There’s nothing usually bright at school, nothing that makes your heart beat like a bomb and gives you some type of meaning…
“Hey Rose! How was your weekend? Did you get to do anything good before getting your next red mark?”
“Hahaha, I asked my dad to take me to a barbecue but he always insists on seeing my grades first, it’s so unfair!”
“Mr. Eisen made the chemistry test especially hard last week! For real, how can this guy be such a dork and expect everyone to learn everything as fast as him!”
“Well at least the two of you can say you’re getting better scores than me, I definitely bombed at this one. There’s just no way a normal person can understand chemistry that easily!”
“Well, it’s not like you get many good grades either, Rose…”
The teacher, Mr. Manuel Eisen, came into the room. I could only remember his name because his face looked like a lizard and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud the first time I saw him. Due to that I think this dude has a grudge against me, poor little Rose Ophelia, always getting the worst scores on chemistry tests in the whole class.
“As all of you know, today you are receiving the grades from the test you did last week. I’m very disappointed with most of you.” He always had some self righteous thing to say. “But… Only one of you could get a full score on this test. Miss Eyre, please.”
Eyre… Of course it would be her…
A girl with beautiful soft pale skin, dark purple hair and icy piercing blue eyes hidden by glasses stood up from her chair. She couldn’t help but walk perfectly close to the teacher that bragged about how she was able to get the highest score in the class. It wasn’t because of him or his teaching, it was just nature. Hazel Eyre was just simply perfect, smart, athletic, gorgeous beyond belief, the perfect girl…
She was the only thing that could make my heart explode. The only real thing that could keep me going to school everyday just to watch her, to be close to her in any way.
“Of course it was Eyre… How can this girl be such a nerd and still get the attention of all the normies?!” The green haired girl sitting next to me, named Ariel, said. She was usually jealous or angry at the popular girls in our class, Hazel was no exception.
“She’s always on top of the class, I don’t know how she has a life at all. Melissa and her gang probably just keep her around to make her do their homework or exploit her like that.” The other girl sitting next to me, Hanna, replied. Even though she had more of a “cool girl” style, she still couldn't hide her jealousy of Miss Hazel Eyre, for being popular, smart and athletic even without seeming truly close to any person in the whole school.
I could never not call Ariel, the girl who showed me her world of video games when she was transferred to school or Hanna, the girl who impressed me with her drawings because of how fun and captivating her art style was, friends. We knew each other very well, we were good friends from the past five years or so, but still… I really hated when they started badmouthing Hazel.
We knew each other very well
Or at least superficially
Because I could never trust them when it comes to letting them know how much I loved Hazel Eyre.
They saw me as the clumsy little airhead friend, and it wasn't bad, so I didn't want to break this illusion for them, still…
I wanted to be serious when it comes to Hazel. My dear, beloved Hazel.
I stood up when the teacher called me and went to get my test.
“Three out of ten… It was better than last time.” I told Ariel and Hanna, who seemed kinda impressed on how much I could fail at chemistry.
“Maybe you should ask someone to help you out, there’s no way you can survive this year with grades like that, Rose…”
“Michael is pretty good at chemistry, isn’t he? You could ask him out! He’s pretty cute too, maybe you could get him to fall for you…”
Shut up. shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP.
I stood up and went to Hazel’s sit.
“Hey Miss Hazel, congratulations! You’re top of the class again!”
“...Thank you.”
She didn’t look at me. But it's okay. I think I couldn’t handle being directly seen by her without melting. It has always been like this, since the beginning… Even though we’ve been in the same class since we were kids, she always avoided looking me in the eyes…
“Ugh, what are you doing here Ophelia?! You’re bothering Hazel again?!” Melissa and her gang of suck ups appeared. Well of course she would appear now…
“Not at all Melissa, I was just wandering…”
“If Hazel could give you chemistry lessons? She isn’t a teacher y’know, it’s your fault you can’t pay attention when we're in class.” One of the other two girls, Alexandra, said it this time. She was the one who clearly studied with Hazel’s notes she took in class, she was never the type who would pay attention to class either, every time I looked at her during class she was either checking herself with her phone’s camera or playing some dubious “pretty boys” gacha game.
“Why don’t you ask a guy to help you out? You’re a girl y’know? And you’re pretty, we’ve been together for a long time at this school and you didn’t have a boyfriend or something like that, you should start thinking about the chances you’re losing, Rose!” The third girl, Annabeth, said it this time. She was the kindest out of the three, but unfortunately her type of kindness always revolved around finding a boy for a girl to date, and that kinda pissed me off.
“I’ve never had a boyfriend either. It’s not her fault if she’s not interested in this kind of stuff. I couldn’t care less myself.” Hazel was truly an angel in the sky. While the other three girls always wanted to either bully or take down other girls, and always tried to make me uncomfortable talking about boys, she tried to defend me… I truly, really loved her.
“Oh come on Hazel, haven’t you heard the news?!” Melissa said, ignoring me and even ignoring what Hazel said. “Our senior, Carter Fullmer is telling everyone he wants to talk to you after school today, he’s definitely going to ask you out!! He’s on the football team y’know?! If you start dating him, you’ll definitely be one of the most popular girls in school!”
“He has never once spoken to me before.” She was as cold and emotionless as ever. That was my Hazel. There’s no way such a scumbag could make her heart beat fast enough to take her away from my sight.
