It was 4 years ago!
"Where's my room?" Ymir asked in a hurry
"Oh.. uh there." Historia pointed at the room in the corner.
Ymir walked towards the room without a word.
"Thanks?" Historia said sarcastically, clearly annoyed by Ymir's ignorance.
Sasha stepped out of the shower with her hair still dripping. "Who was that?"
"Ymir"
"Wha- She's the new roommate?!"
Historia nodded. How could her day be much worse.
---
Ymir hated Historia. She noticed it by the way she looks at her during class. Her eyes full of fire every time she answers the teacher's question. She would always feel a hole drilling in the back of her head whenever she speaks up in class. It made her hate Ymir.
Why is she like this? Why does she hate me? It was 4 years ago! She needs to move on. I swear she's being irrational.
"Does anyone know what element is diamond made up of?" Ms. Hange asked the whole class.
Historia quickly raised her hands. "Carbon Miss."
She glanced at Ymir who's glaring back at her.
A heated recitation battle started in Ms. Hange's class. A battle between Ymir and Historia, survival of the smartest. First one to not raise their hand is the sore loser.
No one won.
Ms. Hange got tired of Historia and Ymir's recitation war and decided to dismiss the class early.
---
"I hate her soooo much!" Historia whined at her friends.
"We know." Her friends chanted in chorus.
"Hey but like, you're the one who did something wrong 4 years ago right? Maybe that's the reason she still hates you." Jean spoke up.
"It's 4 years ago, she needs to move on and get a life. Accidents happen." Historia sighed in annoyance
A notification dinged in Sasha's phone.
"Hey we have a club meeting later."
"Kill me"
---
"Okay since Valentines day is coming, Mr. Smith said it will be our first project as the club members." Ymir spoke in front of the room
"What the hell Sasha, She's the president? I'm fucked." Historia whispered to the girl beside her.
"I know dude, pretty sure she's gonna make you suffer. I bet she's gonna plan some revenge on you." Historia sighed beside her.
Ymir assigned things to the members one by one.
"Secretary?"
Historia's eyes perked up towards Ymir.
"Make sure to list all the things done by our club members and make sure to collect their papers at 5:00 pm sharp."
Historia nods, she can't do anything about it.
---
"Hey it's already 5:00 pm. You should collect the papers by now." Sasha tapped Historia by the shoulder.
"Can't she wait?! I'm still not done with my assignments."
The librarian shushed her because of her loud tone.
Historia opened her phone to chat the group chat and Ymir where she is.
'Hey where are you? I'm gonna pass the papers now."
'English Faculty. 5th Floor. 3rd Building'
'The elevator's broken, use the stairs'
Historia quickly ran to the club room to fetch all the papers of the club members.
The club room's on the 1st building. Meaning, she will need to walk much farther to reach the 3rd building.
Historia knocked on the door, out of breath.
"Hey, Ymir. These are the papers. These are not complete since the others are not yet fini-"
"No, tell them it needs to be submitted now. No late submissions. I have to pass this by 5:45. You still have 15 minutes."
"Oh... okay." Historia ran as fast as she could to reach the deadline.
She once again knocked on the door breathless.
"Here.. are the papers."
"Thanks, Mr. Smith asked you if you could buy him coffee downstairs."
"Can't you do it?!"
Ymir frowned at her.
"Sorry. I'll go buy some coffee.."
Historia is so close to giving up. Her legs are getting sore and will start cramping up soon.
"Iced Americano for customer no. 13."
Historia reached the building and saw students lining up to ride the elevator. She saw a guard and asked him.
"Hey uhm excuse me? Is the elevator operating again?"
"Oh What do you mean? It was never broken in the first place."
Rage filled her face as she knew that this is plotted by that bitch Ymir.
"Is that so? Thank you."
She saw Ymir waiting outside the faculty room.
"Here's the fucking coffee you asked for!" She angrily gave the iced americano to Ymir.
"I know you hate me, and I know you're plotting and starting on some kind of revenge thing on me. And I know you made up the 'elevator is broken, use the stairs' thing." Historia air quoted.
"Come on it was 4 years ago. Can't YOU move on?"
"Move on?" Ymir huffed.
"Even if it was years ago, I still missed on some great opportunity, Historia!"
"You know how hard life was for me back then and I needed that scholarship, but you took it away from me!"
"It was an accident, okay! My family even paid for the damage we caused you. It's not even a huge accident." A tear ran down her eye.
"Please plan a revenge thing some other way, not tiring the shit out of me."
With that, Historia walked out leaving Ymir contemplating what she'd done.
