My Frienemy

CHAPTER 3

*************

I quickly gobbled down the food in front of me. I completely ignored Eiysha, who was staring at me with a big frown on her face.

"I hope you choke to death." she whispered softly, but I still heard her.

I mimicked what she said, so she glared at me. I just laughed it off.

She's already pissed off. Mweheh.

I was eating lunch at her house. The two of us were the only ones there, except for their house helpers. Her siblings were still at school. And us? Of course, we skipped class!

Just kidding...

We are actually very good students.

Hehe...

None of our teachers show up for afternoon classes anyway, so we decided to have lunch here. It was fine if we ended up late because the teachers were all busy.

They were preparing for an upcoming event, so they weren't going into the classrooms to teach. Only the morning classes actually had lessons, because everyone became too busy by the afternoon.

Oh my gosh, Cathy, stop repeating!

Besides, it is so exhausting to sit in that classroom all day long! That's why we decided to stay here during lunch time.

But we cannot skip afternoon classes cause there is always that one classmate whom the teacher tasks to list down names of who's absent whenever she leaves the room. And those who are absent have to do community service.

I had just finished eating, and my stomach felt like it was going to burst because I was so full.

"Such a glutton." she said.

"I know, so give me some more desserts." I said without any hesitation. Her jaw dropped.

"Whatever!"

I laughed while watching her continue to eat so gracefully, like a proper lady.

Pffft... Haha!

So graceful, yet she is actually a sadist.

"You look like an idiot." she said, raising an eyebrow when she noticed I was holding back a laugh.

"At least I'm pretty." I replied, making a cute face in front of her.

She pretended to gag. In response, I threw the tissue in front of me at her, but she quickly avoided it.

"You are so disgusting!" she said in disgust, quickly covering her food.

I just burst out laughing. The tissue I threw at her was actually the one I had just used to wipe my mouth. It even had food crumbs on it!

I was kidding again... Of course I won't do that. It's disgusting.

"You're so dramatic!" I her teased loudly

She just sneered at me. I really felt like plucking her eyes out.

She even rolled them at me! How dare she!

"I feel like plucking your eyes out. Should I make them a... collection?" I said with a smile.

I emphasized the word collection while holding a fork and spinning it around.

Her jaw dropped. With wide eyes, she stood up and immediately backed away from me.

"YOU'RE CRAZY!!!" she screamed. She shrieked so loudly that I had to cover my ears.

What the!

I haven't even done anything yet...

She is screaming way too much.

She sounds like a pig about to be slaughtered...

"Don't come near me!" she said nervously as I stood up and walked toward her.

"I said NO! AHHHHHHHH!" she screamed, running out of the dining hall.

I laughed out loud at what she did. She sounds louder than someone using a microphone!

"I'm coming! BWAHAHAHA!" I laughed like a crazy person (even though I have been crazy for a long time) and chased after her.

I could hear her screaming clearly, which made me laugh even more.

The house helpers we passed by didn't know what to do. They were hesitating between helping their boss (who was screaming like a lunatic) stopping me from chasing her, or just letting us both completely lose our minds. Hehe!

"Hide as long as you can, because when I catch you, those eyes are mine!" I said, sounding completely insane, and laughed like I had lost my mind.

I smirked when I heard a loud thud from one of the rooms on the second floor. I quickly headed up and threw the door open.

"Caugh~" I stopped instantly when something exploded.

Shoot! I think I'm going to die!

"Sorry, not sorry." she said with a smirk.

I immediately ran down the stairs, feeling nauseous and grabbed onto the sofa as soon as I reached the bottom.

Damn it!

I knew it was a bad idea to follow her!

"Ma'am." one of the helpers said, handing me a glass of water. I quickly took it and chugged it down.

I also took a bottle of perfume they handed me and immediately sprayed it all over my body. I breathed in the lovely scent and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"HAHAHA!" I heard that witch laughing as she walked down the stairs.

"What do you think of my explosive surprise?" she asked with a smirk.

I glared at her, which only made her laugh louder.

Meanwhile, I collapsed onto the sofa, feeling completely weak.

What a horrible explosion!

"It's deadly."

I heard the helpers trying to hold back their laughter at what I said.

"Pffft... Nothing can beat my fart." she said proudly.

I just shook my head and threw a small pillow at her. She is a girl, but her farts smell so bad! It felt like she had been holding it in for a whole year.

If I hadn't run away earlier, I surely would have fainted from her toxic blast. It was the kind of smell where you take one breath and die instantly.

"Fix yourself up, frenny. We are leaving later." she said with a wide grin. "Mwah!" She even kissed my cheek before walking away.

I wiped my cheek in annoyance. I felt like the smell of her 'explosion' had rubbed off on me again.

Eww! So gross!

"GO TAKE A SHOWER!" I yelled.

"I should take a shower first too. I feel like the smell is sticking to me. How annoying!" I muttered angrily before following her.

"Hey! I'm going to take a shower, okay?" I told her. She just nodded.

"Put your uniform in the laundry basket too. I'll have Ate Elsa wash it."

"No need. I'll do it myself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I can handle it."

She just nodded, and we walked up to the guest room together. But still, there's a distance between us.

I might kick her ass because of what she did to me. Psh...

"There are extra undergarments inside. Just use them."

"Should I return them?" I asked, which made her slap my arm.

"You're so gross!"

"You're way grosser! Yours is deadly." I said, gagging.

I remembered the smell again. It suddenly made me want to throw up. But I didn't want to waste the food I just ate, so I decided against it. Keep it together, stomach.

She just laughed and walked ahead. She opened the guest room, and I went inside.

"Just ask Ate Elsa where the washing machine is. I might take a long time in the shower."

