Oh My, BETTINA-SAMA!

Chapter 100

I did it.

I really did it this time.

Tensed as I was,  I was so surprised when someone tapped my shoulder that I almost throw a punch.

"My!  You startled me,  O'Brein-sama"

I said trying to gain my composure back.

He frowned as his eyes stared straight at mine.

◐.̃◐

Stop staring will you!

"It was you right?"

I looked back at him and frowned.

"What do you mean? "

I asked shortly.

"Emily Dott and Erika Allunet"

He said.

I paused for a moment and then later on curved my lips upwards.

I tilted my head with a cold grin on my face.

"Ara?  You're going to lecture me again?  Or you'll say something terrible again? "

I asked him grinning and mocking.

Instead of answering me back,  he just pat my head and smiled.

"You did great,  Bettina-san"

Frozen at the moment,  O'Brein-sama left me with a smile on his face.

Speaking of the devil,  I haven't seen him for quite a long time since we're not classmates anymore.

I shook my head and ignored him.

As I head towards the salon to unwind a bit,  there I saw the approaching figure of Maxwell-sama

As if everything turned in slow motion,  Maxwell-sama's originally childish and docile appearance turned mature and serious that I feel compilated towards him.

"Betti-chi"

Even though he calls me like he usually do,  something behind his voice  changed that I can't figure out what.

"Maxwell-sama"

He smiled beautifully that can make any girl's heart flutter. 

"Where are you headed to? "

He asked. "To the salon.  Why?  Something you need from me,  Maxwell-sama? " I answered.

He smiled as he brushed his hand against his hair.

"You see..."

*****

What Maxwell-sama wanted from me that day was to tell me that he have a present from me.

It turns out that he had a short travel to the US after the exams and brought me some present which I gladly took.

That aside,  today's gonna be the day that the rankings will be posted.

And as usual,  the girls are currently sith me to see the rankings.

I corssed my fingers hoping that I've done well this time.

"Oh my~ congratulations Betti-sama! "

"13th place?  That's amazing Betti-sama! "

The girls said and congratulated me.

≥﹏≤

Uwaaahhhhhhh

I made itttttt!!!!!!!!!!

I advanced in ranking ahhhhhhhhhhh

"My~ that was lucky of me"

I answered humbly while wearing my usual ojousama demeanor.

I looked calm and composed on the outside but inside me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

I PLACED 13TH!!!!!

~\(≧▽≦)/~

(σ≧▽≦)σ

Uwaaahhhhhh..

From 21st to 13th ahhhhhhhhh..

Oi.

I know it's somehow shallow but for someone who's not smart as me,  13th place is almsot impossible to achieve ahhh.

Thank heavens

Thank Lomiere-sama

◟( ˊ̱˂˃ˋ̱ )◞⸜₍ ˍ́˱˲ˍ̀ ₎⸝◟( ˊ̱˂˃ˋ̱ )◞

"13th huh?"

As usual,  that mocking voice of his whenever the rankings being posted spoke behind me.

However,  since I'm feeling so happy right now,  I decided to disregard that and turned to look at him with all smiles.

"My~ Good day to you,  Lomiere-sama and Steffan-sama"

Steffan-sama smiled soothingly at me.

"Good day to you too Reinhart-san. You're rather lively today huh? "

He commented. I giggled as I shove my hair at the back of my ear.

"Why~ Am I being obvious?"

I asked acting all shy.

Oi.

Bettina.

You're creeping yourself out.

What are you acting shy for?

What the heck.

On the other hand,  Lomiere-sama,  wearing his usual cold and nonchalanct expression looked at me.

"Then don't forget our deal,  idiot~"
