"…that damn pervert!!" Ellen exclaimed as she angrily pounded the ground with a club. 

Anne who was nearby chuckled and watched in amusement as her best friend vent her anger on the ground. Luna on the other hand just calmly sipped her tea, as if witnessing her behave like this was normal. 

"How dare you!"

*Smack!*

"Lecherous!"

*Smack!*

"Pervert!"

*Smack!*

"I hate you!!!"

*Smack!* *Crack!*

"Oh dear…" Anne whispered, slightly chuckling at the sight. "The poor ground. What did it ever do to bear such fate."

"Gah! I'm still angry!" Ellen chucked the broken club somewhere, not caring where it landed and pulled out another one from her spatial ring to continue pounding the ground. 

"Wow. She has another one." Luna said preventing herself from laughing. 

"I know right." Anne replied, "She came prepared."

Ellen mercilessly vented her anger on the ground until the new club she took out, broke once again. Only then did she stopped and marched towards where the two were and sat down. She was sweating and her chest were heaving up and down. She took out a jug of water and emptied its contents in one swig. 

"Done venting?" Luna asked as she placed her teacup on the table. Anne stood up and sat with them while handing out towel for Ellen. 

Ellen snatched the towel and dried her face with it. She was silent but still frowning, she wasn't even talking to them. This caused Anne to shimmy towards Luna and whisper:

"She's on transition. Do you have something to calm her down?"

"Of course, I also came prepared." Luna whispered back, she then stood up and walked towards Ellen. 

She took out a triple layered cake on a platter plus some utensils on her spatial ring and placed it in front of Ellen. She didn't even bother saying anything and just sat down to where she was seated earlier. 

Ellen stared at the cake while gulping. She then looked at her friends and saw them not paying attention. She puffed her cheeks and picked up the fork. She took a bite out of the cake and her eyes sparkled. 

She then took another bite…

And another one…

She kept on doing this until she no longer have any care about this world aside from finishing the whole thing. 

Luna looked at Anne and winked, the latter gave her an okay sign using her fingers as they stayed silent until Ellen finishes the cake. 

Not even five minutes later, the plate was empty and Ellen was feeling better. She was holding cheeks as she let out a dreamy sigh, saying:

"Ah, chocolate cakes." Ellen murmured with her eyes sparkling, "Never change. Never change."

Anne whispered to Luna once more: "Alright, she's out of the Angry mood and is now on the Elated mood. We're safe now."

Luna nodded and chuckled. She suddenly remembered something.

'Ellen is a simple person. She has 3 Positive Moods which are: Satisfied, Happy and Elated. And 3 Negative Moods which are: Annoyed, Irritated and Angry. When she's Elated, she's the cutest human being ever but when she's Angry, even Devils will shiver. If you want to get her out of her Angry mode, wait for her to be exhausted and then give her a Chocolate Cake, it's best if its the triple layered one. That will cause her mood to flip like a switch.'

And this wise man is none other than Paul himself. 

Luna shook her head inwardly and thought: 'No one here knows her better aside from Paul. Ai, if only he stops fooling around. That'd be great.'

"Feeling better now?" Anne asked, causing Ellen to nod vigorously like a little kid. 

'Yeah, this is the same girl who's pounding the ground with a massive club just a few moments ago.' Anne said to herself, 'Paul's a genius.'

"I say, don't mind it too much Sis." Anne said, "You know him and his antics."

This caused Ellen to puff her cheeks once again, but this doesn't mean that she's angry again. 

"I don't know." Ellen said, feeling a little lost. "I just don't understand it anymore."

"And? What exactly it is that you don't understand?" Luna inquired. She fully knows what her friend is talking about but it would be better if it came from her directly.

"That..." Ellen hesitated, she sighed and placed a hand on her chin. "He keeps on saying this...and then that…the he will do this, and then will do that…honestly it's so confusing!"

'You're confusing.' Luna and Anne thought the same thing. 

