Lady Misfortune: Daddy, I'll Be A Righteous Villainess!

Sarah feels the need to be on guard after sensing that Glenn is acting odd. 

For some reason, this reminds her of their meeting a year ago – days before the Acquaintance Party, weeks after she entered the academy. Just like now, he's the first one to approach her. 

Sarah didn't know who he was back then, and the moment he acted as if she did, she began seeing him as this handsome husk with a huge head. Glenn did have the charms and the appeal, but there's just something off about him that she couldn't quite place.

It was a peculiar encounter.

---

"You're that Sarah, aren't you?" was what he had asked her at the time – his very first words to her.

"And what if I am?" was what she simply replied to him, quietly stunned by how attractive he was – her very first impression of him.

Sarah was a little bit entranced by Glenn at first.

She admits that she is the type who easily falls for someone's looks. However, she still favors attitude over appearance. She was curious of who he was yet wary of his intention at the same time. It was not too long before she caught a glimpse of it, though.

"If you don't want anything, then let me get by. I have somewhere I need to be, and you're just wasting my time," she had snapped at him once she realized he was checking her out from head to toe. 

The look on Glenn's face was not hard to read. 'I was wasting her time?' was basically how Sarah interpreted it. 

It's like he couldn't believe what he's hearing. He started to get slightly frustrated. 

"Do you even know who I am…?" Glenn had questioned as he began sauntering towards Sarah until she ended up getting backed against the wall.

"You seem afraid of me. I wonder why."

She tried her best to look straight into his eye, holding his intent gaze with her serious one. He's definitely crossing the line. She knew a flirt when she saw one, and he was obviously hitting on her. 

"Maybe we can hang out together and know ourselves a little better? If you know what I mean."

Sarah had not said anything. Her eyes were glued on a nearby desk that entire time, her hands quivering. Glenn had smirked a devilish smirk. His finger then came up to her chin, lifting her head up so she was looking at him. 

"What do you say, Sarah? Should we get to know each other more?"

Then, all of a sudden, he started to lean his face towards hers. She had felt his breath hitting against her skin – had felt the warmth radiating from his lean body. He was going to kiss her, and she was thoroughly paralyzed. 

Yet, just when his lips were about to press down against hers, he felt a cold, hard slap across his face.

"Get off, you freak!" 

Glenn had quickly let go and stepped back in flummox. He then looked at Sarah who had just dared hit him.

She stood there and glared at him. He seethed.

"I don't want you near me, do you hear?! You disgust me!" Sarah had bellowed in anger before running out of there, leaving Glenn extremely perplexed.

Since that day, he developed an interest in her, much to her dismay.

He did apologize for treating her the way he did, but she had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him. Regardless, he had relentlessly continued to try to earn her forgiveness, and she had no choice but to bear with him. He did not attempt to do anything stupid, at the very least –

For some time, Glenn did not, yet Sarah had been too at ease.

---

Now, that unsettling feeling has come back in full force.

There's a lot of thoughts running in Sarah's head at the moment. Whatever it was that Glenn went there for – it was probably bad. Lady must've also noticed it by now.

"Hey, I'm asking something. What are you doing here?" she repeated her question after bathing in the foreboding quietude for too long.

"I should be the one asking that. Sarah, why are you with her?" he muttered in a raspy, vehement voice, which alarmed them enough to stand up. 

"So what if I'm with her? Got a problem with that?"

"Oh, a lot. Do you even know what's going on down there right now? It's like hell." 

Glenn may look calm, but Sarah can tell that it won't last.

He's on the brink of losing it. His tone alone is a dead giveaway.

"You have to come with me – clean this mess with me…" he then suddenly demanded as he paced closer and closer, making them walk back up the stairs. 

"Tell them we're only helping you out. Tell them who's really in the wrong."

"Are you dumb or what…?" she spat at him, already getting aggravated.

"You're the ones who kept meddling even though I told you that it's none of your business. I'm not some damsel in distress who needs help all the time. Just leave me alone."

"Does that mean you're going to side with that bitch too?!" 

And alas, the outburst.

They both jolt in surprise as Glenn hollers with shuddering intensity. His booming voice roars all around the rooftop staircase, disquieting Sarah in particular. Lady notices how she trembles from the shock that rolls over her.

Despite feeling perturbed herself, she steps right up and stands before her.

"I'm not really sure what you're shooting your mouth for, but you don't have the right to order her around like that…" Lady began in all seriousness.

"Don't think you can always have a say in everything she does just because you believe you're doing her a favor. Who do you think you are? You're nothing but an obsessive, creepy stalker who keeps tailing her around." 

Glenn stiffens at that while Sarah gasps out loud. It takes several more seconds before it sinks in. Lady then goes rigid upon realizing that she just disclosed what Fallon revealed to her earlier. It came out of nowhere.

She got so caught up in the heat of the moment that she made a slip of a tongue – and now, there's no taking it back. 

"You…" Glenn hissed through gritted teeth, expression furious.

"Just what did your bastard of a cousin tell you?"

"Call him that again, I dare you…" Lady growled tauntingly.

"What does it matter, anyway?! You're not even denying it!

"Such a shame you've got a pretty face. It's nothing with your empty brain. You think you can use that against me? Ha! Dream on, loser! You can't threaten me with something you can never prove-"

"Wait, you don't know? He's got pictures of it."

"WHAT?!!!"

He flares up then, and this time, he looks mad for good.

It's probably not a bright idea to say too much about that topic, especially now that he's glaring daggers at her as though he really wants to stab her to death. She admits she's terrified, but she tries not to show it. It'll only inflate his head even more, and at that moment, it's better to plan for a way out instead. 

"Hey, lock yourself up on the rooftop for now," she whispered to Sarah.

"What? No way! I'm not gonna leave you here," she whispered back to Lady.

"Don't worry. Hearty will be back soon."

"Just what are you planning to do?!"

"I'll distract him for the time being."

"You can't possibly confront him on your own."

"Stop being stubborn. Just go."

"You always act like you can handle it! Look what happened last time!" 

Unbeknownst to Lady and Sarah, Glenn has already reached the edge.

Before any of them realizes it, he charges forward, rushing up the stairs at lightning speed. The target is obvious. He can't find it in himself to hurt his object of adoration, so he goes for the object of his fury.

"You whore! What did you do to her?!" he yelled fumingly as he roughly grabbed Lady's hair.

"Hey, let go, asshole!" she screeched in aghast shock while she tried to shove Glenn away but to no avail.

"This is all because of you! You started everything! This is all your fault!" 

"What bullshit are you on about?!"

"You should've remained evil! I would've been the good one, then! Why the fucking hell would you suddenly act nice to her, anyway?! Are you crazy or what?! This is all so unfair! You're supposed to be the one being punished!" 

Things are getting out of hand at an insanely rapid pace. They should have never entertained a question from this brute of a madman in the first place.

Sarah was quick to act, however. She won't let Lady get hurt for her again.

So, she did what she had to. She forced her way in between them, pouring all her strength to push him off of her. Somehow, she was able to help her break free.

But that came with a cost.

"SARAH!!!"

Glenn tugged hard for the last time, but instead of Lady, it was Sarah who took the fall and toppled over the staircase railing.
