A/N Making any excuse to write Amanda


Diana refused to admit that she was jealous.

But the feeling etching its way into her heart, a deep, unpleasant feeling that was slowly, steadily filling throughout her body like a bath filling with water was making it hard to argue otherwise. She continued to watch from where she was situated, blue eyes glazing over two occupants that had failed to notice her arrival. Too busy with their teasing banter to acknowledge that she had been waiting there, patiently for a good five minutes.

She decided enough was enough when the taller of the pair threw a carefree arm around the others shoulder, the two sharing a laugh until a slight cough disturbed whatever it was they were doing.

"Diana?" It was Akko Kagari that noticed first, the arm around her shoulder tightening its hold as the owner flared a bright grin in Diana's direction; causing the platinum blonde to raise a elegant eyebrow and glare.

Amanda O'Neil, the thorn that just wouldn't leave.

The fiery haired witch made sure that every movement she did would drive Diana completely insane. And the talented girl hated to admit that it worked a good majority of the time. "What are the two of you up to?" She made the wise decision to ignore those teasing bright green eyes, choosing instead to keep her soul focus on Akko.

Amanda noticed this however, and it only made her grin widen. "Heh, me and Akko were engaging in a conversation." Diana noticed the failed attempt in which the taller girl tried to mimic her accent.

"We are looking for The Words." Akko added, seeming to be completely oblivious towards the increasing intensity the other two were slowly building. "If I find all of them then maybe I will have the chance to see Shiny Chariot!" The brunette's red eyes glimmered at the mention of her idol, her lips twitching upwards at having the chance to one day meet the red headed witch.

Diana tried not to scoff. She really did wonder what went through the girls mind sometimes. "And should you not get what you desire? What then?"

"I won't stop." Even Amanda was surprised to hear such a tone come from Akko. Usually when addressing Chariot she would bellow out to her hearts content. To hear so leveled and calm was certainly a change of pace.

"Well," Diana was the one to break the sudden silence that had fallen between the three. "Whatever you may chose to do, just make sure that it will not disturb the other students who care about their education."

"Tsk, once again we have Diana Cavendish treating us like criminals. Would it kill ya to give us even a little hint of respect." Removing her arm, Amanda pointed an accusing finger towards the platinum blonde. "Or is that high n' mighty ass of yours too proud to even do that?"

That certainly got a scoff. "I will give respect to those who deserve as such."

The taller witch baked out a laugh. "Nah, I just think you're a suck up." She found herself stalking forward without her knowing, her grin returning as she continued to bite back. Whoever said Amanda was all bark certainly hadn't seen her around the young Cavendish.

Akko, still stood on the sidelines, continued to watch with wide eyes. She had no idea how to stop the obvious disaster unraveling itself in front of her. "Uh… guys?"

"That clearly shows your inability to understand ones actions." The platinum blonde also found herself stalking closer towards her 'nemesis', any jealousy that may have been in her system was pushed aside, anger taking a hold of the reins. Her blue eyes glared daggers at the other witch, yet, somehow, she found Amanda's eyes to be… endearing. The fiery haired witch had always adorned arguably the most unique pair of green jewels that displayed her untamed nature.

Ugh, what was she thinking right now.

"I'll show you Cavendish." It didn't take much to set Amanda off.

"Guys!"

Stepping between the arguing witches, Akko stretched her arms out to her sides as if she could physically control their actions. At least it worked in stopping Diana; Amanda, however, wasn't so easy. "Get outta' my way Akko!"

"No." Red met green as Akko stared Amanda down, something that wasn't so easy considering the dancer was much taller than she was. It was a good thing Akko was as stubborn as they come. "You need to stop arguing."

Clearly not wanting to listen to the voice of reason, Amanda huffed and crossed her arms; she drew her gaze back towards the platinum blonde, almost growling at the talented witch. "Tsk, fine, fine." She took a step back, not even trying to hide her barely contained anger.

"It is a good thing one of you has control." Diana flipped her hair behind her shoulder. "You need to get that anger of yours under control, O'Neil."

"Uh-huh." The response was short, quick. The fiery haired witch evidently just wanting to end the conversation before her wand, or even her fists, became involved. "Keep your mouth shut and we won't have a problem, Cavendish."

Akko sighed, she doubted these two would ever change their behavior around each other. Honestly, as long as they don't kill each other, Akko didn't really mind. After all she often found herself in the same position when it came to Diana.

"Ugh, whatever. I'll see ya round, Akko." The taller witch grinned at the brunette, ruffling her hair before she decided to leave. Making sure to hold Diana's gaze as she walked by.

Those eyes are really something. Diana was quick to clear such thoughts. Her eyes returning to Akko, straightening out the hair Amanda had messed up. "I will never understand why you spend time with that girl."

Akko smiled at the other witch, "she really isn't bad once you get to know her." The feeling of the others fingers running through he hair brought wonders.

"I highly doubt that."
