voao

rumours spread, and they spread fast

the first years bad mouthing each other, while being plastic face to face was the top rumour in the boring school

well some people's voices are louder than others, which caused the dormleaders to hear about the debacle

suddenly jack and yuu were dating 

then they broke up

apparently she cheated with deuce

the epel went after jack

but jack stayed single 

but they seemed fine, all seemed well. after all they were hanging around the cafeteria

the six were messing around and doing trust falls, as everybody but ace went suddenly he heard

"oh my god it's his dream come true, diving into a big pile of boys" yuu snickered

"ok well yeah I have something" he mutters

"so I have this friend who is a new student this year, and I convinced him that it would be fun to mess up yuu's life" he announces then takes a deep breath

"so I had him pretend to be friends with yuu and then he would come over to my dorm to laugh all about the dumb stuff they said" he paused

"and we gave them these candy bar things that would make them gain weight, and we turned their bestfriends against them" he points at deuce and sebek

"oh yeah then epel ,you guys know my friend epel" he points to epel

"he made out with yuu's boyfriend and then convinced him to break up with them. oh god then we gave you foot cream instead of face cream" he laughs

"god haaah. I am so sorry yuu, I don't know why I did it" he says sarcastically

"I guess it's probably because I have a big GAY crush on your boyfriend. suck on that!" he yelled jumping to the other's arms as they hold him up and throwing him in the air chanting his name

yuu storms out, but before reaching the exit epel went after them

"yuu! yuu wait I didn't mean for that to happen" he says

"finding out that everybody hates me? I don't care" they kept walking

"yuu please! yuu stop!"

"AHH! do you know what everybody says about you? they say that you're a homeschool village freak whose a less hot version of me!" yuu exclaimed

"so don't try to act all innocent"

cheating is a terrible crime, and it's hard to confront someone who did such sins

every soft touches linger, I know that. But instead of it being comforting, it disgusts me to no end

just thinking of those passionate kisses shared by us two, the days spent in each others arms and those sweet nothings whispered, in which I thought was exclusive to myself

thinking back at it, I grew up as a hopeless romantic, as my parents were the embodiment of pure love. I had thought that I will receive the same fate 

so those letters he sent me, messages with comforting words that makes my head spin and stomach have butterflies. I saved all of them and compiled them in a folder

as cheesy as it sounds. this folder is very dear to me, as it comforts me through hard times and I find myself flipping through the pages as if it were a romance novel

when we met, it was love at first sight. I was sure of it, he was sure of it and made me feel as such

so why? the betrayal was such an unexpected thing. we were happy, we were both following our dreams

the news was a shock, yes. but it didn't really sink in up until later. the evidence, the picture of my lover's infidelity

confiding in my family and friends, I heard the same thing

"he's blind to not see your worth, a diamond in the rough"

"y/n please let me in, I- I'm sorry. I don't know how it happened, I just-"

but I didn't listen, I didn't let him in, actually 'I couldn't' was the right words

the persuasive voice he only used for clients, well up until now

did he think that I was easy? easy to convince? to manipulate? 

to get over him and his presence was hard, but as any break up. I had gotten rid of everything that reminded me of him

gifts, pictures, trinkets, and the letters

it was one of the hardest things to do, I had read them continuously, almost memorizing them all

but in the end I had gotten rid of it all

after that my apartment had looked, bare. as if I was just moving in, maybe even out

he had knocked once again at my door

"please y/n let me explain" he said through the door

I didn't open it, in fear of going back in his arms as if nothing even happened

"how long ago did the affair started?" I asked

"not long" he answered

"why?"

"I felt like we were distancing away from-" he tried to explain

"no. why wasn't I the first one to find out? why did the entire world know first before me?" I gritted my teeth

"I- needed an alibi, my love you know the scandal it could've caused if I were to be involved in a crime" he says so sure of himself

"so you thought that exposing where you were at that time, exposing an affair, having people slander our relationship, our lives, our decisions. was better than your business losing customers?"

