“Enough, Danica,” Brie said quickly. “Everyone heard you. It’s just a math competition, not a big deal. And it’s not like I’m guaranteed to do well.”

Her words sounded humble, but inside, she was sure she’d ace it.

Just as that thought crossed her mind, she noticed Rosalie walking through the door.

Brie had tried before to connect with her, but it never worked. They hadn’t gotten close. She wanted to be Rosalie’s good friend.

Now, with both classes sharing a period, it finally felt like her chance. She could bring up the math competition, maybe even study with her.

She stood up, but before she could say a word, Rosalie walked straight to Cassia’s desk.

“Can I have a seat?” Rosalie asked.

Cassia lifted her gaze and saw who it was. She remembered Rosalie approaching her at the birthday party. Her eyes flicked to the empty chair no one else wanted.

“Yeah.” Her voice was cool and even.

“Thanks!” Rosalie sat down without hesit

her gift to Cassia.

Cassia glanced down at Rosalie’s open palm.

Resting there was a butterfly hair clip set with black obsidian. It was sleek and refined, quietly luxurious- exactly her aesthetic, though she rarely bothered with accessories.

Cassia thought about refusing, b

she finally reached out and took it.

Rosalie frowned. “Why are you p

it in your pocket?”

Cassia hadn’t planned to, but she noticed how Rosalie’s eyes kept flicking toward her hair.

“I’m not into wearing things like that.”

Rosalie scratched the back of her head, looking unsure.

“I kind of guessed that, but I saw it at a boutique last weekend, and it just screamed your name. I couldn’t leave without it.”

The piece had a dark, graceful charm with just a hint of softness.

Crafted from obsidian, it was entirely black, shaped into a delicate butterfly with polished wings.

To Rosalie, it fit Cassia perfectly, so she couldn’t help buying it.

“Could you try it on, maybe?” Rosalie asked. Even Rosalie was surprised that she dared to say it, especially with Cassia’s cool stare fixed on her. But she couldn’t resist the urge to see how it looked.

Cassia’s brows drew together, irritation flashing across her face.

Then she caught Rosalie’s eyes staring up at her, round and hopeful, like the Woods‘ dog when it wanted affection. Her temper cased.

“Fine.”

Rosalie shot up instantly, bursting with excitement.

“Then let me help you!”

Cassia leaned away, her posture calm but distant.

Rosalie blinked and let out a nervous laugh. “Okay, you can do it yourself.”

She glanced at Cassia’s head and thought, What was I thinking? You don’t get friendly with a tigress and expect to

live.

The thought made her hands feel cold.

Cassia clipped the accessory into her hair without much care, then turned her head toward Rosalie.

“There. Happy?”

“Wow! I knew I had a good eye. That clip looks like it was designed just for you!” Rosalie’s face glowed with joy. She had the sudden urge to grab her phone and take a dozen pictures–Cassia looked flawless from every angle.

“Wow, Cassia, you look stunning!”

Sacha’s voice rose from nearby, full of surprise.

Of course, it wasn’t only the clip. Cassia’s beauty had always been magnetic, but that small detail lifted it to another level.

With the slightest touch, she became breathtaking.

Kaleb and a few of the boys couldn’t help watching too. They saw Cassia speaking quietly with Rosalie, her dark hair now set with that black butterfly clip..

Before, her beauty had felt sharp and distant. Now it was gentler, like the first snow settling on quiet ground.
