Hello! Here is the next chapter, I know it's pretty short, so Friday's update will be longer AND will explain some things! Hopefully you will like it!
Cerise locked the door behind her and lay in bed, she would avoid getting out of her room as long as she could.
"Hey" Cedar greeted "how's… everything going?" she said in her optimistic voice trying to cheer her up.
Cerise barely look up "Cedar… please tell me truth, do you believe all the rumors you heard?"
"What?" her roommate stuttered a little, she didn't want to get involved in any of it.
"About my family, about me, that I should be kicked out of school"
"Of course not!" she said honestly sitting on her bed to look at her "I only know that the book was a fake, because my glasses told me so, but I don't believe your mom would do such thing. I mean, her destiny was to stray away from the path, but I don't think she would take it that far"
Cerise sighted, that part was sadly true, but she couldn't tell Cedar that; the girl that couldn't lie was probably the last person Cerise could tell about her situation.
Cedar lay a hand on her shoulder "I only know that you are a good person, Cerise. And I can't lie, so you can take that compliment to heart" she grinned "I bet that by the end of the week, Blondie will find a new topic to keep the school occupied and they will forget all about this"
"I hope you are right"
"Hey, next Legacy Day is just around the corner, the rest of the students will sign their pages, I bet that they will focus all their attention into that, who knows if someone will pull a stunt like Raven did" she chuckled and Cerise felt a bit better to have someone to talk to.
Darling gazed at her phone for an entire minute without blinking, then she sighted and put it aside.
"Hey, Darling?" Rosabella called "you seem very…off, is something troubling you?"
"I… I'm fine" she lied writing down her Princessology essay.
"You know I can tell you aren't saying the truth"
Sometimes Darling forgot her roommate could see the true nature of people, their true colors "Sorry, but I rather not tell" she explained looking away.
Rosabella left her book aside and eyed her "Is this because we are signing our stories in a week and a half?"
"No" she thought it over "Partially" she admitted sighting "I just have some things to sort out, it will be alright"
"Is there anything I can do or say to help?"
Darling bit into her lower lip "Are you sure that what you saw was right?" she asked "There is no chance you made a mistake?"
Rosabella shook her head sadly "Sorry, but I saw it and I know that color and nature very well, there is no way I could have mistaken it" she said "Perhaps I shouldn't have told you"
"No, it's fine, it helped me to know the truth, but it won't make it any easier"
"Eventually all truth comes to light" Rosabella chanted resuming her reading.
"Yeah" Darling gazed outside her window "I guess you are right" she looked down "but that only makes it scarier"