"no- please forgive me. I promise that this time I will not mess anything up, I won't break your heart this time around" he swears

"you yourself cannot trust your own decisions and thoughts. so why would I, someone who you already deceived, mislead and forsaken, pour my trust in the broken vessel you call promises?" you breathed in

"You had made your bed, sleep in it. this was the path you chose, this was not destined. your infidelity will be the reason of your current suffering"

you had went into your room and put on some music just to drown out Azul's pleadings

fun fact!

FILIPINO VERSION

ang pagmamahal ng tao sayo ay 'di dapat inaabuso, dahil ang pagmahal ay parang tayo din. Pag unti-unti nating pinamimigay nang walang kapalit, ay mauubos din ito

si Vil ay hindi ordinaryong lalake, sa dinami daming nagkagusto sa kanya, ang mata niya ay di maalis kay Yuu

babeng di makukumpara sa iba, mala perlas ang kutis, gandang tulad ng bagong bukang rosas, ngiting nagbibigay liwanag kahit sa pinakamadilim na gabi

si Yuu ay nasanay na sa mga manliligaw na may gusto sa kanya, buwan-buwan may bagong darating.

"sa mata ko ay ikaw lang ang babae sa mundo"

"hindi kita kayang lokohin. At nang tumingin ka lang sa aking direksyon, ay parang biniyayaan na ako ng diyos"

"hindi ako tulad ng ibang lalaki, na gagamitin at paglalaruan ka lang"

sa daming beses na niya ito narinig ay parang naririndi na siya. Kaya nagulat siya na meron pading malakas na loob na magpakita at lokohin siya

si Vil na ilang buwan na pinag-iisipan ang desisyon at pag-ipon ng kumpiyansa, ay nasira ang loob

nasanay na din si Vil na siya ang hinahabol ng mga babae, kaya bakit? Bakit ang unang beses na totoong nagka-gusto siya, ay hindi siya gusto neto?

si Yuu alam na ang mga sasabihin neto

"mahal na ata kita"

"gusto kong pasayahin ka"

"hindi kita lolokohin"

sa galit ni Yuu, agad-agad niya itong tinanggihan. Gaano ka laki ang kaakuhan? Gaano siya kahangin? 

sa tingin ba niya na pag-narinig ito ni Yuu na agad-agad siyang magkaka gusto dito?

hindi, hindi niya tinanggap ang malalim na damdamin ni Vil

pero hindi nagpa-pigil si Vil

mga liham, regalo, rosas lahat nang mai-isip na pwede i regalo ay niregalo na niya

pero si Yuu ay nagka-gusto sa iba, lalaking nakatutok lang sa kanyang pag-aaral, lalaking walang oras na maibigay sa kanya, lalaking nakatutok sa kanyang pangarap, lalaking nag-ngangalang Azul

araw gabi nasa isip ni Yuu eto

'gaano kaya ka lambot ang kanyang buhok'

'ang ganda ng kanyang tawa, parang anghel ang bumaba sa langit para sa aking mga mata'

nang nakita ni Vil na wala na siyang pagkakataon, ay lumayo na siya. Ayaw niya din abalahin si Yuu

si Yuu na hindi napansin ang pagka-wala ng presensya ni Vil sa kanyang buhay

ilang buwan lumipas at nawala na din ang kanyang nararamdaman, at parang may kulang sa buhay niya

ano ang kulang?

ang pagmamahal na dati niyang naramdaman, taos-pusong papuri na dating sinabi sa kanya, ang magandang pakiramdam na ibinigay sa kanya. Sino nga ba siya?

yung taong gusto siya kahit hindi maayos ang kanyang itsura, taong may oras para sa kanya para lang mapasaya siya, ang taong nag-mamahal sa kanya

ah, si Vil

pero sinaktan na ni Yuu noon siya, mapapatawad kaya ni Vil si Yuu?

ilang araw nag-ipon ng lakas loob si Yuu, para mag-hingi ng patawad, at ilabas ang kanyang nararamdaman

dahil sa saya at gustong makita agad si Vil, ay napa tingin ito sa social media ni Vil

ay, huli na ba si Yuu?

