Fated To Three Betrayed By All Until She Rose (Leilani) by Ahvahh novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Stupid Caelum, stupid Gavin.

Leilani.

I slowly turned back to Maya, my voice barely above a whisper as I asked; "How do you know her?"

She scoffed, rolling her eyes with a kind of irritation that I’ve never seen her exude. Now, it almost seemed as if she disliked Chalice a lot more than I did, and that was funny. She said; "We met once when I went to shop for some bags and she was an absolute bitch. I would have given her a blue eye if she didn’t look so much like you."

Her response made me laugh despite myself. I snorted. "Don’t do that!"

"Girl, just scolding her that day made me feel bad. It felt as though I was scolding you!"

I chuckled so much that tears filled the corners of my eyes. But after that, we managed to forget all about Chalice and the triplets who were presently glaring holes into the back of my skull.

We ordered our food amidst chatter and we had just finished and were munching into our desserts when suddenly, a familiar sugary vanilla scent filled my nostrils. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, right!" Maya snorted, letting her fork drop into her plate of strawberry cheesecake just as Chalice approached us.

"Hi!" Chalice muttered with a smile— a smile that even blind people could see was fake.

I turned slowly to acknowledge her and then let my eyes rove along her body with exaggerated intensity. She cowered slightly at my glare but quickly fixed her posture and said; "I saw you from afar, sister, and decided to come say hello. Who’s the pretty woman with you?"

That was the tactic she usually always used to steal my friends when we were kids. It was the way she’d tried to befriend Agnes and failed... and how she’d gotten Amy and Dawn... and then Jennifer who then died shortly afterwards from unknown causes.

I frowned at the memory and turned to look at Maya who now looked like she was about to burn down the whole world. She had a deep scowl etched into her face, one that she didn’t even bother to hide as she turned to glare at Chalice. She spat; "Do you have a short-term memory?"

I froze. Chalice blanched.

"Huh?"

"Oh, I learned that you were in an accident recently so I’d like to know if you hit your head or something? So now, are you suffering from amnesia or you just plan to be stupid?" Maya asked, and goddess help me, I couldn’t stop my jaw from dropping.

My eyes widened so much, I feared it would bulge out of my skull. But that wasn’t the funny part. The funny part was Chalice’s face.

She looked so pink, and her eyes were so red, she looked like something straight out of an animation. Her usually smug face crumpled as she glared at Maya.

"Excuse me?"

I fought against the urge to giggle and failed. I failed so badly my chewed cheesecake almost came out through my nostrils. And after practically spluttering so much, I finally struggled to speak.

I snickered; "What Maya? Are you good?"

Chalice butted in just then. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she asked softly; "Have we met before? Or do you just have a personal vendetta against me?"

Maya’s eyes darted from my face to Chalice’s and then she scoffed. "Oh no, sugar. I don’t. You’re not that important!" And then turning to me, she continued; "Is she always like this?"

I frowned. "Like how?"

She shrugged defensively, then turned to a red-rimmed-eyed Chalice and muttered; "I don’t know... does she always feign innocence like this? Because I can swear that she wasn’t this soft with me when we met outside fifth street!"

I chuckled at Maya’s words saying nothing, because frankly, what was there to say?

Chalice was a self righteous bitch who got high from making people think she was some delicate little flower. And while I was already used to it, obviously Maya wasn’t.

Chalice wiped her face with the back of her hand and turned to face Maya with an apologetic look. She muttered softly, not stopping to cast a pointed look around us, as if beckoning for public attention.

She drawled; "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You don’t know what I’m talking about or you’re just trying to act dumb? How can you possibly pretend not to know me? Me, from Fifth Street?"

"I go to fifth street a lot, so I don’t know—" Chalice began to say but stopped when Maya waved her off in irritation.

"Do you quarrel with everyone there? Yikes! You must be such a bitch then. But since you’ve decided to ’forget me’, I’ll remind you. We met when I went shopping for bags, and then your friends and you tried to bully me. I then said that you were broke for wearing a fifty dollar dress, and that seems to not have changed one bit because the one you’re wearing now is from SHEIN, and it’s about 37 dollars and 60 cents."

My jaw dropped... like quite literally. In fact, anyone could pick it up with a shovel due to how low they hung.
