Note: No new chapters yet and I apologize! I'm going to put the continuation of the school au instead! I hope you enjoy as author suffers from college!
"A date... I have a date tomorrow and I don't know what I should wear on a date."
A depressed girl sits in the middle part of the cafeteria looking gloomy as she glances at her phone. Her classmate, the newly admitted transfer student from a few months ago in the private academy meant for only the wealthy, has found her way into a scholarship and has studied hard to keep her place.
The screen's light flickered as a notification pops up.

Evelyn: Take all the time you need, see you tomorrow.
Analissa: ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ See you tomorrow!

Lady Evelyn breathes in, putting the phone on the table before letting it all out.
"She's... too cute." The villainess lowers her head and bumps it into the table being unable to look at her phone without getting flustered. How lucky she was to be able to get a girl like Miss Analissa Blanchet on a date tomorrow.
A part of her still couldn't believe the popular transfer student Miss Blanchet has confessed that her feelings on valentines day- those feelings towards her were something romantic and not platonic.
"Hey, Evelyn- what are you mumbling about? Who's cute?"
"...!"
Lady Evelyn hides her phone, grabbing it and putting it in her pocket and then acting like nothing happened. "I'm not mumbling anything... have you eaten yet, Serene?"
The lackey of the villainess, Serene Sinclair also known to be the most loyal childhood friend of the villainess, daughter of one of the richest tycoons in Europe and U.K who has one of the oldest businesses in the world.
"Oh I have eaten but I'm on a strict diet, my dad told me that I should get a new nutritionist and that I need to watch my figure. I don't get why, I'm not planning on attracting any other suitors since I'm engaged to Ein." (Lady Serene) checks her nails, noticing that something is bothering her best friend. She just didn't know what could be bothering her- or well... instead of bothering should she say distracting instead?
"Right..." (Lady Evelyn) looks at her pocket where she hid the phone and frowned. She doesn't know if she could trust her childhood friend with this kind of information.
Lady Serene casually sits with her and nudges her sides. "Come on, I know when you're lying and telling the truth. I saw you looking so happy staring at your phone. Did you find anything interesting?"
The villainess shakes her head. "No one."
The lackey blinked in surprise, she was expecting the usual reply of 'It's nothing', 'I'm fine.' or something like that but she wasn't expecting it to be... a person?
"It's... a someone?" (Lady Serene) raises a brow in question as her friend could only purse her lips, her cheeks a little reddened on the face but she tries her best not to show how her face is really flustered and her heart skipped a beat.
"No... I mean it's nothing."
"Come on, Evelyn we've known each other since diapers or at least kindergarten. I know when you're lying, you're making those cute little furrowed eyebrows when you're focusing on trying to hide something." The red-haired lady points out her little eyebrows that were furrowed before.
Lady Evelyn fought with herself internally if she should tell her friend the truth, while she trusted her with everything- it's...
This is...
A special kind of matter that no one needs to know.
"And if you need help you can just ask." (Lady Serene) offered and that made the villainess' ears perk. She needed help in finding new clothes for her to wear on a date with Lady Analissa.
This could be her chance!
"...I have a date tomorrow that's why I'm a little happy."
"Oh."
With the reveal of her date, Lady Serene found it rather anti-climatic. The engagement between the prince of the school and the villainess were something of a public matter that everyone knew from the past years.
That Dereck is already a pain in the ass.
Hopefully he won't make her bestfriend sad but from the body language it seems that she's very deeply in love. The villainess' hands started playing with themselves getting a little fidgety being unable to meet her eyes.
"Did that Dereck finally grow a brain, saw how much of a catch you are and decided to finally dump that attention seeker of a transfer student?" She asks, rolling her eyes.
"No it's with someone else and... it's a girl."
"...!"
Thud!
Lady Serene hit her thighs at the table as she stood firm on her seat, stunned at what she was hearing. "A girl- you... swing that way? You're going out with someone when you're engaged-!"