parang tinutuya siya ng mga larawan

si Vil may kasamang babae, masaya, naghahawak kamay

ay, kasalanan to ni Yuu eh

kung hindi lang siya pahuli huli

gabing-gabi na nag-scroll sa kanyang profile ay parang pang-araw-araw na ritwal para kay Yuu

hindi matanggap na sinayang niya ang pagkakataon niya kay Vil

mahal na mahal siya dati ni Vil tapos sinayang lang niya

kung maaga kaya nalaman ni Yuu ang kanyang totoong nararamdaman, meron kayang pagkakataon na maging sila?

ENGLISH VERSION

people's love should not be abused, because love is like us. If we gradually give away pieces without anything in return, we will be all used up

Vil was not an ordinary man, many girls like him pursue him even. But his eyes can't be taken off of Yuu

a girl incomparable to others, complexion like that of a pearl, beauty like a newly blossomed rose, smile that lights up even the darkest nights

Yuu is used to those who pursue her, every month a new one arrives

"in my eyes you are the only woman in the world"

"I won't fool you, as when you looked at my direction, it was as if God had blessed me"

"I'm not like other men, who will only use and play with you"

she had heard it so many times that it's seems like she's going deaf. So she was surprised that someone had the courage to show up and fool her

Vil who had been mulling over the decision for months and gathering confidence, was devastated

Vil had gotten used to being the one being chased, so why? Why did the first girl he truly liked not like him back?

Yuu already knows every line that came out of his mouth

"I think I love you"

"I want to make you happy"

"I will not fool you"

due to Yuu's anger, she rejected him. How big was his ego? How big was his head?

did he think that once Yuu hears this, she'll immediately fall in love?

no. She didn't accept Vil's feelings

but Vil didn't let it hold him back

love letters, gift, roses, everything that can be gifted was gifted

but Yuu fell in love with someone else. A man focused with his studies, a man who was focused with his dreams, a man who didn't have time for her, a man named Azul 

he was on Yuu's mind day and night

'how soft is his hair?'

'his laugh is enchanting, like an angel descended from heaven for my eyes'

when Vil saw that he had no chance, he walked away. He didn't want to bother Yuu

Yuu who didn't notice the absence of Vil's presence in his life 

a few months passed and her feelings disappeared, and it seemed like something was missing from her life

what was missing?

the love she used to receive, heartfelt praise she used too receive, the good feeling he gave her. Who gave it to her?

a person who likes her even if she doesn't look the best, a person who has time for her just to make her happy, the person who loves her

ah, it's Vil

but Yuu had hurt him before , can he ever forgive her?

Yuu mustered the courage, to ask for forgiveness, and show her feelings

because of her impatience to see Vil, she immediately went to his social media page

oh, was Yuu too late?

the pictures seems to be mocking her

vil, with a woman, happy, and holding hands

oh, it's Yuu's fault

always beating around the bush, if only she wasn't too late

late nights scrolling through his profile is a daily ritual for Yuu

Yuu couldn't accept that she wasted her chance with Vil

Vil used to love her so much, and she just wasted it

entering nrc was a dream come true

so was having the vil schoenheit pursue you

a few months of knowing each other 

he realized that he likes you

oh when he found out he was just the sweetest

love letters, gifts, all the physical affection and words of affirmation you need for the rest of your life

bla bla bla

late nights scrolling through his feed was like a daily ritual for you

still not over the fact that you wasted your chances with him

heading back to his house, is the highlight of vil's day

after the break, he hasn't been himself

lifeless, moody, just... not right

lying on his bed with so much space to spare, it feels empty

not only the bed, the house too

without your laughter, your voice, your presence, without you in it

scrolling through his phone hoping, wishing you'd call

going to another gig, his eyebags getting darker

he's always distracted, always on that damned phone

what is happening?

if vil were to be honest, he'd rather die than be ignored by you for another minute

without you it'd be pointless living

yes, he's one of the most sought out bachelor, but how could they ever compare to you?

