I Swear, I Am Not A Cinderella |Book 2- The Fairytale Academy|

Chapter 25: |I'm Yuki, The Fox Spirit And Please Forget Me! |

"Anastasia, is everything alright? Anastasia..? Anastasia!!? "

His strained voice immediately brought me back to reality. But, I was not alright at all.

Alice's seemingly innocent sarcasm pricked deep into my heart and I couldn't continue the conversation any longer in this state.

If anyone else had been in a situation like me I am positive they would break down and cry right in front of Zeno's hologram but, since I was a Nobel brought up by my mother I controlled my emotions as tightly I as can.

My eyes stung with tears but, I smiled gently at Zeno in a reassuring manner.

"Ah.. Yes Zeno.. My roommate had just come in. She was telling me the dorm lady informed to us before that our dinner time had been advanced to 5 minutes from now. So, I must probably go now.. See you soon.. "

I said as naturally as I could as though my deficiency in lying was completely gone. But, I had to force myself in this situation.

I cannot let Zeno know about my real situation at all cost. He is more crafty and calculative than one might imagine. The fact of how he made two of his maids to enter the most prestegious dorm school and even how he made Auntie Maleficent as the school's principal through his 'connections'..(Though no-one even the royals couldn't suspect this) Just like he had said a few moments back already proves it.

I know though Zeno looks seemingly very innocent with his Squads he could almost do anything. I should absolutely make no room for doubt on his mind.

"Oh.. Yeah, it's almost dinner time now at the dorm, right? .. See you later, Anastasia-chan. "

Luckly, it's seemed Zeno hadn't caught on and he said goodnight in a sweet voice and the hologram soon snapped close.

I let out a deep breath that I didn't know I held in and sat up from my bed.

I clung my chest.

I felt a bit light minded that I had managed Zeno but, recalling the words that Alice had just said..

My eyes soon turned blotten and red again.

Unsurprisingly enormous balls of tears rolled down my cheeks like a water spring.

Alice was nowhere inside the room. But, her strong painful words her disgusted expression and her extremely rude sarcastic tone still lingered on my mind.

'Eh... Playing with other men just like rumored. What a whore.. I wonder what kind of man is trapped inside her clutches this time.. '

A whore.. I am actually called as a whore for talking with a man I like..

And, I have certainly not caught that man inside my clutches like a demon everyone thinks I am!!

What is wrong with me..?

I am a normal girl just like them. Why, I have a different character that is not really appealing yes.. But, does that mean I should not live a life like a normal person..?

Can't I fall in love..? Is it.. Wrong that I love that player prince..?

Why must I be hurt like this..?

What did I do to deserve all this..??

-A life where I do not get acknowledgd as a person..

-An insecure lover who always seems to be with other women..

-A school where I am constantly ridiculed and bullied.. Both mentally and physically..

I wiped the sort off my nose and rubbed my messy eyes but, my tears just wouldn't stop at all..!