“Well but I’m telling you right now you dummy! Just think about it, wouldn’t it be cool to date such a popular guy?! The girls who used to mess with you would be begging on their knees to be your friend! And you could kiss and make out with a strong hot guy such as Carter! Everybody would be dying to be in your place!”
“I don’t care. There’s no way one would fall for a person that couldn’t even talk to me directly.”
“He’s probably intimidated by how smart and pretty you are, you have a reputation at school y'know?” Annabeth said it this time, with her soft voice. “You could give it a try, dating can be pretty fun y’know? Don’t you ever dream of going out on dates and being together with someone you love, Hazel?”
“That… Would be nice.”
What
What
WHAT?!
No way. There’s no way those bitches who use Hazel for social capital and free homework could really convince her to go out with that weird ass dude.
“C’mon, at least hear him out. We won’t force you, but another girl might come and steal him away! You wouldn't want to lose that chance!”
“...I’ll think about it.”
There's no way
There's no way
There's no way
There's no way
I’m going to lose her…
I’ve simply disappeared as the “popular girls” tried to make my sun be part of them.
I simply disappeared as she couldn’t look at me.
There’s no way…
My hopes were dying. I just… Wanted to look at her forever, but…
If this wasn’t enough for her, and she would search for something more, I wish it could be with me…
♡
I couldn’t take that image out of my head.
That disgusting muscle mass that is Carter Fullmer getting close to Hazel.
Confessing to her
Making her blush
Kissing her
Making you with her…
There’s no way I could accept it. There’s no way the world could accept it…
Hazel was perfect. Hazel was the reason I could exist. Hazel was… My everything.
“I have to… Kill that guy.”
Yes... Despite looking small and girly, I could be pretty strong sometimes! If I came back to school and took him by surprise I…
“Wooooaaah!” Something screamed, a fluffy white ball, falling from the sky falling into my-
“Goodness, is there no way someone could help a lady land in a more sensitive way? Such rude servants… Oh, a human! Hello there dear human!”
“What the hell?! Why is a bunny talking?!”
“Such lack of manners! I’m not a rabbit or anything of the sort! I’m the princess of Omoiland, Amellia Anima Soulscythe Rabbirinne Governantha The Third!”
“Omo… What? I haven’t done drugs my whole life miss I swear.”
“Grr ANYWAY! Call me Anima. I’m a princess from a very distant land that you humans with your naked bodies couldn’t even comprehend!” The bunny-like fairy spoke with a self righteous tone, whoever she was, she seemed pretty upset. But you can’t blame me right? It’s not like a rabbit flying right in your face and starting to talk out of nowhere is an everyday event…
“Okay, Anima the talking bunny… What are you looking for? I’m pretty sure I’m no help though…
“You were planning to get rid of someone just now, wasn’t you?”
“Wha-what?! That’s a very serious accusation to throw at a 17-year-old!”
“You… Rose Ophelia. Your heart burns and shivers with raw anger. But you haven’t turned into an uncontrolled beast…”
“What the hell are you talking about? Anger is a normal human feeling, besides, I might really have to do something bad today…”
“Sure, it is. But you humans don’t know the true evil that haunts this world… The evil that exploits strong negative human feelings.”
“What.. Is this evil, Anima?”
“If you want to know, you’ll have to accept what I have to offer you, let’s make a contract!”
“Oh I know where this is going, I’m not gonna make a crazy contract with you and sell my soul! Just shoosh already you dirty tricking bunny!”
“I’m not a bunny! And I don’t want your rotten soul either! I just need for you to be true to yourself and do what your heart desires! I have power to give you!”
“...What type of power are you talking about, say it clearly.”
“You want to take down a guy twice your size, don’t you? I know, I know… After all, a damsel’s heart with no spice is no good, and you want to have that purple haired girl to yourself, don’t you? But you know what would happen if you try to confront him, the one dead might be you..”
“I-I’m pretty strong, okay?! I could take that asshole down if I wanted to…”
“You can’t lie to me, Rose Ophelia. But I can help you out! If you accept me and turn into a “Destroyer”, you could have enough power to beat that disgusting man up until he bleeds and begs for mercy!”
“A “Destroyer”, huh… What does it even mean?”
“You’ll learn in no time. Your heart.. It burns with a violent anger, you’re perfect!” The weird bunny creature showed me a mark in her belly in the shape of a… Pink heart? It started glowing, and then a necklace with a pink heart diamond with white bat wings appeared right before my eyes.
“You’ve made this with your belly?! I could exploit you to get rich, are you joking?!”
“It’s beautiful, right? My kingdom can make some really pretty Destroyer jewelry, but it’s not for selling! Take this necklace and reveal your true self, Rose!”
“You’re a nutty little bunny I need to say, but.. It looks really pretty so there’s no bad in testing it out, right?” I took the floating necklace and.. Once I touched it..
It was like a flash of light came into my head.
Power
Crushing power
And desire…
Hazel… The girl I loved… She’s going to reject that guy.. And he’ll try to kill her…
He’s a madman that will try to hurt her!
I can’t.
I can’t let this happen…
“I CAN’T LET THAT ASSHOLE SUCCEED!”
“Seems like you’ve seen it… The next victim of the Liebesherrscher.”
“What the hell are you talking about Anima?! Hazel’s going to die if I don’t do anything!”
“Calm down, you can’t do anything if you just keep complaining, let’s go to where your vision led you first!”
“Right… The back of the school building!”