when he's alone, he whispers your name. hoping you'd hear and come to him

and there you were, awake in the middle of the night pondering

did you make the right decision?

was he really bad, or were you just dramatic?

did you actually see red flags, or did you waste the man of you're dreams?

what is happening to you?

thinking life is worthless without him, but wasn't he bad for you?

searching up his name, almost as if to call out to him

paparazzi's from all news stations had probably gotten tired of taking your photo in the most luxurious clubs

you drunkenly going to the crowd to dance, staying still for a minute. then looking around all the peoples faces with a familiar gaze

but what they won't get tired of is following your cab home, only to find out the cab ended up in another actor's house

specifically your ex boyfriends house, vil

you getting out of the cab, then heading back in. giving the correct address

oh how big are these two's egos are. not willing to own up to their mistakes

not willing to be the first to succumb

insulting each other in the media, as if they don't crave each other

degrading each other, so the other submits

at this point no one knows if it's love or hate

malleus couldn't believe it, he just couldn't!

after saving the seven overblot victims from dying, without a prize or even that much appreciation

she was suddenly branded a villain?

malleus knows humans can be just as possessive as anyone of them here, but was that really the case?

but his suspicion really arose when the people once could be called her friends weren't acting consistent

one day acting like the ground y/n walks in were as pure as a newborn baby's soul

others acting like y/n was any other student

those incidents, and the headaches the nrc population has been dealing with. especially the first years

some days leona too is suspicious some days he could care less

the lazy days, he's bothered with the smell of dried roses and cinnamon

this discourages him to go to populated areas, as it concentrates there 

other days he himself is drowned in such scent

but really who cares it's just a scent

leona hasn't been attending any of his classes, going to populated areas including the open area in his dorm in days 

the headaches from the perfume was gone. god who even wears that much perfume

so he finally went out, he didn't know where to go but somewhere no one was would satisfy him

he walked and walked until it lead him to a familiar trail, ramshackle

he quickly turned back, no use in getting associated with people like that

but a few feet away from him was a bastard, a horned one that is

"what are you doing here?" the bastard asked

"nothing just leaving" he muttered passing him, they were again a few feet apart when he heard the aggravating voice again

"do you believe her?" malleus had asked

truthfully it had slipped his mind, but when the horned one asked about it, he remembered the incident that took place a month ago

"who?" he turned around to see malleus already facing him

"y/n, do you not find anything suspicious?" malleus asked tilting his head to the side

"no" he turned ready to leave as this situation was bothering him

"I did, do you not find the first years once around yuu acting strange? the inconsistencies? the headaches? nothing really?" malleus pressed

getting fed up he answered "yes, I did find something strange. but why would I tell you? do you have something that's useful or interesting for me?"

"I believe that y/n had deceived everyone in the school, and yuu is suffering for it" he replies

damn the one he likes was suffering because he bumped into the newcomer

so he caves "the whole school is covered in this scent, I suspect the one causing the headaches and weird behaviour,  the more people in the area the more dense the scent is" he paused

"like a diluted love potion" 

leona was smart. he may not attend classes, but somehow he still get good grades. so how did he only notice now

a certain minx smirked from the dorm near them

the two planned to go to the headmaster about this

malleus wanting someone with authority to properly locate the problem and punish who did it

leona not wanting to handle it his own

but right now leona was waiting for malleus near the headmasters office, he was late. and this time he did knew where the event was happening

after a few minutes leona got impatient and started to look for him

'damn him, planning this whole thing, dragging me along. then had the guts to leave me waiting?'

he stormed over to the cafeteria, that's where most people are at this hour

his eyes scan the room, landing on one particular table

there, a particularly love sick fae and the newcomer acting as if they were dating the two months they've known each other

but what really bothered him was y/n sent a knowing smirk to him, and went back to being all sweet and gross to the person leona was supposed to be with in the headmasters room

so leona left, maybe it was because of the headache, maybe it was because he felt pity to the ramshackle prefect

someone was knocking on the door, yuu thought that maybe y/n has a visitor so being a good roommate she opened the door

it was leona, so she was sure that it was for y/n

"oh, y/n's out right now" she whispered closing the door

but his foot prevented that

"yuu look, I don't know how to apologize properly. so I'm sorry" he took a big breath before continuing "the new comer love potioned most the school to get in our heads and manipulated us"

the scene escalates as yuu finally breaks

that's why they're villainizing her?

