[GL] I tamed the female lead

Chapter 59

I could feel the stares as soon as we walked in. Some people came up to me to congratulate me on the play and I thanked them with a smile but some others just stared with frowns. What was their problem? Seeing me look at them, Angie bent down towards me:

"Do you want them to stop?"

I shook my head:

"Let them look. I am especially pretty today."

I didn't care why they were staring and soon forgot about them walking to class. Maybe they were staring because of the play or maybe because Alastair finally announced our broken engagement. I knew they would talk anyway and if I could divert their attention from their boring lives then I was happy.

Of course Iris's friends glared at me the second I walked in and they stopped talking, clearly talking about me. They thought I would feel threatened but they looked so pitiful that I smiled. However the second Angie walked in, the girls stopped staring and quickly looked away. This was really irritating. I knew that Astéria was imposing but why couldn't they be scared of me like that too? I immediately turned towards Angie and frowned. Angie had already been looking at me and tilted her head:

"What is it?"

I pinched my lips and just looked away. I didn't do it on purpose but thinking that she did something wrong, Angie followed me to my table with worried eyes. She didn't dare ask anything and just stood there playing with her fingers. Remembering that she was there I tilted my head:

"Angie? What's wrong?"

Hearing me call Astéria by a nickname, Iris's friends immediately went back to whispering and I noticed that Iris was back among them. She looked really pale and seeing her frown, her face looked meaner than usual.

"What?"

Iris's friends shuttered but I walked up to them. I wasn't jealous but I wanted to be imposing too. Angie wasn't going to protect me forever. I wanted to be the one to protect her:

"What is so funny about what I said?"

Angie followed me from up close but I motioned for her to stay behind and she immediately stopped walking.

"If you have a problem tell me directly instead of whispering cowardly."

Iris took a step towards me and wanted to push me but Angie grabbed her arm. I didn't see when she walked up to us and just frowned. I was the one protecting her, not the other way around. I could take a small push, that was nothing for me. Angie's gaze was terrifying and Iris tried pulling her hand away but couldn't move an inch. She started shaking and seeing her face, I touched Angie's arm. The next second Iris was let go and she almost fell backwards being caught by her friends.

"You trained your dog well. It seems she does whatever you tell her to."

I felt my blood boil. Go, Angie! Kill her!

"She is not a dog, watch your words."

Iris really didn't seem well at all. Was she sick? She started sweating profusely and I could see her eyes being clouded by rage.

"Are you defending your girlfriend?"

I frowned. Was Angie supposed to be my girlfriend in this insult?

"I saw you two kissing!

-I don't know if you have hallucinations about me but you should really stop with your weird obsession. I am flattered, Iris, but I am not interested in you in that way. Or in any way for the record."

Iris's friends talked at the same time and I had no idea who to look at.

"During the play. That wasn't in the script was it? And everyone could see that it wasn't a false kiss.
