Is Esmeralda trying to get close to Mark now because everyone knows that Mark is a superhuman? This superficial bitch! Arit felt irritation rising in her chest as she cursed Esmeralda!
"Do you think I don't know what is going on here?"
Arit was immediately confused once Esmeralda spoke and it showed on her face as her brows furrowed into a frown. She leaned back in shock to put some space between them. What the hell was Esmeralda talking about? Is this some sort of prank?
Esmeralda saw the confusion on Arit's face, but she did not let that stop her as she just fired on as if everything would clear itself up in the end.
"Tell me, how long have you been planning this? You've known for a while, haven't you? That's why you've been spending so much time with Mark all this while. You've known that he was a superhuman since the start and you thought you could lay claim to him by spending as much time beside him as possible. People like you disgust me the most.
You're just using your sultry looks and stupid housewife routine to fool him? Who the fuck brings a meal to school for someone unless they're trying too hard at the housewife bullshit. You're nothing but a skank selling your body to Mark because of his power."
'I'm going to kill her.'
This was the first time that Arit was hearing Queen's voice ever since she learned to control it. Queen hasn't bothered coming out since Arit was already very good at suppressing her, but there was no way that Queen could remain in the background after hearing something like that.
Arit, on the other hand, looked shell-shocked. Her eyes were wide in surprise and she slowly dropped the broken spoon she was holding to prevent herself from doing something she would regret! Arit could already feel her hand shaking, and she knew that if she did not drop that spoon right now, she might use it to stab Esmeralda in the neck!
What did she just say? I'm seducing Mark? Is she mad? Arit was not a hostile person; it was only since Queen appeared that she started having more violent thoughts, but even the calm Arit could not keep her anger down at the accusation that she was hearing from Esmeralda. A deep surge of anger was rising from somewhere deep inside her and she was ready to burst at any moment.
"Yeah, I haven't seen her hang out with anyone but Mark."
"Do you think she knew about Mark before us? That would explain it."
"If I knew about Mark, then I would have done anything to seduce him too. I'm not surprised."
"Wow, I never knew Arit had it in her. She's a certified Cleopatra."
But Arit could not deny that she was pissed! Who the fuck did Esmeralda think she was? How dare she talk about Mark like that? She was blaming Mark for the people who died in that fight? Is she fucking stupid!? Arit knew that people died in that fight against the Calamity class a while ago.
There were too many falling buildings and broken homes for people to not have died, but that was not Mark's fault! Mark saved everyone and this bitch thinks she can blame him for something the anima caused?
If not for Mark, then a thousand times more people would have died!
Arit did not even care about the accusation that Esmeralda leveled against her. So what if Esmeralda thinks that Arit has been seducing Mark because of his power? Arit didn't care. Arit didn't even care if her entire school thought that she was seducing Mark because of his power.
They can say whatever they want about her, she was just going to bear it and let it flow past her, but she was not going to tolerate any bullshit they say about Mark. The next person to call Mark a murderer is going to the hospital.
"Arit, where is GHOST – I mean, where is Mark? I thought I saw him earlier this morning while passing your class, shouldn't he be in class as well?"
The teacher spoke up quickly while bringing out a black book from his bag and he noticed that Mark was not in class. If you looked closely, you would see that the book that the teacher brought out was actually his diary, and he was also bringing out a pen that he wanted Mark to use to sign an autograph for him! But not seeing Mark was putting all his plans into disarray!
Arit frowned once her teacher spoke up and she turned to her left in shock as she noticed that the teacher was right! Mark wasn't there! A sudden realization seemed to dawn on Arit at that moment and she slammed her hands on her desk and stood up with a scowl on her face! Why didn't she suspect anything when he said he was going to the toilet!? That damn liar!
She should have known that he would try something like this! Arit has gotten so comfortable with Mark that she completely forgot how elusive he can be when he wants to be!
He fucking ran away from class!
"Permission to go search for Mark, sir!"
"G-Granted."
The teacher was a little put off by Arit's intensity and he watched in surprise as Arit turned and speed walked out of the class with that scowl still in place!
"I'm going to kill him!"
