Shadow Author

With my actions being perfectly timed just as I finished unlocking everything I wanted, the students started pouring in.

I already knew how the class would be handled and since I learned everything I needed yesterday I decided to go over to the wall where all the weapons were.

I passed by all the others to arrive in front of the swords. Randomly selecting one from the front I held it up and checked how it felt.

With my improvement in Weapon Comprehension, it seemed that I not only knew of ways to use the sword but also on determining its quality.

After swinging it back and forth I was satisfied enough. The quality definitely wasn't low but I could tell that it was uneven. But that was to be expected, there were hundreds of swords available for the students to practice with so they couldn't all be perfect.

Knowing it would take a few minutes for the last of the students to trickle in and for Miss Smith to pick the teams I went back to the wall I was resting against a few minutes ago.

Putting the sword down next to me I sat with my back to the wall and closed my eyes.

Although it would only be for a few minutes I decided to use Mana Breath while I was waiting.

By training constantly I could continue to improve myself. Plus there wasn't anything else to do in the meantime.

However just as I activated the skill I could feel a presence sitting down next to me.

I already knew who it was so I didn't bother to cancel the skill or open my eyes.

Thankfully the girl didn't interrupt me and sat silently next to me. I did take notice that she barely left a small enough space for our shoulders not to touch.

Three minutes later and with an additional 0.03 magic added to my stats I finally opened my eyes as I knew something interesting would be happening.

While I was using Mana Breath I also decided to test out 3rd Person POV and for the next hour, I found out things would be quite unpleasant for me.

Just as I opened my eyes two students entered the classroom. For the past few minutes, there was a constant stream of kids entering but these two were the only ones who caught my attention.

Pushing open the steel door I saw the silhouette of a beautiful young girl who had pitch-black hair, green-colored eyes, a cute face, and fair skin. Her short hair was straight and reached down to her shoulders.

Beside her was a man I knew all too well. With dark brown hair that reached his eyebrows that were split off to the side and a slightly handsome but masculine face, he entered the room confidently.

I instantly locked my eyes on his light blue ones that were looking at the girl next to him.

The duo was none other than Willow and Elijah.

Currently, Elijah must have said a joke because Willow was practically throwing herself at him while laughing.

Their intimate moment was ruined when Elijah took his eyes off Willow and locked them on me.

I broke contact immediately as a single glance from him caused me to shudder.

I watched as Willow dropped her arms that were hung around Elijah's shoulders while glaring at me.

Feeling that the two wanted nothing more than to devour me while I turned my attention to the glossy floor. It looked particularly skinny today.

I put on some chapstick while trying to go unnoticed and the person next to me cursed under her breath. Although it was quiet I heard it easily.

"Bitch."

I nodded my head.

'She really is a bitch. Who goes after their friend's ex-boyfriend the day they break up?'

Though I didn't dare to say anything aloud, not that I could anyway as I was quite literally the one who stole the girl from someone who already had a boyfriend.

'Ahhh, drama, this is why I never went to school and instead opted to write novels.'

Unfortunately for me, the drama was just starting as Charlotte made a big mistake.

Recalling the scene from my vision of the future Willow was somehow able to hear what Charlotte said and caused a huge commotion.

"What did you just say skank?"

'Yep here we go.'

Just as I had predicted Willow shouted from across the room directing her anger at the person next to me.

'Who are you calling a skank? Skank.'

"Who are you calling a skank? Skank."

'The one who cheats on her boyfriend with a nobody in a public space for some twisted form of ecstasy.'

"The one who cheats on her boyfriend with a nobody in a public space for some twisted form of ecstasy."

I knew each of their sentences before they even spoke it thanks to my ability, but even then I knew there was no way to stop the coming shitstorm.

"I didn't cheat, we were found innocent! Yet you're throwing yourself at my boyfriend!"

'Ex-boyfriend, come on I'm sitting right next to you.'

But I didn't say anything. I knew better than to throw myself into a catfight.

"If he's still your boyfriend then why are you still with that loser? Are you trying to go after both?"

'Loser? Ouch.'

"No, and Lucas is not a loser!"

'You tell her Charlotte!'

"Oh, so you still want to date Elijah?"

"…"

"See! You really are a skank! Vermin should stick with vermin!"

"Fuck you, Willow!"

'Now for the crescendo.'

Just as Willow and Charlotte were about to fight, Elijah decided to step in.

'Although I made him a highly intelligent character, he does some really stupid things.'

"Girls we should calm down before—"

"Shut up Elijah!"

"Shut up Elijah!"

Both the girls whipped their heads to yell at Elijah causing him to raise his hands and back off.

'Yeah, you did so much to fix the situation.'

Having their vigor reenergized the two went back to arguing.

"Did you even like Elijah? How heartless do you have to be to cheat on someone? Just break up."

"I told you I didn't cheat!"

"Then why are you still with him!"

Willow pointed right where I was sitting and everyone's eyes locked on me.

'Sigh, this girl is so troublesome.'

Knowing what I had to do I turned my body to face Charlotte and just as she was about to retort I took action.

"Because—"

Tilting her head I pushed our lips together shutting her up.

Gasps could be heard and jaws dropped open.

I didn't care what the others thought as I raised my hand to hold Charlotte's cheek and deepen the kiss.

I didn't open my mouth out of fear of future retaliation from Charlotte and because I knew I would be bad at it. After all, this was my first kiss.

Once it started getting hard to breathe I broke the kiss and used the hand I had raised to pull Charlotte into an embrace.

After I had her head buried in my chest I turned my head to look Elijah right in the eyes.

"She's mine."
