Part 6
It was just...how could he...what the hell was the matter with him? Tyche stared after Cassanova in disbelief as he pushed past her. Her gaze moved to the human he'd been eyeing. Typical girl next door. Who the hell would rather have a doormat, a *vermin* doormat for that matter, than a Drache Princess such as herself.
She stomped moodily to her next class. She didn't hear a word the human teachers said all afternoon. She was too angry.
Cassanova was in love with a *vermin* girl. At least on the bright site, the vermin girl didn't seem very interested in him.
"What's up with you? Is Cassanova's madness catching?" Ceres asked, catching up with Tyche as she left the school building.
"Hardly," Tyche snapped. "He's in love with a *vermin* bitch."
"Didn't we already establish that this morning?" Ceres pointed out, talking out a pair of sunglasses and slipping them on.
Tyche didn't say anything. They had mentioned it, after Nemesis had told them about the rose in the locker. She just hadn't wanted to believe it.
"And after the way he acted at lunch?" Ceres said. "You're believing it now?"
Tyche nodded. "That doesn't mean I'm going to accept it." She scowled. No vermin was going to take her boyfriend and get away with it. Whether she showed interest in him or not.
"Why don't you just hook the vermin girl up with someone else, then Cassanova can't obsess about her?" Ceres suggested as they headed to Tyche's car.
That would just make him even more likely to obsess. He would just kill the guy she hooked the vermin bitch up with.
"What are we talking about?" Nemesis said as she joined them, getting into the passenger seat of Tyche's car without being asked.
"Tyche's upset because Cassanova's fallen for vermin," Ceres said, getting in the back with a roll of her emerald eyes.
"Easy solution there," Nemesis said as Tyche got in and started the engine. "Kill the vermin, and him while you're at it."
Tyche didn't say anything. Kill the vermin girl...if Cassanova figured out she knew, then he was smart enough to guess that was the first thing she would do. As for killing *him*...he'd broken Night World law, was in love with a human...
"Does the girl even know?" Ceres asked.
"I don't think so," Tyche said, turning out of the school parking lot.
"So what's the big deal?" Nemesis pointed out, inspecting her reflection in the mirror in her sun visor. She fluffed her raven her.
"If this was your boyfriend, how would *you* react?" Tyche snapped.
Nemesis pushed up the sun-visor. "Get a new boyfriend."
Tyche's eyes rolled. It wasn't like she could talk to Cassanova about th9is. She didn't know if she wanted to give him up or not. Making him jealous was a possibility that didn't sound *too* bad to her? What could it hurt?
