After finally officially becoming friends, Trisha did not leave Yuki's side. She took the shower stall next to Yuki's, and the two chatted about this and that. After the shower and getting dressed, Trisha walked with Yuki to the first class and even took a seat right next to Yuki. Yuki wondered just how starved for a real friend Trisha was, but seeing how Trisha was happily chatting with her about random things, Yuki could only give a small smile behind her mask. For some reason, Chi popped into her mind as she listened to Trisha talk. The two had almost the same personality. But when Yuki remembered what Chi said to her first thing about how she was going to make a friend in real life. Yuki began to wonder if they were the same person. But she could not bring herself to ask. Plus, to her, it didn't matter anyway. Chi was Chi, and Trisha was Trisha. Even if they were the same person, it didn't matter. But the likely hood of that being true was very slim. So Yuki put this thought to the back of her mind.

"And so the other day..." Trisha was in mid sentence when she heard the door open, and a bunch of her so called followers walked in. The real smile that was plastered on Trisha's lips immediately disappeared as she saw the girls walking over.

Yuki sighed and leaned over, and whispered into Trisha's ear. "Do you want me to take care of them? I can make it so they will stop bothering you."

Trisha felt warmth in her heart. Never had anyone wanted to stick up for her before. She reached over and squeezed Yuki's knee, and slowly shook her head. Yuki nodded and put her head down. Since Trisha told her no, then she would not interfere unless necessary. But what she did not get was why Trisha kept her hand on her knee. She could only guess that maybe it gave Trisha a sense of security. And Yuki's guess was right on. Trisha felt more secure if she touched Yuki, as if Yuki was giving her unknown strength. It was a feeling she did not wish to let go of right away. Only when the girls got close did she remove her hand.

"Princess, why are you sitting here? Are you talking with him?" One of the girls asked as their gaze fell on to Yuki. When they saw Yuki's clothes were all patched up, they frowned. They had never taken a good look at the cute boy's clothes before, but now that they did, they knew right away that he was poor. The girl sneered as she looked at the poor boy. "To think a frog wished to talk to a swan. Princess, you should not talk to people with such an upbringing. Even if you are not well liked, you are still a member of the royal family. I suggest we move back to where we originally sit, or else we may be tainted by this poor boy."

Yuki, who had her head lowered in her arms, peaked out at Trisha, who had her fist clenched. It seemed she was ready to explode. Yuki sighed. She knew this would happen, but she did not think the first to speak would, not only would she slander Yuki, but she would also badmouth Trisha at the same time. Yuki raised her head and placed her hand on Trisha's shoulder to calm her down before looking at the girl with a smile that was not exactly a smile. Her eyes were cold as ice as she gazed at the girl. Her voice was equally as cold as she spoke: "I wonder which bitch you came out of? I mean, for you to spew nonsense all over the place acting all high and mighty just because you come from a good family? I am sure the dog your father impregnated must have really been a pampered bitch to not even want to make time to discipline her own daughter.

"One thing you said here is enough to get your entire family wiped out for nine generations. You say Trisha is not well liked but so what? She is still an Evergreen, and Trisha is Trisha. Whether she is liked or not, she is still my friend, and I will not let others talk badly about her. And as her friend, it is also my duty to make sure bitches like you do not try to take advantage of my friend who has done nothing wrong for you to slander her. If you wish to come at me, come at me. Do not bring her into it."

"You! You dare talk to me like that, do you know who I am!? I am the daughter of Baron Briggs, Claudia Briggs! My family has served the Evergreen family for many generations. How can a poor boy like you even come close to matching up to me!?" The girl named Claudia said proudly.

But unfortunately for her, Yuki only laughed in return instead of acting scared. "So you are basically an upstart bitch who comes from a family who is more of a commoner than actual commoners. Well, whatever… Anyway, say anything again, and I will punch your face in and make it so your bitch mother will not recognize you."

Yuki's words were bitch this bitch that, causing the girl's face to turn red in anger. If it was not for Yuki's actions the day before, she would reach out and slap the poor boy, but she was afraid the poor boy would actually do something to her! She huffed and turned to Trisha with her arms across her chest as she asked: "Princess are you going to let him talk to us like that!? "

Trisha was dying laughing inside after Yuki let into the girl. She was doing her best to keep her normal princessy look as she said with twitching lips: "Did he say anything wrong?" She even said he in order to keep the fact that Yuki was female hidden.

"You!? Fine! If Princess wishes to side with his mongrel, then so be it! Us of the lower families can not go against the unwanted Princess's comma..."

*Bam!*

"I told you if you keep talking, I will hit you. How does it feel? Does it hurt? Are you going to disrespect her again? I guarantee that even your fathers would not fault me for knocking some sense into you. " No one had seen when Yuki moved. All they saw was the girl's face suddenly being hit by a fist right on the nose. Blood poured out of the girl's nose as she fell backwards onto the floor.

"You really hit a girl!? Are you not a man!?" One of the other girls finally spoke up.

"Huh? What the fuck does it matter if I am a man or not? I said I would hit, so I hit? If I make a promise, should I not keep it? Once I fulfill that promise, you start cursing me? Should I hit you too!?" Even Yuki knew she was being unreasonable at this time but she did not care. For girls like this only by acting in such a way will they shut their big mouths. With Yuki's threat, the girls all quickly shook their heads not wanting to say another word. They helped Claudia up and quickly left the room.

"Hah!"

"Hahahahahahahaa! Oh my god! I was dying on the inside. Yuki, you really have a way with words." Trisha was beat red in the face and tears formed in her eyes as she laughed to her heart's content. It took her a few minutes to calm down before she seemed to come to a decision. "From now on this whole fake act is over. As long as I do not go against the orders of the Evergreen family all should be fine." After stating this she turned to Yuki and bowed her head. "Thank you for just now. I feel so refreshed. You spoke everything that I had been bottling up inside for so long."
