Chapter 138 - Mary Steals From Seri

After class, everyone gathered in the student council room per usual. Like always, Seri was taking her time getting to the room.

If one had to guess, they would most likely find Seri breaking into the school kitchen to steal the left over cakes. Seri's uncontrollable desire for sweets was possibly her hidden talent.

How can she steal cakes to eat, then come to the student council room to enjoy the snacks Mary made?

How could she still be so thin despite constantly shoveling sweets into her mouth?

These were the kind of questions that would go unanswered.

Although, her ability to consume many calories was probably due to the fact that she was extremely hyper. Even though she took naps constantly, whenever she was awake, she acted as if she didn't even know the definition of subtlety.

William had tried to correct this behavior, but quickly gave up. Seri was the kind of person no one could control. It was probably her charm... If you could call it that.

Mary flew into the student council room and slammed the door behind her. She stood against the door with a panicked expression. Everyone looked up after hearing her burst into the room.

Her eyes moved rapidly around the room, "Seri's not in here?"

William shook his head calmly, "She's not here yet. Knowing her, she's probably arguing with the chef about not leaving her enough cake."

Mary's lip trembled, "I... I did something bad."

William sat back with a indifferent expression, "What? Did you forget to make her snacks or something?"

Mary's eyes teared up more, "Worse."

Millie's eyes widened as if she was just now interested in the conversation, "What can be worse than forgetting her snacks?"

Mary slammed down a journal on the table. She shouted in a despondent tone, "I stole Seri's diary!!"

Everyone quickly looked at the journal on the table in curiosity. The cover read: Open and die!

William frowned at the messy handwriting that had a terrifying appearance, "Well that's definitely her handwriting..."

Artie looked at her, "Why do you have Seri's diary?"

Mary sighed, "Well... I was in her room last night watching her sleep- I mean- I was checking to make sure she was alright after hearing some strange sounds. Before I left, I noticed this laying on the floor. Out of curiosity I picked it up. Just then, she started waking up! So I ran out of the room in a hurry!"

She looked down guiltily, "I just so happened to still have her diary in my hands... I couldn't return it because it would be too embarrassing..."

Millie frowned, "You were watching her sleep?"

Mary's face turnt red, "No!! I was just... Checking to make sure she was safe..."

No one believed her.

Mary spoke quickly, "Anyway! What should I do?!"

They all turned their attention to their book. Artie frowned, "We can't open it... Right?"

Millie frowned, "If you read it, then Seri will probably end up hating everyone." Her face twitched and broke into a chilling smile. She giggled madly as she imagined having Seri to herself.

Dante glared at her, "It's obvious that you want her to hate us."

Millie's face twitched having been caught, "I'm just pointing out the truth."

Lucius looked at it, "Well I for one don't care if she hates me. I think we should read it."

Artie shrugged, "We should be fine if she doesn't notice. Right?"

They all glanced at each other. Artie quickly grabbed the book and flipped it open. Everyone ran to stand behind him to have a look at the diary.

Artie read, "My OTPs..." He looked at the others, "What's that mean?"

William frowned, "Who knows. She usually talks nonsense."

Artie shrugged and flipped the next page. There was a crudely drawn image of two people.

Artie frowned, "What is this? An elephant?"

Millie looked at it closely, "I think it's a person."

Mary pointed, "Oh! There's writing with it."

Artie read it off, "The original novel revised by Seri. There once was a maiden pure of heart who brought joy to everyone who was near her. Her name was Millie."

He stopped and everyone looked at Millie who seemed to enjoy the description. William clicked his tongue, "Surely she doesn't mean you. There's nothing pure about you. This must be fiction."

Millie glared at him, "You're just jealous Seri loves me more than you."

William bit his lip in irritation, "Whatever. Just continue."

Artie continued, "Millie was a close childhood friend to Seri, William and Dante. But she had a secret. She was in love with William."

The room got quiet. Everyone was too afraid to say anything. Dante, however, snickered.

Millie's face grew dark, "It's a work of fiction."

Artie cleared his throat, "Seri desperately wanted to make Millie's wish come true. However, she couldn't go against the destiny set forth by the original novel. William fell in love with Mary."

Mary looked at William in surprise, "You did?!"

William's face grew dark like Millie's, "Like Millie said. It's complete fiction."

William elbowed Artie who continued, "Millie was heartbroken. William had chose a big breasted beauty over her."

Mary smiled, "Hehe. She called me a beauty."

Lucius glanced at her, "She also called you big breasted."

"Ack." Mary covered her chest and blushed.

William frowned aggravated by being paired with Mary. "What is this? Some kind of picture book? How stupid. We should throw it away."

As he reached for it, Artie smacked away his hands, "Wait. I want to see how this ends."

Artie cleared his throat and read, "Millie ran down the halls crying. She ran straight into the uncaring Mathias."

Mathias's eyes twitched in surprise. He didn't think he would be brought into the storyline.

Artie continued, "Mathias was uncaring on the outside, but in truth he was a soft hearted man. Seeing a woman cry in front of him nearly destroyed him. He couldn't help but take the pitiful Millie into his arms. She looked into his eyes and felt a strange rush of emotions storm through her. Mathias couldn't help but be entranced by her mesmerizing eyes. In an instant, the two fell in love and shared a passionate kiss."

Artie looked at Mathias and smirked, "Wow, Mathias. I didn't know you had it in you."

Mathias gulped and glanced at Millie. Millie was on the verge of snapping as she shook in anger. The pen in her hand snapped.

Mathias felt like crying. How could he love such a terrifying woman?!

Mathias squeaked in a panic, "Fiction!"

Artie laughed and continued, "William and Mary enjoyed a healthy marriage. He ascended to the throne causing Mary to be the first commoner to rise to royalty. Millie and Mathias were married and had many children. And Dante on the other hand..."

