 ......It's Liz after all. It was a little easier than I thought it would be.

 Her emerald green eyes are shining as ever.

 Her brothers are behind her.

 Mr. Duke, you've grown up a lot.

 You are becoming more and more my type.

 I guess you won't be looking at me so kindly from now on.

"Alicia? What's wrong?"

 I haven't been called that in a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Only Liz calls me that.

Why are you trembling?

 Liz approached one of the ladies in the group.

"Alicia-sama is ......."

 I glared lightly at the young lady who opened her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Immediately the young lady shut her mouth.

 Bad girls glare and put pressure on you.

 I've practiced glaring every day, so I must be better at it than anyone else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 And since she's a villainess, she can use her cat-like eyes for glaring.

 If there's a staring contest in the school, I'm sure you'll win!

Alicia, what have you done?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Albert's brother is coming towards me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I want to impress everyone at ...... that I'm already a bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 But I haven't done anything to them, especially the ladies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 They just got scared on their own.

"Alicia's rant against us: ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 A young lady in the group of ladies, who was trying to flatter her brother Albert, said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Oh, that was an expletive. I didn't know that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 They really are ladies. I've never heard that word before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I'm supposed to be the daughter of a very prominent family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"Alicia, did you say those words to them?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Albert's brother said this with a slight wrinkle between his eyebrows.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Did he?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I don't understand it either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"Shut up," I said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"Why did you say that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Liz interrupted me in mid-sentence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 ...... I told your brother Albert.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

 I don't know why she's coming out.

"They just got hurt on their own, that's all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I said, glaring at Ms. Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"It must be hard for you, Alicia, when people say hurtful things to you, isn't it? You can't do that to people."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Liz smiles at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I wish you'd stop with the archaic smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I really don't like it.

"They're the ones who talked to me when they first met me and didn't know what I looked like."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I said this with a condescending look at Ms. Liz, even though I was shorter than her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"I think they're responsible for that, don't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I don't think Liz would have expected me to say it like that. She looks at me, frozen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 She's surprised.

 At this rate I'll be the perfect bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I glance at Jill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Jill is glaring at me with a fierceness that makes Liz and the group of ladies freeze.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 What a cold stare. ....... Oh my gosh, Jill.

"Alicia, what's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 My brother Albert peeked at me worriedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Oh, why am I worried?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"Maybe you have a fever, Alicia..." he said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Liz said this as if she suddenly had an idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 What are you talking about?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

 Is she stupid?

 Liz tried to touch me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 With a smack, I slapped her hand away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Of course, it was a conscious swat, not an unconscious one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 Because she was treating me like a sick person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


"Don't touch me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I glared at her and said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I get points for being a bad girl because I glared at her, slapped her, and didn't use respectful words for an older person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 That's wonderful. I feel great.

"Come on, Jill, let's go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I said to Jill and left.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com


 I walked away without looking back, feeling everyone's eyes on my back.
