Reflection (Katarina x Ashe)

Reflection (School AU/Modern)

Books fell on the polished hall's floor with audible thuds while the sound papers swishing and flying in the air echoed and filled the ears of every student around the student that was shoved aside and out of balance. Loud and boisterous laughter flooded from the lips of the younger man between the two brothers walking along the Du Couteau siblings, the perpetrator feeling awfully proud at how the scrawny student crashed down to the floor with his things.

Those who were present in the hall apart from the bully's group murmured quietly among themselves, making sure they avoided eye contact from the group.

"You're in the way, punk." Draven said, not at all feeling apologetic at the turnout of his shove.

His older brother, Darius, who is also the captain of the basketball team, rolled his eyes but didn't bother helping the nerd-looking victim. He has a reputation to keep. Besides, he's not really really known for being the 'nice guy' in school.

At the basketball player's left, the three siblings merely glanced at the fallen student before they continued on their way down the hall, leaving the two brothers to deal with the situation, especially when the trio noticed a professor who witnessed everything. Once they turned around the hall, the youngest of the three began to voice out her thoughts.

"Looks like Draven will be a little late at the party later." Cassiopeia said, lightly laughing to herself as she recalled how they heard the professor's voice roar out their friend's voice just a moment ago.

"Draven?" Talon shook his head. "You forgot about Darius. With him staying with his brother, he'll surely share the blame. Willingly or not."

While Talon seem to be half-interested with their topic and Cassiopeia found amusement in it, their eldest sibling, Katarina, stuck with silence and had her gaze focused ahead of them. Uncaring towards the subject of their conversation, Katarina held absolutely no desire in joining the chatter.

Unfortunately for her, Cassiopeia has a few questions for her.

"Aren't you bothered with that?" The younger Du Couteau asked, briefly pointing her thumb over her shoulder.

"With what?" Cold and harsh. It was honestly unsurprising, since that's how she always spoke to people, family or not.

"With the bullying."

Katarina scoffed. "Why would I be?"

"Maybe because you were a bully yourself before you suddenly stopped."

"You even had a favorite student." Talon added, lips slightly curving as he recalled their high school days. "Do you still remember her?"

"White hair, blue eyes, pale skin," Cassiopeia described the person Talon was referring to. "she's albino, right? It's one of the reasons why she was teased by others in the first place."

"Not to mention the ridiculously round eyeglasses and her braces." The only male sibling between the three added with a quiet snicker.

Between the two conversing siblings, they were obliviously prompting annoyance in sprouting within their sister. The older redhead seemed to be affected with how mockingly the pair spoke about the girl they were describing. The same girl that Katarina had bullied for most of their high school years.

"She always did wear her hair up in that high and tight ponytail. Katarina loved pulling on it and causing her to lose balance." Cassiopeia recalled the appearance of the girl they spoke about, chuckling when she remembered a hilarious incident involving the mentioned ponytail. "What was her name again?"