"Not so loud, what are you, crazy?!" (Lady Evelyn) covers her friend's mouth looking around the cafeteria, worried that random students have heard the whole thing but it seems they were busy with their own food or they were playing loud music in their ears.
The lackey lowers Evelyn's hand as she begins to talk in whispers. "Mngh, sorry I didn't mean to yell!"
She calms herself down, the news was rather shocking. "Come on, Evelyn, I was not expecting this kind of rebellious act from you. You've been a goody two shoes all of your life, this is the first time I've seen you act this way."
Lady Evelyn lowers her head further. "...It's all happened so quickly I couldn't say no because she was just so-"
Lady Serene already knew what kind of charm that blonde girl possessed, she sighs placing her chin into her hand looking bored. "Cute?" She couldn't help but finish her sentence for her leaving the villainess melting into the table burying her head down.
The Villainess sighs, "Extremely so."
Her blonde hair that shines under the sun's light, baby blue eyes that worth more than any expensive diamond in a ring. A girl so wonderful wherever she goes she can turn dozens of heads in her way.
"I can't believe the mighty vice president of the student council, one of the high ranked students in her year, a pro athlete in junior high and the next heiress to a multi billionaire company has been tamed by a girl I don't even know about." (Lady Serene) sounded a little mean but she meant well. She wants to protect her best friend from anyone who she'll date that might hurt her physically or emotionally.
There would be many people trying to take advantage of her after all.
"Who is this mystery woman? I can go ahead and invite her shopping sometime. I would love to meet her. You can give me her phone number~" She was a little excited about making a new friend.
Evelyn is a picky person to be with and she won't just let anyone inside her circle unless they're up to her standards. "Surely with your tastes Evelyn she must be a refined girl worthy of being by your side-"
"It's... the transfer student. I'm going on a date with Miss Analissa Blanchet."
...
A moment of silence.
"...you what?"
"I'll be going out on a date with Miss Analissa Blanchet tomorrow."
Lady Serene who has disliked the said transfer student for getting into the school and taking away her friend's spotlight-
They're actually in a situation ship that she didn't even know?!
So much for being her best friend!
"..." But she had to calm down, she shouldn't say anything too harsh or mean because this is the first time her friend experienced falling in love- and... it just happened to be the... transfer student that humbled her during the most important day of her life.
"Evelyn... are you crazy? I would've accepted any other girl in this school but you chose the very famous transfer student that is well known to hook up with all the guys in the school."
"That's... just based on rumors right?" (Lady Evelyn) knew of Miss Blanchet's reputation for being popular with the boys but... she saw no lie beyond her blue eyes when she confessed that she liked her.
"Listen I know my yapping can be annoying but you don't even know the girl that well- don't be like a Disney princess and show some respect for yourself."
"You don't know her either, Serene." The villainess snaps, defending the blonde girl. "I know what I'm getting into, Serene. I'm well aware that we're not exactly close and I don't know anything about her, but is it wrong for me to try and get to know her?"
"No... of course not, it's just- I don't like seeing you get hurt. I'm your friend, we watched each other grow and I can't believe you're breaking your parent's orders." The lackey tries to get closer, patting her friend's back who groans and holding herself together.
"I can't believe it either. I just... I don't know what to do. This is the first time I'm feeling like this. I sort of don't want it to go away." Her voice seemed to be desperate and lost, Evelyn Alarie for the first time in her life was feeling an unfamiliar feeling.
Lady Serene could see that and she didn't want to spoil her friend from experiencing a once in a lifetime event for a person. "Listen if she breaks your heart I'll give her a good slap in the face but in the end I respect and trust you... in everything else except for this."
"Serene."
"I'm kidding, let's get you some new clothes pronto. We don't want you looking like seaweed when you go out on your very first date, besty." She linked their arms together as they stood up from the table, Lady Serene took out her black card from her wallet and grinned, planning to treat her friend because of this wonderful occasion.
"Okay, so what kind of clothes do you want to wear on this date?"
