There was a girl with yellow hair that kept looking at me when in uni. She has some kind of charm, but she is a little weird.
After going through the dining area to reach the library, that girl was there.
"Aadya?"
"Yes?" Unexpectedly caught, i replied.
"I think you know my name is Mengyao. It's good that you are here, they asked me to bring some books from one of the libraries but i'm not finding any, can you help?"
"They? Who's they?" Her name was fun to me for a variety of reasons, she was not the only student with such a exotic name but it sounds fancy still.
"My class!"
"Oh…yeah sure" She is so childish for some reason. She also had a thick build, big legs somewhat chubby or rather blocky body, yet she had curves, pointy ears and a blocky yet well defined feminine face, in comparison to me with my thin body and somewhat roundy face.
There was a close bakery, cafe and ice cream shop and she seemed to take note of that.
"Oh they have my favorite mix flavor there! Aw lets grab a bite before the books!" Pointing at the ice cream shop.
"Hey but…" She already went so i entered and followed her. It was a very modest, simple and clean place.
"Which flavour do you enjoy?"
"Vanilla i guess"
"Thats so basic, like don't you grab something sweeter?"
"Whatever, i don't care"
"You seem hurried today often when i see you in school you're more calm you know"
How did she know that? She seems to have some decent senses.
"It's nothing"
"Hm ah man. I'm often so stressed cuz of my family, they keep annoying me despite me being occupied with serious issues at uni, it's so annoying isn't it?" She exhibited a tired expression.
"What is it?" Taking a bite of my ice cream.
"I feel like i cant go to them to solve things, they are putting too much pressure on me, my fucking idiot cousin cant quiet down and be civilized and its me to solve their shit" Now it was as if she was in a mix between agitation and excitment, her face looks smug.
"I feel that" i felt she was friendly so i wish to keep talking about this topic a little bit.
"Hm! Yeah you don't need to bother though is just a few problems"
Dead silence.
"Hm, hey listen, you talking about this just made me remember of something"
"Something good or bad?" Now with her asking me, i felt i should just say it.
"Well just, a person dear to me said they know what difficulties i am going trough, she feels empathy towards it, but that's just she saying that she knows it, it means nothing in the end"
"Do we feel in a similar way?" She was looking down and lowering her voice.
"I guess so"
"If it's a hard toll on you you don't need to talk about it, just chill and speak with them or someone once you quiet down" She seems worried, i thought if the situation she is in is more serious than mine.
To me she seems just like a normal girl, for the first time questioning herself what she wants, it seems it's easy to get lost, her expressions are genuine yet all i can notice is that she is so weak, i felt like i should say some words to her, i normally wouldnt talk about my private life to someone else, but she seems honest.
"My favorite is lemon mousse" Is not a personal favorite of mine, but i can see why she might like this ice cream mix.
"Huh? Weird, that's bitter"
"Sweet!" Might be her voice but she sounds cute when she says it.
"Bittersweet"
I told her it was time to go, go to the library, grab the books with her, and bring them to their room.
As we did exactly that, and watched her leave her room i felt disappointment, wishing i could have talked some more, she seems like a good friend to have even though she is too close at times.
I wonder if she was like me, and also had responsibilities in being part of royalty or what was left from it, later that evening she gave some smiles to me while i was talking in a loud enough voice with my friend, i was making fun of stealing the ice cream dessert extras of a friend without her noticing.
"Youre kinda naughty to do it" She said
Unreasonably close with a face of enjoyment while i was with an embarrassed face.
"Hey who was that by the way?" She was looking cute, trying to surprise me from behind the wall
"Just a friend" I didnt want to give more information than that.
"Right, you laugh a lot with them but looks very cold when with me"
"...do you need help getting books again? Why are you asking this, we didn't even talked till some hours ago?"
"Well maybe i will need help later, anyways, hm what if i kissed you" I thought she was joking so i didnt take this question seriously.