hours of comforting yuu, leona let's her rest

after that hellish month, he can't even comprehend how tired she must be

ending in a comfortable position of him laying on the sofa, and yuu on his chest

"yuu?" he asks thinking she'd be asleep "hmm?" she mumbles

"aren't you angry?" he asks "you know, malleus knew about the potion, he knew about the lies." he slid in

"what?" she couldn't believe it, how could he?

they were friends, now he sides with them knowing that?

"yeah, earlier I went to the cafeteria and saw them acting like a couple" he says 

y'know honesty is the best policy, so he should be honest with her. sort of

"how could he do that to you? I thought you two were close friends" he continues

"I guess we were" she mutters nuzzling her face more into his chest, just wanting to rest

"he really fucked up, I mean your special. but people refuse to see it." he whispers

"you were honest, kind, patient. forget about him, let's expose their lies" he says

"can I even do that? I mean the whole school is at their disposal" she wants to yes, but she doesn't want to lose to a wannabe like y/n

"trust me, I'll make them pay for what they did to you" he says caressing her hair, lulling her to sleep

waking up, she feels the most refreshed she's been in weeks. maybe it's because leona comforted her, or because she slept with him. but whatever

asking about his plan now, she was worried. what if it doesn't work?

but listening to it now, oh it's gonna work alright

"I learnt this yesterday, the staff isn't under their potion, so that's an advantage to us. also there are days where the potion is weak, we'll have to strike then" he says

"but for now, let's collect evidence against her" so that week consisted of yuu following y/n around to catch them doing shady things

but as the days go on, she feels disheartened. literally nothing happened, in fact her previous friends look happier with them than they ever did with her

so she tells herself this is the last day, maybe leona was wrong. there was no potion

following them into an abandoned hall of the school, they enter a room. a library with miscellaneous things as it was used as a storage room of sorts

so she hid behind one of the book shelf, when a strong smell of roses and cinnamon attacks their nose

she held her nose and peeked, what could cause such strong smell

it was y/n filling up a bottle with the contents of an old cauldron, smiling to themselves

yuu took that opportunity to record the whole thing, and stayed back to get a sample of it

once done she immediately met up with leona to tell him what she caught

"then I saw them filling up a spray bottle with the potion, do you think that this will be enough?" she asks him

"this is perfect, you're amazing yuu" he smiles at her

oh no, don't blush don't blush don't blush

"thank you" she smiles back

as yuu was getting evidence, leona was looking to see if the potion was weak today. it was

so the two marched up to the headmages office to tell him everything

to their luck the staff were holding a meeting

their lies, the potion, the hell they put yuu through. with evidence of course, presenting them the video, and the sample

"oh my, to think they would do such thing" crewel mutters

"could you lead us to that room?" crowley asks

crowley was normally laid back, but this this is not okay

the staff went to the room were the potion was brewed, and there they were

standing over a cauldron brewing more, they're assuming after running out

they got startled, dropping the container

"professors! haha what are you doing here" they said fidgeting almost immediately

"puppy step aside, we'll have to inspect the potion you're making" crewel says

y/n trembles. no this cannot happen, they almost won!

their eyes shot from crewel to the other's in the group

who could have known? was it apart of the staff? was it a student? it was yuu!

y/n glared at her

this bitch, how dare she

at a last attempt of escape y/n tipped the cauldron hoping for it to splash on all of them

but before it could really splash, crowley had stopped the liquid mid air and tying them up with his whip

how could they have lost? everything was at their hands! they could've won!

they slumped, giving up. what could they even do now?

