That Fair Maiden
Chapter 9
Pucca had made the final decision. She was going to straight up confront Estelle. She's going to tell her that she still loved Garu and that their break up was a huge mistake. She wanted to tell her to stay the hell away from her love. She wanted to scream and shout! Of course, Pucca didn't have a fit with Estelle. During math class that morning, Pucca pulled Estelle away from fraction problems to her desk. "Wassup, Pucca?" asked Estelle, coolly. 'Listen, Estelle—" Pucca started. "Whoa there! Call me Estie. Estelle is way to formal. Anyways, go on," Estelle gestured. Pucca had a look of sarcasm on her face. "I don't want to call you Estie! Just listen, Estelle. I don't like—no, I HATE the way you flirt and practically cling onto my boyfriend!" Pucca exclaimed. A couple of people around them started to glance over to their quiet dispute. "Boyfriend…OH! You mean Garu? He's not your boyfriend, Pucca. And I don't flirt with him, NOR do I cling onto him. Where the hell are you getting this idea from?" asked Estelle, clearly confused. She kicked her black lace up booted feet onto Pucca's desk, "Now, listen—"
"NO! You listen, Estelle! Stay away from Garu, okay? I love him and you don't! Now, just STAY. THE. HELL. AWAY!" screamed Pucca. This time, the whole class went quiet and they turned her way. "Pucca? Estelle? Is there a problem?" asked their teacher. "Nope, just excited about fractions, daddy-o!" replied Estelle. The class returned to their activities. "Pucca, think what you want. You're only hurting yourself," said Estelle. Without another word, Estelle swung her long legs off of the desk and walked over to Garu. Pucca watched from a distance as they laughed and joked around, blowing chalk dust on one another. Pucca had done something terribly wrong.
The play is taking place tomorrow! Rehearsals took place during school time and students were pulled out of class to practice. Pucca had to attend every practice, just in case something happened to Estelle and she had to fill in. She already thought about having something tragic happen to Estelle, but what's the point? Garu would be at her side. Pucca was sitting cross-legged on the floor, not paying any attention to the play, picking at her nails. Then, it was time for the kiss scene. This was the first time the kissing scene was ever rehearsed! Garu and Estelle have never practised before and they were going to find out just how intensifying it is. Just as the two leaned in, the bell rang for lunch and everyone cleared the room. Pucca glanced over and saw Garu kiss Estelle anyways, on the cheek. Pucca's anger boiled. She should be the one he is kissing!
"So, what happened, today?" asked Ring-Ring over the phone. "Well, I confronted her today and bitched her ear off about how she should stay away from Garu, but it's no use, "replied Pucca, solemnly. "Aww, I'm sorry, sweetie! What does he see in her anyway?" asked Ring-Ring, voice dripping with sympathy. "I just don't know! Maybe I'm over looking her. She's just so pretty! And despite her slacking off, she's super intelligent and way funny. She knows how to connect with him and she looks like she's done this a million times before! I just don't know what to do!" Pucca's voice broke and she started to silently weep. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Pucca pulled a black pillow close to her and hugged it. "Pucca, please don't cry! Just give it some time. He's going to realize she's not for him and only YOU are for him! Pucca please stop crying…" said Ring-Ring, not bearing to her friend break down. After ten minutes, Pucca seemed to have calmed down and she could start talking again. "Ring-Ring, I love Garu. What have I done?"