Mary looked at the pages in excitement as if she was reading her favorite book, "I wonder what she's going to say about Dante."

Artie flipped the page and froze. Everyone looked at the page to see what was suspected to be Dante's portrait. However, his eyes were scratched out so hard that the page had ripped. Crazy writing scattered the page looking almost as if someone had a mental breakdown while writing.

Everyone was speechless. Artie read the writing, "The evil devil Dante and his sadistic ways caused him to be die all alone."

Artie chuckled at Dante, "Hah! She made you alone. Guess she doesn't like you as much as you thought."

Dante's face grew dark and the temperature in the room dropped significantly. Artie gulped knowing he had said too much. He quickly flipped the page, "Should we continue? Yes, let's continue. There's more after all."

He read, "The new Seri, who had survived his attack in the library, because she was so amazing, became the leader of an underground society. Everyday she ate sweets like a Queen without a care in the world. She died happily with her riches surrounded by cats."

Mary frowned, "Why does that sound a little sad?"

William crossed his arms, "To us it seems sad, but I bet Seri thinks this is the best possible ending."

They all nodded in understanding. Artie flipped the page, "There's more! It says: A forbidden heavenly love. A fanfiction yaoi written by Seri." He frowned, "What's a yaoi?"

Mary thought carefully, "I seem to remember Seri mention this. Perhaps it's a dessert?"

Millie looked at it, "I remember her asking me if there were any yaoi books. I assume it's a genre."

Artie flipped the page, "The forbidden love between the playboy son of a Duke and an adorable Shota. Lucius didn't care about anything other than what happened in bed. Whether it was between a woman or a man, all he sought was a good time."

Lucius cut in, "Oi!? What the hell?! I clearly only sleep with women!!!" Everyone tossed him a look of disgust. He cleared his throat awkwardly, "I mean... I'm a pure gentlemen, but only to the ladies."

Artie continued, "He never looked for anything long term. He was only focused on his many conquests. That was... Until he met the Shota named Artie."

Artie stopped instantly and gripped the book tightly. His cutesy tone turned dark, "What the f*ck?!"

Artie continued reading while shaking in anger, "Lucius was so entranced by Artie, that he began to follow him while trying to get his attention. But because Lucius was such a proud idiot, he wouldn't admit his feelings to Artie. Until one day when he drank too much alcohol and..."

Artie flipped the page and nearly coughed out blood, "ATTACKED ARTIE?!"

Artie slammed the book down and jumped up in a rage. He shouted at Lucius, "WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU ATTACK ME?!"

Lucius shouted back, "I WOULDN'T ATTACK YOU EVEN IF IT MEANT I WOULD DIE!!"

Dante casually picked the journal back up and flipped the page. William and Mathias were too shocked by the sudden relevation that they couldn't look at the journal any longer. They turned away, hiding their blushing faces. Millie was completely unaware of the situation since she was muttering angrily to herself. Mary and Dante ignored Artie and Lucius fighting and continued to look at the journal.

Mary read the book over Dante's shoulder, "Lucius pinned down Artie and had his way with him. Artie never knew something could feel so amazing, but be so forbidden and dangerous."

Mary paused and pointed at an image, "What do you suppose those two blobs are?"

Dante spoke, "It's two men sleeping together."

Mary frowned trying to make sense of it, "But they don't seem to be sleeping."

"Different kind of sleeping." Dante replied.

Mary read off the descriptions, "Artie on bottom, Lucius on top. The Seme dominating the uke..."

Artie screamed, "BOTTOM?! WHY THE HELL AM I THE BOTTOM?!"

Lucius chuckled arrogantly, "What? Do you think I'd be the bottom, little man? I'm clearly a top. There's no way I'd be pinned down by a little boy who likes to play dress up."

Artie's veins bulged, "DIE F*CKER!"

Artie slammed his fist into Lucius's stomach, causing him to double over. Artie started beating Lucius up in a fury of fists. Lucius was unable to stop the onslaught of his small fury.

As Artie beat Lucius up, Dante and Mary continued reading the rest. Dante read it with a expressionless face while Mary couldn't help but blush in enjoyment at what she was reading.

Mary looked at it in admiration, "Although the drawings are a bit bad... I think I actually quite like it..."

William sighed, "Even though it's shameless, I have to admit her writing isn't terrible. Well, except for the several grammar mistakes. Who would have thought she was awful at everything except writing."

Dante read the pages and began to wonder if Seri was actually a secret pervert. First the erotic novel, now this? Also, when they were younger they had stumbled into a room filled with pornographic images. Dante didn't care for them at all, but he was surprised when Seri was so knowledgeable about the subject.

Just how long has she had such a perverted mind?!

Also, why was she always guarded against him? Of course he was tempted to reenact these things, but he would never do something so shameless unless he had approval.

So why did she always seem like she was waiting to be eaten by him? Unless....

"What are you doing."

Everyone froze at the voice. Artie and Lucius stopped their one sided fight immediately. Everyone looked to the cold voice and saw Seri standing in the doorway looking at the journal with an unreadable expression.

She spoke in a low voice, "Did you read it."

Dante closed the book abruptly, "No."

Mary squealed and ran at Seri, "SERIII! I'M SO SORRY!! I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!!!"

Seri pushed back her face, "You. Read. It."

Mary blinked away tears. She gave a puppy dog expression, "But... I really did like the yaoi parts."

Seri looked at her and raised an eyebrow, "You liked it?"

Mary nodded, "Yes! For some reason it made me feel all tingly when I read it..."

A grin broke out across Seri's face. She put her arm around Mary's shoulder and brought her close. "Well then. Let me introduce you to the world of yaoi."