"Don't sleep in the bathtub." I reminded her.

She is crazy.

One time, she was just supposed to rest, but she did it in the bathtub and fell asleep. The witch almost drowned.

She just laughed softly and nodded.

She said goodbye, so I closed the door and went straight to the bathroom to shower.

I was really going to scrub myself hard. I truly felt like the odor she released was clinging to me. It was like she hadn't used the bathroom in years.

She is so rich...

Sexy...

And pretty...

But she is so messy and unhygienic.

I really don't know what to do with her.

I entered their bathroom and started showering. I wet my body first and applied soap. I scrubbed the soap thoroughly because I felt like Eiysha's smell was still on my skin. I wasn't satisfied with just one wash, so I soaped my body three times after rinsing.

I let the third layer of soap sit on my skin for a bit. Then, I grabbed the shampoo and washed my hair. I scrubbed my scalp and rinsed it out. Next, I used a lot of conditioner to make my hair smooth and shiny.

It was a good thing they used the same brand I use at home. My body felt completely satisfied after the shower. I felt fresh again, as if I hadn't just gone through a suffocating stink.

I rinsed off one last time before wrapping myself in a towel. I went out and looked for clothes and undergarments in my size.

Once I found them, I changed immediately. I wore a white t-shirt and white pajamas, making me look like an angel that just dropped down from heaven. Just kidding, haha.

I also looked for a hair dryer to dry my hair quickly. When I found it, I started drying it. I rushed through it because I still needed to wash my uniform.

When I finished, I went downstairs carrying my uniform. I asked their house helper where the washing machine was, and she showed me the way.

She insisted on doing it for me, but I refused. I could do it myself, and I wasn't disabled to have someone else do such a simple task for me.

After washing the uniform in the machine, rinsing it, and adding scented detergent, I dried it in the dryer and placed it on a hanger.

I handed my uniform to the helper. She said she would take care of air-drying it under the sun, so I agreed.

I left and went back upstairs to knock on Eiysha's room.

She might have fallen asleep again. She has this habit of lying down to 'rest for a bit', but if you try to talk to her, she won't answer because she has already drifted off. That is how fast she falls asleep. Anywhere and in any position.

"Eiysha?" I knocked on her door, but there was still no answer.

"Are you asleep again? Eiysha!"

I knocked louder, but there was still no response from her.

I stopped knocking and went back downstairs. I talked to the helper to ask for a spare key to Eiysha's room, which she gave me right away.

Once I got it, I went back up and opened her bedroom door.

I saw Eiysha lying face down on the bed. Her eyes were closed, and I could hear soft snoring.

I approached her and was about to wake her up when a mischievous idea popped into my head.

It's time for my revenge....

I almost threw up earlier, so she definitely deserves what I'm about to do.

I went to her study table and grabbed some markers. I picked different colors for different parts of her face. She is a very heavy sleeper, so I was confident she wouldn't wake up while I did this.

After grabbing the markers, I immediately walked over to her. I smiled at the prank I had planned.

'Grab the chance', as they say.

So I am going to grab this opportunity to get back at her. I can't be the only one losing here. If I had inhaled all of her 'explosion' earlier, I would be dead by now.

Whenever I think about what happened earlier, I feel nauseous. It feels like the food in my stomach wants to come out. Good thing it didn't, because that would be a waste. Nothing is free in this world anymore, everything costs money, and it's expensive.

I quietly laughed while doing my artwork. For sure, she'll freak out once she wakes up and sees what I did. She deserves it, though.

"I'm such a good artist for creating this beautiful masterpiece." I said with a smile while putting on the final touches.

"Finally!" I happily said before putting the markers back on the study table.

"See you later." I said with a smirk and walked out of her room.

Change of plans.

Even though I didn't wake her up, my revenge was a success. I'm satisfied with what I did.

I walked down the stairs. I looked for the other helpers. Fortunately, I didn't have to look hard because one suddenly appeared beside me.

"Please wake Eiysha up. I couldn't seem to wake her up myself."

She nodded and said she would go upstairs. When she left, I heard her talk to another helper so they could wake Eiysha up together.

Not long after they went up, I followed them. I wanna know Eiysha's reaction. For sure it's hilarious.

I just waited here outside her room until, after a short while, I heard her high-pitched scream.

"AHHHHH! ALI! HOW COULD YOU!"

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!" Her last words before I heard the door slam loudly from the inside.

I just laughed while shaking my head.

Yes, yes...

I'll pay you with a pinch later.

Mwehe---

"I think she caught Miss E's craziness."

"Maybe she lost her mind from the smell."

"True, it's like that fart had Chemical X in it. It drives people crazy."

I stopped laughing and looked at the two helpers. They didn't seem to notice me staring because they were so busy gossiping.

"Excuse me. Are you speaking ill of me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"AYY, ABNORMAL!" one exclaimed.

"What?!"

"Oh my, Miss! It's you!"

"Who's abnormal?"

"A-ahh Miss... You see--"

"Today's weather is abnormal, Miss! It rains and then the sun shines again. Hehe. We'll be going now."

They quickly ran away, pushing each other as they hurried off.

Tsk. What a headache.

Your boss is the one who is actually abnormal. She stores dirt in her body and turns it into an explosion.

Unbelievable. So disgusting.

I just went back into the guest room where I took a shower.

I need to rest. I badly need it.

My body is still tired, so I'll use this opportunity to rest while Eiysha cleans her face. I only have one hour, because it takes Eiysha a whole hour to finish up. That girl loves to daydream in there, which is why she takes so long.

But it's okay. It actually works out in my favor today.

I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes.

Have sweet dreams, self...
