Manami was shocked to the point where it showed on her face, but she wasn't shocked at what he had said. Instead was shocked that he was brave enough to say anything at all. Brave wasn't the right word to use for what he had done, but it sure did fit in the moment. Simons queen bee comment was the cherry on top of the whole fiasco, so instead of feeling butt-hurt Manami chuckled as she stood straight up to place her hand on her hip while looking at Simon. [color=coral]"Queen bee? Me?"[/color] she continued to chuckle at the fact that others had given her that title. [color=coral]"I'm simply a girl who doesn't feed [i]ugly ducklings[/i] lies."[/color] she said as she looked back to the boy who had insulted her an infinite amount of times. "My peanut-sized brain came to ask you your name," then leaned in to whisper something in his ear [color=coral]"Or do you just want me to call you [i]baka[/i]? I can do either."[/color]

Of course she was a bit hurt that someone was honest, but she was also glad that someone wasn't as quick to lie to her like many of the useless students at this school. She could almost say it was admiration, but she wouldn't let him have the honor of making her feel that way just yet.
