?[I belong to you]? (English)

Chapter 43

————————————

"So how's your girlfriend?"
Nathan asks once Destiny is back in class

"she says she's fine, I hope that's true"

"why what happened?"
Nathan asks sincerely concerned

"She told her parents about us and they took it very badly. They even wanted to force her to leave me"

"What a piece of styrofoam"
The boy said with a grimace

"You should review your range of insults ahah"
Destiny says amused by the vocabulary Nathan has decided to use

"hey i insult with class"
He explains regally

Once the last hour of class is over the two friends join Audrey, so Destiny inform her about the Zoe situation as well

"I'm so sorry sis, her parents must be ogres"
Audrey says with an angry look on her face but still in her calm tone of voice after hearing her friend's tale

"ok you two were made for each other ahah"
Says Destiny noticing a certain similarity in the two's bizarre way of insulting

"what!?"
The alchemist and Audrey ask in unison with wide eyes

"nothing nothing"

"so what did you decide to do?"
Nathan asked curiously

"She said she doesn't want to pretend anymore"

"So she's lesbian?"
This time Audrey speaks

"no... I don't think so, she hasn't said she is"
Destiny replies unsurely

"so what is it that she doesn't want to pretend anymore?"
The alchemist asks slightly confused

"That she's single?"
Audrey guesses uncertainly

"ahaha definitely that little sis. Now she can go around bragging about being in a relationship with me"
Destiny says happily, walking proudly

"If I were her, I would keep pretending then"
Nathan said, trying to keep a straight face but laughing clearly under his breath

"how dare you insult my person?"
Destiny starts talking like she's out of the 1500

"I dare, young lady!"
Nathan replied using the same vocabulary

"Then I will be forced to challenge you to a duel Messer!"

"I gladly accept your challenge, we'll see who is more valuable"
The two of them take out the lines they used during the hours of technique and cross them as if they were swords, then both of them turn towards Audrey who in the meantime has started to film them secretly

"Audrey you- Heyyy what are you doing?"
Asks Nathan who wanted to tell her to referee

"I'm filming proof that you guys are really weird"

"Says the one who calls people ogres"
Destiny throws back at her pointing the line at her

"big sis sometimes I wonder if you two are actually older than me"
Audrey says apathetically but visibly amused by the situation

"hey since when have you been so gross?"

"What did I say that was gross?"

"apparently big sis has to teach you some manners again"
Destiny affirmed approaching the girl

"what are you going to do...?"
Audrey asks fearfully, continuing to film as Destiny approaches her black panther style

"Destiny look I'm still filming"
The girl informs her trying to intimidate her

"Audrey~"
Destiny talks like she's a spirit that just came out of a haunted house and then starts tickling Audrey

"no- ahahah, stop- stop ahahah stop you- please. Ahahaha I can't take it anymore"
Audrey begs her as she slumps to the ground from laughing

"never disrespect your big sister"
Destiny says, stopping and stealing her phone

"no give it back!"
Shouts Audrey getting up

"I'll delete the video first"

"nooo don't do that"
The girl complains trying to grab the device but Destiny uses her height to stop her from doing so

"Now you can have it back"
The wolf says victoriously with a smirk

"you're an ogre too, big sister..."
Says Audrey puffing out a cheek

"what did you say sis?"
Asks the wolf with a grin pretending not to understand

"Nothing!"
Audrey exclaims moving quickly away from her

"What about our duel?"
Nathan, who had been watching them the whole time, asked sadly and slightly disappointed

"That will be for the next time, Sir Alchemist"

"Alright, but don't forget Wolf"

"I couldn't possibly"

—————————

Two days have passed and both of them have forgotten about the duel, except for Audrey who, however, was careful not to remind them.

These days Zoe has decided to go back to school, her parents strangely haven't mentioned the subject anymore which the girl finds a bit suspicious, but she has decided not to mention the matter anymore as well hoping that the two will calm down and go back to ignoring her as they always did. She's managed to cut off a bit of "ties" with her group and be with Destiny even in public, she hasn't taken the step of being with her in the rich part yet but that's her next goal. She doesn't talk to Jennifer anymore, they are still desk neighbours but only exchange the most basic phrases as if they are strangers again.

A big change is happening a little bit in everyone's heart.
