Re: The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 16 - The Birth Of A Villainess

I was on my way to the cafeteria all alone because Gwen, apparently, had something to do so she wasn't around and she would only be back later. This is the first time that I'm not with her since we started going to school and I had never felt so lonely until now.

It doesn't matter though! I am a strong independent girl!

Some noble girls that I passed with greeted me which I had gotten used to. It feels nice anyway…

My eyes scanned the surrounding, looking for an empty table or a seat, either of the two is fine. As I was striding towards the empty area I saw, someone called me so I turned towards whoever it was.

"Miss Nadia! Here!" A girl says.

The table was filled with other noble girls, they numbered seven, and there was an empty seat at the far corner. She was gesturing for me to sit with them and the others were all smiling at me in welcome.

Well, if they impose~ .

I walked towards their table and smiled at them in gratitude. In my eyes, they are already heaven-sent people. At least, I am not going to be alone fufufufu

"Thank you for letting me join~" I greeted and sat down next to a black-haired beauty.

One of them smiled warmly in return, and the others greeted me in friendly tones. This should be the norm!

"Miss Nadia, how come your friend isn't with you today?" A girl asked.

"Gwen is currently occupied with something, but she'll be here later!" I replied and sipped on my tea.

Two other girls looked at each other meaningfully, but remained silent, and just continued smiling. I was so engaged in my tea that I didn't notice some of them were glancing with one another.

"Hmm, but Miss Nadia sure looked different today," one girl remarked while squinting at me.

I blinked at her. "Do I? I didn't do anything different with myself though?"

Maybe there's dirt on my face that I didn't know? Heh, that would be embarrassing.

"You're right! She really looks different!" One chime in and stared at me.

The others started staring at me as well which I find very uncomfortable.

"Uhh…"

"Are you still sleeping properly, Miss Nadia? Your skin looks dull!" The girl on the far left suddenly announced and I almost spat out the tea I was drinking.

Excuse me?

"Ohh~ Now that you say that Chiwa Wa, she really looked tired!" Another one joins.

"Miss Nadia, you should take a rest sometimes! You're looking like some wilted flower now!" And another one.

The girl on my right started laughing as she looks me over.

"Maybe it's because of the color of the dress she's wearing that made her skin look dull," She snickers afterward. "Color red doesn't suit you, Miss Nadia, it's like, your blending in with your eyes which makes you very unnoticeable!"

One of the girls from earlier nods in agreement.

"I actually didn't notice her, walk in! Good thing Shie Tzu called her or I wouldn't know it was Miss Nadia!"

I sat there, not knowing what to feel. I was shocked, offended, and a little mad at the same time.

Like, what the hell? What's that supposed to mean?!

I noticed that four girls were snickering like they find me funny. The other though, looked really awkward and doesn't know if they want to escape from there or just melt in their seats. They were also glancing in my direction worriedly.

The black-haired girl beside me continued sipping her tea, looking like she doesn't give a single care about what's happening at this table. I envy you…

"Is that so," I answered and gave them a bland smile.

I mean, maybe I'm just overthinking it and they might, MIGHT just be being…

You know what, I don't know! I don't know what they're thinking at all! That's rude! Even if they meant no harm, that is still very rude!

"Oh! I would recommend a lotion for your skin, Miss Nadia! It's really effective!" This girl called Chiwa Wa says.

'She's still not going to stop huh.'

"U-Uhmm…" One of the awkward-looking girls from my front uttered, "I-I don't think there's nothing wrong… with… Miss Nadia…" The longer she talks, the more it gets whispery because the other girls were now staring her down.

That confirms it then. They're really doing it on purpose.

The girl from my right turned to me and grinned.

"Don't listen to her, she's not worried about you at all! That's why she's saying that!"

"Yes, you really look terrible today. It's like you're in mid-thirties!"

"That's rude, Rian Husky! She doesn't look that old!"

One of them silently sniggered as her eyes bored at Nadia from the corner, sitting ramrod straight, and looking like she ate something sour. Her eyes gestured at the girl sitting at Nadia's right side and blinked as a signal.

