The Wrong Potion

Chapter Four

Beatrix slid into the seat beside Reena.

The Arabian princess looked up and flashed her friend a smile.

Beatrix felt her heart beat faster.

She'd never reacted to her smile like that before.

Why did their beautification professor have to be so good?

Ever since she realized how she'd felt, everything had gotten more difficult.

Everything had been so easy when she was in denial...

Because now she couldn't think about anything but how beautiful her friend was...

How had she never thought about this before?!

And, more importantly, why couldn't she think of anything else?

Reena frowned.

"Beatrix?" she asked, leaning closer to give her a worried look.

"Yeah?" she asked, feeling a bit nervous.

"Did you not hear me?" Reena asked, sounding nervous and frowning at her with a pout.

Beatrix tried not to think about how adorable that expression was on Reena's face was.

"Sorry, I got distracted," Beatrix said, trying to apologize with a smile she'd learned in school.

Reena stared at her for a moment and Beatrix felt her face turn a bit red.

"I was saying that this wedding was really nice. When I get married, I want something kind of like this."

Beatrix felt her heart skip a beat as she stared into her eyes.

"Umm, yeah, it was really nice. I'll, uh, remember that."

Since when had she ever stuttered?!

There was an awkward silence until a minutes later.

"Your eyes look really nice tonight," Beatrix said softly.

Reena blushed.

"T-thanks."

Kiko felt a searing pain on her wrist and looked down.

Beside her O, there was a new letter.

DO.
