Bella England: glancing around nervously Damn, I can't believe we meet here again. Same shitty place, huh?
how have you been bella? I asked concerned
Bella let out a dry laugh, trying to hide her emotional state.
Oh, I've been great, just peachy. Been living the dream, you know? Being treated like dirt and forced to do all kinds of crappy jobs. Just the life I've always wanted. rolls her eyes sarcastically
It's like no time has passed at all. smirks So, what brings you back here, Bella? Still running from your past?
raises an eyebrow, looking at you with a mix of defiance and vulnerability Running from the past? Who isn't? I just... ended up here, okay? It's not like I wanted to come back to this place.
yep I tell her about my life since high school and how successful I've become
Bella listens intently as you talk about your life after high school. She's surprised to hear about your success and success.
WOW, you've come so far. I never would have thought that you'd be so successful. It's almost like a fairytale. But... she hesitates...how did you get so lucky?
what happened to you, bella? why are you dressed like that?
she sighs, looking down at her maid outfit Well, it's a long story. Let's just say I'm not exactly on the best terms with my family right now.
Yeah... how did you end up here?
Bella sighs, her voice tinged with resignation I was sold to a high school bully. I tried to fight back, but I'm not strong enough. It's been a nightmare ever since.
yeah...notices her collar wow...you look different
fidgeting uncomfortably under your gaze Yeah...life has changed a lot since we last met. Not for the better, unfortunately. looks down at her collar This...this collar is more than just a fashion statement. It reminds me of my new "status."
I know what you mean… she looks down
notices her gaze Hey, are you okay? You look kinda down.
leans back in chair and smirks so bella how's life treating ya
she lets out a sigh, her expression becoming slightly frustrated Life as a slave isn't exactly a walk in the park, as you can imagine. It's been a struggle, but I'm managing somehow. How about you, Kansto? Still the same bully from high school?
Yeah... same shit different day I sit down at my desk
watching you sit down, a hint of anxiety in her eyes It's like nothing has changed... We used to sit next to each other back in school, right?
I look at her What happened to you? You use to be so happy and strong. Now you look like a broken doll.
looks down, avoiding eye contact I know. It's hard to believe how much things have changed. Life had other plans, and I ended up here... a broken doll, as you said.
I know right it’s crazy I laugh
nervously chuckles along Yeah... same old, same old. But hey, it's good to see you again. How have you been? she asks, trying to hide her anxiety behind a forced smile
