Meanwhile, Bianca's seat was flooded with people who wanted to know what was between she and Larry.
Bianca beamed with a bright smile.
Bianca:" Okay everyone! I can see you are too interested in me. Larry you see , so handsome and hot is my ... cousin."
The crowd went like, " Ooohh!"
Bianca:" That's it."
You don't expect us to believe empty words, we need evidence.", someone among them said.
" Yh", another supported.
Bianca:" Alright "
She called Larry and placed it on speaker.
Larry:" Hey Larry. My mates need clarification on something. If you don't mind."
Larry:" Anything for Bianky."
Bianca:" Define our relationship."
Larry:" Cousins "
" This can't be!", someone bursted out.
" They might have planned this ahead of time."
" Yh, so true. See the way, they call each other affectionately."
Larry burst into a short laughter.
Larry:" Guess I've got to introduce myself properly. I'm Larry Olson. You say we act affectionate. I won't deny it. Yes we do, you know why? Bianca is our Queen, doted on by her dad and elder brother and the only cousin of mine who's a girl. Of course, I'd dote on her. Besides we've got a good cousin bond. Besides if you and your cousin's bond is not great don't think we'd be like you. It's fine making rumors about me. I care less but not my cousin."
Bianca:" Thanks Larry. Let's end it here."
Bianca looked at them
Bianca:" Anyone else?"
" We were wrong Queen Bianky ", someone apologized.
" We dare not make any accusations anymore."
Bianca:" You know what? That was slander! How do you intend to compensate me?"
" Compensate?!"
Bianca:" Compensation for emotional stress, slander, tarnishing my name,-"
" We'd make more people follow you -"
Bianca:" You'd not expect me to believe your empty words without evidence."
" Alright, give us three days, if we don't increase your followers by twice it's number you can punish us according to your will."
Bianca:" Sounds reasonable. Glenda, take this people and get their names down for me."
Glenda:" On it"
They moved to Glenda's seat.
A girl approached her.
Girl:" Hi Bianca "
Bianca:" Hi "
Girl:" Can I talk to you?"
Bianca:" Who are you?"
Girl;" I'm sorry. I'm Mildred Raine. It's a relief Larry's your cousin. I-"
Bianca:" You don't meet someone for the first time from a distance and become head over heels with the person."
Mildred:" No, we've e met and spoken before."
Bianca:" Really?!"
Mildred:" Yh, don't you remember? At Kandle Boutique."
Bianca:" I've never seen you there."
Mildred:" I was running a shift for my sister. An-"
Bianca:" You're that girl who wants to snatch my cousin. I remember now."
Mildred:" I'm from Class G. Can you at least link me to your cousin."
Bianca:" Meaning?"
Mildred:" His contact info "
A look of desperation lit in Mildred's eyes.
Bianca felt disgusted by that look.
Class G, Class E's rival class.
They were also in senior year.
Two School Queen candidates - Yaya Lee and Ishbel Saleh - belonged to that class.
But it wasn't a reason enough to despise her.
She dared rivaled Elsie Stone, the sole heiress of the Stone Empire in Springfield City.
Who did she think she was?
Bianca:" He taken."
Mildred:" At least his contact info would do."
Bianca:" Who do you think you are? What family are you from?
Mildred:" Raine Family"
Bianca:" Raine? Mimi, do you know any family called Raine?"
Mimi:" Never heard."
Bianca:" Thanks, Jude, heard of a family called Raine?"
Jude:" No, ask Zen. He's an expert."
Bianca:" Alright. Zen, heard of Raine Family?"
Zen -" Nope. Need help?"
Bianca:" Nah! Just a random question?
Zen:" Alright"
Bianca:" Do you think you're some heiress? From a no-name family, you want my cousin's contact info?"
Mildred:" Does that matter?"
Bianca:" Of course, it does!"
The sudden outburst of Bianca drew attention.
Mildred:" If I'm not rich as you are, does it matter? Your dad runs a company your mom runs another. Your family is the second richest in Newzee. My dad died when I was two. My mom has a congenital heart disease. My sister works 3 jobs just to support the family. Does this ever matter?"
Bianca:" I'd say it again. It does. By the way I've seen some like you already. Launching out on rich guys for money. My cousin doesn't need a Mistress in his private life. Lastly, your sister broke company rules. You'd hear the rest when you get home. Good luck."
Mildred was stunned.
Mildred:" What... What do you mean?"
Bianca:" I can't watch a Mistress get into my cousin's life!"
The people around heard it.
" Tsk, tsk tsk. At such a young age planning to be a Mistress already. So outrageous.", someone said.
" At least some dignity would do."
From some no-name family, what dignity could she possibly have?"
Mildred:" Who gave you the right to speak of my family? Bianca, I came to you, why do you have to drag my family into this?"
Bianca:" You dare question me?"
Mildred tried to save face by leaving the class.
She regretted making such a move.
She failed to realize they we're worlds apart.
