Taking a Step Back

Both the boys were a little surprised by her action and could only reluctantly catch their balance. Aphina felt the two almost fall backwards and quickly let go while blushing. Normally, even if she had a bit of a temper, she was good at keeping the correct image in front of others. This time, the feeling of beating Keaton made her too elated to control herself. However, before she could clear the air, Eris also came over and brought everyone into a group hug herself.

"No need to be strangers! We should celebrate when good things happen. Go us!" Resuming her usual playful look, she gave a cheeky wink towards Aphina. 

"Oh, okay. Haha, Eris you're right!" Aphina felt more confident after getting a sturdy backing and began to jump up and down again in delight.
