A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 12
Chapter Twelve
The next day started like normal. I had breakfast in the kitchen with my mother before Lucy helped me get ready for school. Lucy didn‘t mention the letter and acted as if everything was normal which I was grateful for.
My father was away on business but would be returning today and I was internally very excited to see him again. I didn‘t want our relationship to turn out like how it had in my previous life. I knew now that deep down he loved me, even if he didn‘t show it outwardly. It wouldn‘t be like how it was before where I would always try to avoid him out of fear of disappointing him.
The school day seemed pretty average too. People were still staring but most had already forgotten about the day before. I was also thankful that there had been no strange encounters. 1
However, I couldn’t help but notice that, in my attempt to be more aware of the people around me, I‘d caught sight of Cai kissing a random girl a grade or two above me. They were giggling and sneaking off into an empty classroom to do Goddess knew what.
I sighed internally and rolled my eyes. He was one of those guys.
I headed to the library, ignoring the scene I‘d witnessed, and walked directly to my spot in the back corner. Immediately, I began making a list of things that would need to be set up. Things like new bank accounts, investments, etc.
Though somehow, I became so invested in my work, that I didn‘t even notice someone approach until a small timid voice piped up.
“Um, h–hi… Ariadne,” the voice stuttered.
I looked up and saw a girl about my age with mousey brown hair and blue eyes. She was small and held herself with an air of social awkwardness.
“…Hello,” I said cautiously, unsure as to what she wanted.
I didn‘t immediately recognise her but she did seem vaguely familiar. As if it were on the tip of my tongue and I should have known who she was.
“Um, I see you in the library every day. I usually sit just further down a bit. B–but it‘s okay if you don‘t know me!” I could tell she felt extremely nervous to be talking to me. “…I just wanted to say I heard you stood u p to Brayden yesterday, and I wanted to say thank you.”
She nervously tugged on the sleeves of her sweater.
“He‘s never been very kind to me,” she continued, “but no one in the school has the rank to be able to stand up to him. And I–I know you didn‘t do it for me! But I just wanted to say thank you anyway.”
I wasn‘t surprised to hear Brayden was a bully to the weaker wolves. He always gave off that sort of air about him, but I had luckily never needed to worry about him in high school. I‘d only gotten involved yesterday because he had crossed that line first.
“Anyway! S–sorry for bothering you. I‘ll leave you to your work,” she said and went to leave.
She‘d noticed how I hadn‘t said anything and took my silence as a confirmation I wasn‘t interested in talking to her. Truthfully though, I was silent in thought over how she reminded me a little of myself in the past. I could feel a similar loneliness inside her that I could relate to. In a way, we were also both victims o f Brayden, but that was something I wouldn‘t be able to explain to her.
