has never done any hard work in her life. He played with it for a while before intertwining his hands with hers.
'I want you to be my lady. You are so beautiful and I like that. I had told you earlier that day that… no is not an option. You would benefit in many ways if you say yes. Imagine walking among the student elegantly with their head bowed. 'The Orests lady is here, Akuma worldwide.' If you want anything in the school, you would get it effortlessly, just mention Orests Akuma. I gave you the opportunity to use my status and name anyhow, any day, anytime, anywhere as you like…. So weather you like it or not baby, you are MINE' he concluded, wink his eye and stand up. He blew a kiss just before walking out of the library.
Amethyst gaze escort him as he walk out of the library and her brow creased as she pick up her cloth to clean her hand that he just hold.
That bastard arrogant bully cannot even talk politely. Imagine wanting to woo a lady but is still acting arrogant. What did he take himself for?
She did not even like him from here to a step above and he was telling her that no is not an option. It make her a bit scared. What if he hurt her if she reject him?
Is it even by force to love?
This Orests problem keep bringing problem to her life that she wonders if the word 'problem' would leave her life.
