DEIN

"Like..?" Lucas questioned. Dein's jaw almost dropped. 'He doesn't know what like is?! What the heck is wrong with this man?!' Dein thought. "Like is when you feel attracted to a person." Dein just explained. "I'm attracted to you, does this mean I like you?" Dein almost collapsed.  'He's too innocent!!' Dein screamed in her mind. ________________ The story revolves around Dein Malfein. As cliché as it may sound, in her high school year, she experienced being betrayed by someone she trusted. A betrayal that led to her downfall. A betrayal that changed her life. However, with only herself to rely. She pulled some strings and worked as an ordinary self defense instructor to survive and support her studies. She succeded and got a degree with the highest praise, however, it was almost impossible for her to find a job because of her history. Dein's goal is to become a succesful woman, where she doesn't need to worry about her daily expenses and future. So successful that those who trampled her in the past will look at her in regret. But in her present situation, everything doesn't seem to work. Not until he caught the interest of a certain man, Lucas Carlton. _______________ PS. THE PLOT DOESN'T 'ONLY' FOCUS ON REVENGE. THE STORY REVOLVES AROUND SITUATIONS IN DEIN'S LIFE, HER STRUGGLES, JOURNEY TO SUCCESS AND LOVE LIFE. WARNING: THIS STORY IS NOT MEANT TO BE PERFECT.

"I saw it too! The slap was so intense!"

"Yeah yeah, I can almost see a red handprint on her cheek!" we all bursted laughing as he acted out the scene on the viral video. A video clip from a drama is currently trending because of the savage and comedic act, now they are all talking about it in my vla6ss.

"You should become an actor Miles! I swear you will pass!" one of my classmates interjected while laughing, laughter followed from the circle because of his remarks

The whole class was laughing hard and the atmosphere was full of good vibes. I swear, school isn't boring when you have these kinds of friends.

I heard the door opened and I saw Cy coming in. I quickly waved my hand at her and grinned, she gave also out a little smile as a return. But I noticed her smile didn't reached her eyes. It was lifeless.

She made her way to her seat to leave her bag then came to our location.b

"What are you guys laughing at?" Cy asked as she sat along the circle.

"You know, the video that's trending right now, the slapping scene." Miles answered.

"Ahh.." Cy answered and sat on her seat.

"You still haven't watched it?" Cy smiled awkwardly.

"No," she answered.

"Oh...you should watch it." Cy just nodded.

She does look different today but I can't point out what it is.

I was busy scribbling on my notes when I saw one of Freya's toads approaching. She walked towards me and it looked like she wanted to say something. What's wrong with this toad?

"Freya wants you on the rooftop, she said it's something important." she whispered.

"If this is one of your schemes, i'm not going." I said directly and she shook her head no making me feel confused. Is this her act or not?

"You should go, she's waiting." She said and left me just watching her leave the room...

Should I go?

Nah...

_____________

So I still decided to go since I'm curious and the toad seems serious. I'm guessing this might be one of their immature pranks again but I'm bored so might as well ride with it. Well, I'm a girl who loves to have fun.

When I opened the door, I saw Freya. She looked at me and I couldn't figure out her expression. She looks anxious and disturbed. Why does her expression look constipated, now, this isn't something you see on a daily basis.

She came towards me and my eyes widened when she grabbed my hands all of a sudden. What with her?! I looked at her and her eyes looked at me as if pleading. Wait- what? Pleading...?

"You didn't tell Cynah that you're here right?" she asked nervously.

"No, why?" She's acting so weird, like very very weird.

She released a sigh and suddenly held both of my shoulders. I can't help but look at her weirdly, what is her deal?

"My father works under Cynah's family and when she knew my father worked under them she made me do things, but now she's gone too far. I-I can't do what she's asking." I look at her weirdly, do what?

"What do you mean? She made you do what?" I asked. She stared at me for a while and she took a deep breath.

"She's the one who made me do those things I did to you." I blinked multiple times at her to check if i'm hallucinating.

"Have you gone totally dumb? Gosh" I was about to leave when she suddenly grabbed my hand.

"Believe me! Cynah isn't what you think she is! She's jealous of you, that's why she wants to destroy you! And now she's asking me to push you on this rooftop and kill you! B-But....I-I can't!!" She shouted and I looked at her like she's crazy. I tried to remove her hand but her grip is too strong.

What nonsense is she saying? She must have lost her mind. Cynah is my best literally my best bud.

"If you don't believe me, here! Read all her messages!" She said and handed me her phone. I cautiously took it and looked at it.

Everything Freya did was in the messages...everything.

[If you don't want your father to lose his job, push her off the rooftop.]

[Don't worry you won't take responsibility.]

Is this a prank or something?!

I looked at Freya and she nodded "See? She's a monster Dein!" she said.

"Who are you calling a monster?" a voice suddenly came.

"C-Cynah!" Freya said surprised.

"Why aren't you doing what I told you to do?" I looked at Cynah. She looked relaxed and her expression, it's the first time I'm seeing this side of her. She looks different.

"So it's true?" She looked at me and her eyes went on the phone in my hand.

"Oh so you read it? Good, I won't have any problem explaining now since Freya...already said everything." my fist clenched, I tried my best to stay calm. So this is the true Cynah?

"Why are you doing this?" She looked at me and rolled her eyes. She walked towards me and pushed my shoulder with her pointing finger.

"Of course because you.....you shouldn't have existed in this world. I'm just doing time a favor, you'll die anyways I might as well just quicken it, right?" She said and laughed like a psycho.

W-what?

"You think i'm jealous of you? Ha! Of course not! I'm just taking what's mine, if you didn't exist then I would've been the one living your life!" she shouted and I flinched and stumbled when she pushed my shoulder again but this time her hand.

"You're crazy..."

She didn't say anything and she stared at me then she started laughing.

"I'm not crazy!" She shouted and I sawthat she was about to push me. My Myes widened in realization when I saw my feet were already near the edge.

Her hands immediately was about to push me again and before I could act, I just closedy eyes tightly as I felt hands puush me.

"AAHHHHH!!"

.

.

.

W-what? I'm not falling. I opened my eyes and saw the rough greyish ground. What happened?

T-then...who screamed?

"Someone fell!!"

"Oh my gosh! Call the ambulance!"

"Someone call the teachers!!!"

Trembling, I slowly looked down.

I-It's Freya!!!

I looked at Cynah and our eyes met, she shrugged then smirked as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Looks like you killed someone." she said, smirking. She turned around, picked the phone on the ground and left cassually

"W-what....?"