The girl, after seeing this, suddenly moved. Her sleeves knocked off her teacup, sending its contents spilling towards Nadia's dress.

"Oh my! I'm sorry! It was an accident!" She claims and stared at Nadia. She was laughing inside as she watched her face contorting even more.

'The fvck?' Nadia thought.

"Ah, but don't worry! I have a spare dress for you to change into! I mean, it's fine, right? We're all friends here after all," She added as she looked at me straight in the eye.

I looked at the sleeves of my dress, and down to the side of my skirt, which had gotten wet from the tea. I felt numb and extremely irritated.

A hand stretched out from my left, holding out a handkerchief. It was the black-haired beauty, and she was gesturing at me to take it.

"Thank you," I mumbled and gratefully took it from her and started dabbing my skirt in an attempt to dry it off.

The table was really silent, except for the occasional giggles coming from those four stupid bitches.

How impudent…

These impudent girls...

'What the heck am I doing? Why am I sitting here being prissy?'

I really want to hit a bitch…

No. I am reforming. I am not the old obnoxious Nadia anymore. Hitting someone isn't good. It would just make me look bad.

Wait. No. Who cares about that?

Why would I care about being a goody-two-shoes to these people? They don't deserve my kindness! I don't care what they think of me! They started it!

'Stupid! Stupid Nadia! Have you forgotten who you are? You're Nadia!'

My hand didn't stop rubbing my sleeves, trying to dry it.

Exactly. I am Nadia. I should be the one bullying others not the other way around. I'm getting carried away by my naivety that I even forgot my original role.

That's right.

I am a villainess!

If they don't want me to be good, then I'll give them bad!

I'll show them what a great villain can do.

Suddenly feeling invigorated, I scoffed as I wiped my hands.

"The audacity…"

After making sure my hands are dry, I looked up at them and painted a smirk on my face.

"Friends? I have no intention of befriending a nobody…"

The girl to my right gasped as if shocked.

"Nobody?!"

I stared at her and held my chin up.

"A viscount rank, a nobody."

The girl's eyes widened even more, which made me feel satisfied. How fvcking dare her, right? You pushed my buttons, then be ready for the consequences. I don't cuss much, but when I really get mad, I spout colorful words if I want to…

"T-that's mean!" Chiwa Wa exclaims.

My eyes landed on her. She's the one who told me that my skin looked dull, right?

"Mean? But I'm saying the truth!" I replied, blinking at her innocently. "I mean, the truth hurts right?" I added and let out a small chuckle. "The four of you shouldn't be even staying at the same table as me."

"! ! !"

I grabbed my teacup, let out a smile, then stood up, and proceeded to deliberately pour it overhead to the girl at my right side. The girl gasped out loud, getting stunned by my action. It soaked her hair, trickled to her face, and down to her neck.

"Oops, it was an accident! My hand suddenly slipped!" I then knocked another cup towards her, "Ah! It slipped again! My apologies…" I mocked and smiled at her darkly. "I seemed to have a lot of accidents today."

This is vengeance, bitch!

The other three bitches looked at me, looking really appalled at what I just did and I stood there, beaming at them. The other girls watched in interest and were also gazing at me in astonishment.

All of a sudden, the girl at my right burst out in tears which made all of us stare at her.

'What? That was it? You're crying just with that? Pathetic…'

The girl sitting beside her, Shih Tzu, stood up abruptly and started pointing fingers at me.

"You!"

"What?" I cut off.

My eyes lowered at her finger and looked at it in indifference.

Smirking, "Are you going to tattle to your dad? What can a count do to me?" I scoffed.

"! ! !"

Rolling my eyes, I then surveyed the table, particularly scrutinizing those other two girls who mocked me.

"I am going to remember this day, so should you~" I stated before finally walking away from those annoying flies.

The people who were walking opposite me all parted. I was aware that my expression looked dark, it was evident in the reactions of those who saw me. But I didn't care. I have made up my mind now.

'Remember this day well. Because this is the day that I made my resolve.'
