Class Villainess

Kristen: What do you want from me?

—

What do I want from you? I wanted you to break down and break the facade that you created and maintained for years. You would be my very first victim on my list, and you deserved it, Kristen Suite.

You fucking manipulative demon.

Kristen: What do you want from me?

Helena: Hm? What do I want from you? Isn't it already obvious? I want you to give yourself to the police and confess all of your hideous crime that led me to hang myself.

—

Kristen didn't reply. Maybe she was just too shocked or too scared to reply, knowing that I had everything. 

Thus I closed this with few texts;

—

Helena: Sweet Kristen, are you trying to catch Cerise? Awww, too bad. I already told her that she should move to save herself first. 

Helena: You should've known that you're dancing in my hand now. There is no escape from me, Sweet Kristen. 

Helena: Enjoy your daily nightmare until I'm satisfied~

I turned off the phone and went to the class.

Kristen and I had a different class today, so I didn't meet her much. Which was quite unfortunate. I wanted to see her slowly descending into paranoia and madness. 

Times passed until it was lunch break, and I went to the cafeteria for lunch. I saw that Kristen was eating alone. There was no smile on her face, only pertaining gloom that could've been permanent.

She sat dazedly, so I patted her shoulder, "Kristen."

"HYAH!" Kristen jolted exaggeratedly as if she had been touched by a ghost. Kristen looked over her shoulder and smiled bitterly, "Sit with me, Em."

I sat with her and gave her my yogurt, "You need to eat something, Kristen. You only drank cola for lunch yesterday, and you only drink a bottle of water today."

"What's gotten into you? Is it Cerise? Do you need me to confront her as well?" I asked concernedly, trying to take her side.

Emmy chuckled mirthlessly, "Cerise is running away. I will find a way to find her, that b—"

I saw that Kristen's facade started to wear off. She didn't even bother to show me her usual angelic smile. She curled her lips as she almost cursed in front of me. 

"I'm still in the dark here, you know. I don't know what happened between you two, and suddenly things happen like this," I asked frustratedly. "I really want to help you…."

Kristen darted his eyes at me. I blinked few times. She stared at me for a good while and then asked, "Are you in Cerise's side or my side?"

"Huh? What kind of question is that? Of course, I'm on your side!" I exclaimed. "You've helped me when I was getting bullied by Jess, so I have to help you."

"Then, you trust me, right?" Kristen asked again.

I think… I knew where this conversation led to, and this was definitely what I wanted. Kristen was desperate enough that she wanted to use me instead. 

"Of course," I assured her. 

After Kristen was convicted, she sat closer to me, closing the distance between us. Then she whispered to my ear, "Cerise has a dirty little secret, and she wants to put the blame on me. Help me catch her, and I will definitely appreciate it."

"Em, you're my best friend. My most trusted friend right now…."

I almost smirked when she tried to twist the fact. But it wasn't really my problem because I will still taunt her until she broke down, and with Cerise's presence later… everything would be perfect.

"Then, what should I do? I will help!" I said enthusiastically. 

"You can call Cerise, tell her to return because of something urgent, and when she has arrived, we will catch her together. Don't worry, we won't do illegal stuff. I just want to ask few things about her. You won't get in trouble after this, I promise." 

"So… you want me to trap Cerise?" I asked, confirming her wish.

Kristen nodded, "You're my friend, right?"

I nodded obediently, like a good friend that I am, "Okay, anything for you, Kristen. Let's catch Cerise, that ungrateful girl."

Perfect, this setup was just perfect.