Luna shook her head and said: "Jealousy at its finest. Don't worry, I get it."

"I'm not jealous." Ellen said meekly, she couldn't even bring her self to look at them as she said this. 

"Yeah you are. In denial too." Anne added. 

"Why would I be jealous?" Ellen scoffed. "What is she compare to me?"

"She just taller than me." Ellen said as described Vina. 

"Has a curvier body." 

She looked down.

"A prettier lips." 

She frowned.

"Smells nicer." 

She gripped the hem of her clothes and looked down.

"More seductive."

She bit her lips.

"B-bustier…" 

Tears formed on the corner of her eyes. 

"A-and bolder to ask him out like that…"

Ellen looked up and saw both of them looking at her sympathetically while wiping fake tears from their eyes. 

"Mmhmm, I get it." Luna said emotionally, "I really do."

"Huhu, you poor girl. You are so unlucky and so inferior. I feel you." Anne relentlessly said.

A massive club appeared on Ellen's hands as she said: "Die, you traitors!"

"Oh dear, she has another one." Anne said while laughing. 

"Calm down, girl." Said Luna while laughing, "We can talk about this."

"Hmph!" Ellen snorted as she chucked the club off to somewhere yet again, not really caring if she hit something or someone. 

Anne and Luna laughed a bit more before finally calming down. It was then that Anne suddenly became serious and told her. 

"Listen here, Sis." Anne said while looking intently at Ellen, "Don't you think that none of this would've happened if you didn't deny what you truly feel?" 

"…" Ellen had no words for that. 

"Paul told you the whole truth about what happened when you were kidnapped back then." Anne continued. "It was him who saved you from imprisonment, not Raven. You all just thought that it was him since Paul and Raven looked so much alike when they were kids. And he also told you why he kept that a secret right?"

"…"

"It's because you told him that you hated him so much." Anne's words stabbed Ellen's heart. "He also told you that he didn't mind and he would officially chase after you but what did you do?"

"…"

"You told him that he's dumb and you ran away." Ellen's heart was bleeding, she wanted to stop Anne from talking but she can't since she's just stating facts. 

"So?" Anne crossed her arms and continued: "Truthfully speaking, you have no right to get mad at him. In a sense, you already rejected him. So why would you care if he flirts with other girls?"

Ellen's breath hitched. That…hearing that, specially from her, hurts more than she expected. She wanted to say something back but she couldn't. All she could do is to lower her head and accept this pain. 

Anne was right. It was her who's at fault here. She had no right and no reason to be mad. It was her who pushed him away and ran. No matter what reasons she may have for doing that, that doesn't justify the way she treats him whenever she's jealous. 

"I just can't be honest…" Ellen said, not particularly towards anyone, more so to herself. Anne and Luna were silent.

"I didn't want to do that." Ellen was referring to her act of pushing him away. "I just didn't know how to react. I like him, you guys know that by now."

"I'm just scared." Her vision blurred, she wasn't even aware that she's already crying this much. "I can't help it. What if I can't keep him? I'm not like those girls he fantasizes about, what if he finds another one and leave me behind?" 

"I just..." Ellen gripped the hem of her clothes tighter, "I just don't know what will happen to me if that day even happen. So…I thought that it would be best to keep him at arm's length. Maybe that way, it'll be better."

"That's stupid."

Ellen froze. She involuntarily looked up and saw Anne and Luna smiling at her. She bit her lips since she realized that those words didn't come from them. 

She didn't even turn around to see who said that since she already knew who it was. Her instincts told her to run, and that she did. But before she could even run far away, she heard him speak once again. 

"Running away again? Fine! Do that! I swear to god that if you disappear from my sight, then you will never, ever see me again."

That proved effective as Ellen immediately stopped from her tracks. She couldn't look back and she was trembling, it didn't take long before a rough and strong hands gripped her hands, dragging her somewhere. 

Luna and Anne watched Paul and Ellen disappear. They looked at each other and giggled. The high-fived and went back to enjoy their break time.
