It's been 4 days now, Cassandra hasn't come out of her room. We kept visiting her..but she would only talk to me behind the door...ranting,asking me a lot of question,what she would do now after all this..her plans, everything.. it's shattered because of the prince's decision.. but most importantly..how can she face Anna.. she doesn't blame her anymore..but she really thinks that everything that just happened will make it awkward for them, I just told her to wait until she's ready...

It's was lunch time. Me,Anna,and Tom are eating in the usual place where we eat our lunch..it was when the dumbass of a prince approach us along with his personal guard.. a guy with purple hair trying to talk to Anna

"Anna..please, can we talk"

Anna would not even look at her..we known that she has feeling for him still.. but she also can't forgive him.. love is annoying..

"Anna ple-"

"Can't you see that she doesn't want to" Thomas suddenly stand up to confront the prince "can you just, give us some space here would ya your highness?"

"How dare you speak up to the prince like t-"

"Pull that out and find out..." I said before that guard of his pull out his sword of his..my hand already on mine

"Stop it Anthony " the prince stop his guard from doing so "I just wanted to talk to Anna, no need to get blood on your sword"

"Scaring us? Using your authority as a prince so you can order us around? Typical" I said before continuing eating my food, everyone that is around is watching... They knew the prince... And they knew our group... Now only did everyone know I took down a minotaur..they also knew me and Thomas dealt with assassin and survive...so everyone.is very tense, ready to call a teacher anytime

But it seems what I said affected the prince's peanut brain.. "then..when she's ready" he leaves us alone

Anna looking down before she look at me and Tom "sorry..you two are caught into this.. this is..this is my problem, and I know I need to talk to him..but I can't..not now"

"You don't have to say sorry! Look! You can take your time" Tom sat down "we will be here for you alright?"

She smiles "thank you" then looking at me "are you going to visit her again?"

"Yeah.. I can't help it, I'm the only person she talks too"

"Then please, tell her that I really want to talk to her! I want to fix our relationship.. I want to stay friends..even if it's hard"

I smile, she truly is the kind and easy to like protagonist of this story

"Don't worry, I'm always saying that to her anyways"

After classes I went towards Cassandra's dorm.. The supervisor of the dorm, a sweet old lady already knew me well enough that she gave me two packs of cookies to share with Cassandra... She is also very worried..since she's not coming out of her room, tho she's happy enough that she's eating the food she's giving her. After all that I went at the 3rd floor and right at the last room at the corridor on the left

Knocking on it "hey, it's me again. I also have cookies" I wait for it to open up..hoping..but it didn't..not this time eh? So I sat down resting my back on the door

"Just like before, the other two are freaking worried at you as always.. it's been days now..shouldn't it be the right time to finally come out?"

"I dunno.." she answered

"Come on, at least talk to the other two, it's hard to relay messages you know" I jokingly said, but no reaction ". . . . . You have sense of humor at all"

"So, how's the others? Besides the worrying part"

"You would know if you actually come out yes? But sure.. Anna is still having a hard time with all of this, Thomas is being protective of her and trying to lighten up the mood..but failing miserably"

"That sounds just like him"

Then there's a long...very long.. Awkward silence.. "hmm... Anymore question? Time by time you slowly have few rants about the prince..you know you can still do that right? You know..cuss him or something.. I know it's might get us in trouble for cussing at a member of the royalty but come on.. it's the prince.. what a douchebag right?"

Then there's no reply..seriously why am I even talking to her..at first I just listen to her rants and giving some advice ...sometimes questionable.. but now..I'm the only one talking

"Look, it not gonna ta-" then she opened the door..with me resting my back on it making me fall back and hitting my head "fuuu- oww... You could've warn me first"

"S-sorry.. I didn't know your resting your back on it.."

I sat down again and sigh, before smiling..

She looks a mess...wearing casual clothing, and her hair..let's just say it's unkept

"Finally ready?"

"Yes...though..I will need your help with it tomorrow, I also need to..you know.. have an alone time with Anna"

"You sure your not gonna stab her?"

"No, but I will stab you for even saying that stupid thing"

"Sorry..can I enter your room? My butt hurts from sitting in this wooden floor everytime, the nice old lady also gave me cookies.. we just need tea..let's talk about it more inside alright?" I stand up

"Alright..."

Then the door closed...
