{ PURE MESS }

Walking To The Canteen With Lisa And Maya Was Like Being Dragged Into A Sitcom I Didn't Sign Up For

They Were Already Deep Into One Of Their Ridiculous Conversations About Some Poor Guy From Our Computer Class

Maya

I Swear To God, Lisa

Maya, Aka The Bat Lady, Said Dramatically

Maya

That Guy Wears So Much Black, I’m Convinced He’s Secretly A Bat. Or A Goth Vampire. One Of The Two

Lisa Giggled, Nearly Dropping Her Phone

Lisa

Maybe He’s Just Trying To Look Cool. Or Hide The Fact That He Has No Fashion Sense?

Maya Shook Her Head, Dead Serious

Maya

Nah, I’m Telling You, He Probably Has A Batcave Somewhere. I Can Sense It. Bat Lady Instincts And All

I Rolled My Eyes, Struggling Not To Laugh

Reshu/FL

Great. Remind Me To Avoid Dark Alleys On Campus. I Don’t Wanna Get Ambushed By Your Vampire-Bat Hybrid

But Honestly, With The Way My Life Was Going, I Wouldn’t Be Surprised If Some Vampire Dude Decided To Make An Appearance And Add To The Drama

We Finally Reached The Food Counter, And I Grabbed A Tray

As I Was Piling On Some Fries, I Couldn’t Help But Let My Mind Wander

Because, You Know, A Girl Has To Eat

I Was Just About To Take My First, Glorious Bite When Geneva Gave Me A Hard Elbow

Geneva

Yo, Reshu. Drama Incoming

I Looked Up, And Sure Enough, There It Was: Raizel, One Of The Campus Heartthrobs, Was Dragging Zenith Out Of The Canteen By Her Wrist

Zenith Looked Like She Wanted To Murder Him And Then Bury His Body In The Quad

Raizel, On The Other Hand, Was Smirking Like He Didn’t Have A Care In The World

Reshu/FL

Well, This Is Straight Out Of A Teen Rom-Com

I Muttered, Raising An Eyebrow. Geneva Snorted

Geneva Added

Geneva

Can We Get A Camera Crew In Here Or Something? Someone’s Gonna Make Millions Off This Mess

Before We Could Get Another Word In, I Felt An Icy Stare Lock Onto Me. Enter Elle, The Queen Of Petty Drama And My Mortal Enemy From The Data Science Department

Glaring At Me Like I’d Just Insulted Her Whole Family Lineage

Elle ( Serenity )

What’s So Funny, Reshu?

Elle Snapped, Her Eyes Narrowing

𝙊𝙝, 𝙃𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙒𝙚 𝙂𝙤. 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙖 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙩

I Plastered On My Sweetest, Fakest Smile

Reshu/FL

Just Enjoying The Free Entertainment. What About You, Elle? Or Are You Always This Uptight?

Her Gaze Could’ve Burned A Hole In My Skull

Elle ( Serenity )

At Least I Don’t Make A Fool Of Myself Every Day

𝙊𝙝, 𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙘𝙝, 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙒𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙂𝙤 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚?

My Mind Was Already Filling With Curses

𝙄 𝙎𝙬𝙚𝙖𝙧, 𝙄𝙛 𝙍𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙮𝙚𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙆𝙞𝙡𝙡, 𝙔𝙤𝙪’𝙙 𝘽𝙚 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙏𝙬𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝘽𝙮 𝙉𝙤𝙬

But Outwardly, I Just Shrugged

Reshu/FL

Well, Someone’s Gotta Keep The Canteen Drama Going. Gotta Keep The Masses Entertained

Lisa And Maya Were Watching With Pure Amusement, Like This Was Their Favorite Soap Opera. Maya Whispered

Maya

Get Her, Reshu

Elle’s Eyes Narrowed, Her Anger Practically Radiating Off Her Like A Death Ray

Elle ( Serenity )

At Least I’m Not A Loud-Mouth Computer Science Major With An Ego Problem

𝙊𝙝, 𝘽𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙈𝙚

My Mind Was A Swirl Of Curses

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚—

But Outwardly, I Just Laughed

Reshu/FL

Right, Because Being A Data Science Major Automatically Makes You Superior? Keep Dreaming, Elle

Lisa Whispered

Lisa

Round One, Reshu Versus Elle

Geneva

Let’s Get The Popcorn

Before I Could Respond To Elle’s Death Stare, She Stalked Toward Me And Purposely Bumped Into My Tray

My Food Went Flying, Crashing Onto The Floor In A Greasy

I Watched My Hopes Of A Peaceful Lunch Crash To The Ground, And My Blood Boiled

𝙈𝙮. 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨. 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙁𝙤𝙤𝙙

Elle ( Serenity )

Enjoy Your Lunch

Elle Said, Smirking As She Walked Away Like She Was Queen Of The World

𝙊𝙝, 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝘼𝙗𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙚—

I Had To Swallow Down A String Of Curses That Could’ve Made A Sailor Blush

𝙀𝙡𝙡𝙚, 𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙚𝙩 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙪𝙛𝙛 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙐𝙥 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧—

Geneva Quickly Grabbed My Arm To Keep Me From Going Full Hulk Mode, Then

Geneva Gave Me A Sympathetic Pat On The Back

Geneva

She’s The Worst

Lisa And Maya Jumped In, Both Yelling

Maya

She Deserves A Curse. Voodoo Doll, Maybe?

I Looked Around At The Watching Students, All Eyes Glued To Our Little Drama

Reshu/FL

Well, Everyone, Show’s Over!

I Announced, Trying To Salvage My Pride

Reshu/FL

Next Episode, Same Time Tomorrow. Featuring Yours Truly And Her Favorite Villain!

I Knew This Was Far From Over. Because The War Between Computer Science And Data Science? It Was About To Get Even Messier
