A sudden confession... All I can do is stare right at her blushing face, I don't know what to say.. how?why? When?? Me!?

And because of my lack of reaction because of the surprise, Cassandra stood up "j-just forget about what I just said!" She exclaimed and run off

"W-wait! Cassandra st-" She didn't even heard me..she run so fast for someone who wears a dress

___________________

When the festival had ended, class resumes... The confession still lingering in my head..but what's worse is.. Cassandra seems to be  avoiding me

She greeted everyone but not me.. she's not talking to me, heck she's even not looking at me.

When the classes ended she just went out of the classroom without saying anything...

I was just looking at the door...thinking..Then a sound of hands smashing onto my desk snaps me back

"Desmond! Did you do something!?" Anna seems to be angry..or at least..trying to?

"I-I didnt do anything!"

"Then why is Cass avoiding you!?"

"I'm also as confused as you!"

Thomas just look at us as we argue, and shortly decided to speak "you should talk to her dude"

"Yes! Desmond, you have to speak with her!" Anna ordered

"Okay okay! Fine! Jeez!"

Then Anna just went back to her usual smiley self "good"

And so I stand up and try to find Cassandra. Also, I think we start to rub off Anna... Would that be bad if this world's protagonist to become chaotic? Just imagining the future saintess shouting..it's kinda scary

Not long I would spot Cassandra walking alone

I rush towards her and gently grab her by her shoulder with my right hand "hey.."

Just hearing my voice made her jump "D-Desmond!?" She not looking at me at all

I sigh and make her face me"Come on, your making Anna angry towards me, can't we just talk about th-" her face is red.. very red, seeing her like this made my heart skip a beat for a second

She looks away "w-why are you here?"

"Because you're ignoring me"

"Hahahaha do I? I mean-"

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"It's because- uhh..I-"

"Hmmm?"

"I'm embarrass!!!! Okay!?" She suddenly shouts "and it's all your fault!"

"Huh? How is it my fault!?"

"It's because!- because!"

"Your the one who confesses you know!?"

Total silence....that sentence that came from my mouth shut us up both

"It's the reason I'm embarrass you moron...I-I never done that in my life! I- I just thought- I never confess my feeling fot the prince back then and I lost him....then this..this feelings for you.. I think that if I never say it to you, then I'll forever regret it...but I didn't know that it would give me this.. pressure!"

Wait...she never say anything to the prince?..is the villainess just? A extremely shy type?

"Pff-"

"N-now your laughing at me! I can't believe you! I'm in distress you know! You moron!"

"I know..I know..sorry, I deserve getting called as that"  I first calm my self after laughing a bit too much  "let's sit down first"

And we sat down a bench and continue our conversation

"You really don't think I'm a horrible person??"

"Hmm? " Come to think of it.. she did ask me about.. yeah "is it about your feelings for the prince?"

"Yes.. I know that I have spoken about it to you many time before..and now suddenly I confessed that I have feelings for you..it's weird isn't it?"

"Well..I don't think so, I'm not qualified to say anything about this but.. the human feeling is a complicated one"

"So you don't think I'm a horrible woman?"

"No"

"Really?"

"Mhm"

Then another long pause..before Cassandra spoke again

"I like you"

"I'm aware..."

"Because.. you are there for me in my time of need, you helped me..saved me from danger.. and someone I can genuinely trust and rely on.. and..I can't stop thinking about you for..I don't know when"

Hearing all of this..is making me embarrass my self , I can feel my face heating up from the embarrassment.. but everything that she said made me think.

Why did I go so far on helping her? Why did I feel mad when the prince did something horrible to her? Why do I feel like- ..did I really? Did I really feel for her? The villainess- no, Cassandra?

Looking at her right now.. she looks like a start shining..shimmering in a night sky..something that I want to look at for a very long time

". . . . *Sigh*" that's it.. is that why I'm denying it? Because I knew all along that she is in love to the prince? "Cassandra...I" she's is correct to doubt everything.. I'm partially at fault as well

When I called her name..she finally looked at me

"I also like you"