heading back to the headmages office, sending anyone who knew how to brew an anti-love potion to a closed classroom then handing it out to every single student

crowley called for a dormleader meeting and that's where he explained everything

everyone was aghast how dare that vile-

he also explains now that they are going through a trial, as a citizen of this world and as an adult. due to the severity of the crime

no they were not imprisoned, but was sent to a secluded building with 24 hours surveillance camera, and a therapist

no they were not satisfied, a month was wasted because of them. but they guess that it's fine, they are in isolation and away from everyone after all

yuu had never been spammed irl

but I guess there's a first for everything. they remember it all the way they ostracized her, almost like they forced her into isolation

but leonas words were stuck in her mind

aren't you angry?

yes I am

you were honest, kind, patient.

yes I was

forget about him

I will

and so she did

she forgave all those who were under the potion, but malleus, oh malleus she could never forgive. even in her dying breath

he betrayed her, why should she forgive him?

she won't

a lazy lion smirks knowing this

I am brewing sum mf angst in my wattpad my works thing. I am in a angsty roll goddamn who hurt me. I'm so tired from school and like there's no cute guys there, and literally no one caught my eye guy or girl

"see the finest girl in twisted wonderland! coming all the way from pomefiore in nrc! make an entrance to entrance! dance! yuu!" the announcer said before throwing down a handful of pink powder

it causing a small explosion and in his place, yuu dressed in the finest clothing. although a bit on the revealing side

a red dress with purple accents. a fitted off the shoulder top, with flowy short sleeves made of chiffon. the skirt was a pencil skirt shape that goes down to the ankles, but with a slit on the right side that goes up the upper thigh

her hair was down with a golden/silver headband adorned with rubies (or any jewels which color compliment you) her ears, wrists, and ankles also covered in gold/silver 

dancing to the song of the festival, with a chiffon fabric in hand. swaying and gliding in the stage as if it were ice

rollo was confused weather to be disgusted or entranced

he cannot deny that you were beautiful, ethereal even. if he were to categorize you, he would probably label you as a goddess

but your clothing, the way you present yourself. do you not have self respect? only modest women are respectable women

you continued to jump and dance around, when you then went to the other side of the stage. where rollo's chair was stationed

dancing around the chair before plopping yourself in his lap, bringing him in with the fabric. caressing his face, bringing your face toward his

before playfully exchanging the fabric with his hat, leaving him stunned

continuing the dance around the stage, a few flips, and a split. before taking a guards spear, stabbing it to the ground, and using it as a poll to spin around in

after spinning around a bit you stopped, facing the crowd posing, your right arm and leg up in the air

"and now ladies and gentlemen, here it is the moment you've been waiting for!" the announcer said as you left the stage

rook handing you a towel and a bottle of water. teasing you for taking the school presidents hat

after the event outside the nrc students left to their rooms to freshen up before the ball. they call it a ball but it was more of a casual socializing event

the guys were wearing suits that closely resemble their dorm uniform whilst yuu took a different approach

a form fitting purple spaghetti dress with a v-neckline and a slit also going up the thigh. and white tulle on her shoulders tied in the front

her hair styled with a small crown, and wearing stud earrings

rollo went and did his responsibility and conversed with the students of nrc

the chat was nice, no pauses too long to be considered awkward

the chat ended with some members departing, others sticking around

"pardon me? rollo, right?" yuu asked already knowing the answer

"hmm? yes you're correct" he said

"ah, I just wanted to return this, it would be awfully impolite for me just to keep it" yuu said handing over a box containing a freshly washed hat 

the two continued to converse, seemingly not running out of thing to talk about

they found out that they have a lot in common

from their hobbies to favourite foods, they were like the missing halves of each other

the moon was up in the middle of the sky, departing them

heading to her room yuu felt giddy, finding a gentleman like him

rollo however already planned how to talk to her again, researching her interest and likes

rollo doesn't like that sultry woman, no he couldn't. that could be considered a sin by itself 

but can you blame a man for being swayed by the siren's call?

in front of a fire place he repents, for conversing with such woman, for liking such woman

maybe he could be the one to bring her salvation. yes, who else could do it but him
