Columbine 37
Columbine- foolishness, folly
purple- resolution
red- anxious, trembling
Isabelle's pov
I stepped out of the hall and into the lobby, there many people gathered anticipating the chance to meet me. The experience of people getting shy and anxious when they talk to me felt quite surreal. Many called me the greatest illusionist, to be honest, I don't see it. Light is easy to manipulate. I'm no prodigy, anyone could've done that performance.
I wandered over to where my class was waiting. No I am great, I've worked hard to be where I am, I deserve this. Scanning through their faces reminded me of why I loved doing this, it reminded me of why I do this.
"Hello," I said," You must be class 2-B from Edoka right?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
Sensei nodded, she seemed shocked at my presence," And w-what brings you to our small group?"
"Poindexter."
She looked at me confused.
"Ah never mind I'll just be leaving," I said, turning around. Someone grabbed my wrist, my heart stopped knowing it wasn't Saguru. I turned around slowly to look whoever it was in the eye.
It was Kuroba-kun, he stared me dead in the eye and grinned," No wonder they call you Rose, you're just as enchanting as one," He said, tucking a red rose behind my ear. The class gathered around as if they actually expected me to flirt back, Saguru looked like he wanted to intervene but was drawing himself not wanting to make a scene.
"I-I'm afraid you have the advantage, you know my name but I don't know yours."
"Kuroba Kaito," He said pulling me a bit closer, we were only ten centimetres apart," If you want I could give you my number."
Saguru took a step forward, I glared at him to try and say that I can fight my own fights, he nodded and backed off a little ways.
"Kuroba? Your Toichi's boy aren't you," I said, with fake interest," I idolized him growing up."
"Yeah I am."
"Good, that makes it easy for me," I said, removing the rose.
He looked back at me confused," Easy?"
"Oh you didn't know? I fight my battles psychologically, crawling into the mind of another and tearing them apart from the weakest point. So would you please let go of my hand, or need I elaborate?" I hissed.
He let go of my hand," I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, I didn't mean any harm I swear."
"For your information I consider myself married to my work," I tucked the rose back behind his ear," I have a feeling this won't be the only time we meet, so in the event of the future if you were ever to try something like that again, I will not hesitate, to make you regret the day you fucking opened your mouth."
"Feisty," Kaito replied with a wink.
"SECURITY!"
Kaito froze.
" I really hate to do this, but . . . What the Fuck?" I said as two guards approached me," Can you please escort these people out of the building?"
I hid amongst the crowd and joined my class once more, as myself.
"Aight, I'm back," I whispered to Hakuba.
"You know I can't believe he actually did that, the nerve," Hakuba said, shaking his head.
"If he does it again I'll bitch slap him across the face."
"You know, I was certain he liked Aoko," Saguru noted.
"Oh he does, his eyes dilate every time he sees her, he puts on a tough act around her as well. He's probably just trying to make her jealous or something. Aoko deserves better."
"Agreed."