"Whatever, that doesn't matter"
"Oh so do you consent to a few devious acts?"
"With a person i like, yes, i do enjoy some romance and love, still why are you asking this?" I didn't want anyone beyond my personal friends talking about my private life so i cant give much information to her.
"Nothing, just curious, its end of the day, we gotta go now, see you next day" With a little smile, we said goodbye to each other for the day.
I thought it was odd the way she smirked at me, i suppose she knew i was in a relationship and getting that close would be somewhat wrong, as i kept staring at her, yellowy eyes, even yellowy hair, totally the opposite of me, her skin was so clear, while mine more brownish and my hair was curvy yet not as curvy as hers, mine was one of those big hairstyles considered a "mega hair" with a large volume, like a lion dark brown hair.
The next day, all i remembered was walking towards school. I wouldn't be able to talk to my girlfriend until the next day.
It was a warm day, inside the small arcology in the buzzling city, it was calm inside, and quiet, with views of open green areas outside.
I wonder why my girlfriend isn't here at such a beautiful moment. It seems every moment of joy, i always end up experimenting alone, she wouldn't be there for me, so she didn't matter.
Walking in the halls of the arcology at the side of the school building, one section of it was highlighted by the daylight, it glitters with its bright and beautiful surrounding blues, and i see her.
Mengyao was looking at a monument with receipts of the economical history of the purchases of the arcology.
Walking and stopping there, her hair was shining with the sun, as it looked like the rays of light itself, she was gorgeous.
"Miss Mengyao? Are you enjoying it?" She had a pretty collegial uniform, red with a few yellow stripes, and a yellow skirt with black squares as the skirt pattern. She was cute, and gave a young feel to her.
"A legacy of the New Bhonshle" - With a positive smile towards her face, i noticed she had a double ponytail. It was beautiful and nice, she looked naive.
"Yes, just a legacy, however what they created eventually was sold to the New Ying" She told as i stared into her raising voice, her lips were far from dry, it seemed as if she was using some kind of gloss that day, but I couldn't notice other makeup.
"how do you know all that?"
"Miss Aadya…" She didn't like getting interrupted.
"Yes?"
"Well, they didn't just sell it to the New Ying, they belong to the New Ying, the Ying were vile for them, their crest words was-" She stopped while moving her arms and head while talking.
"The Dragon's Gaze, and soon they trained the New Bhonshle into loyalty, or rather i say, submission, they made them love the New Ying, with marriages, spoils, court dramas, then they gave the sweet kiss of death" she turned her head to me.
"Hm?" I was surprised she knew this.
"It seems you liked looking at the crest in my chest" she answered.
"Yes i noticed, how about the symbol?"
"Well, i could talk to you for hours about the New Ying but this talk about obsolescence puts some boring taste in my mouth, may i ask a question?" Her cheeks were pinkish once she looked towards me again.
"Huh? Just say it already-"
She pushed me towards her, paralysing me, touching her hands on my cheek, I felt like i was looked at by some kind of ferocious instinct, staring at me.
"Wouldn't you want to experience something tasty and better?" She pushed my arms to her belt region, and closing her eyes approached her lips.
The sweet feel of soft lips, a bit sticky but cute, she kissed me, it felt ethereal for a moment, the grip of her hands in my belt area was firm and it felt good, but just for a moment, i pushed her and in that moment i noticed something.
Her eyes were like the one of a dragon, stretching, yellowy, rough.
"So how about it? Oh you're not gonna clean it?" I was paralysed by her look, i remembered feeling her hair, it was comfortable while she was holding me, it had a somewhat fluffy feel to it.
"..." I had no reaction this whole time. I felt intense but also dizzy, what was there to clean? Was she asking if i liked? Soon enough I noticed a drip of drool from my lips in her mouth.
"Mhm, It will be our shared memory together" with a small moan she claimed it.
It felt horrible, but she was gorgeous and i found it comforting.
