Chapter 24 - Pt 1
It’s the twenty-first of October, a pretty memorable day for two special people. Two people, I haven’t taked to in weeks. I was honestly surprised when Rae and Michael extended an invite to me via email to their birthday party, I figured they might have wanted to keep their distance as well considering I keep forming the habit of icing them out whenever things get rough.
I tagged along with Lillian and Tamil to the club, two other people I’ve had to issue apologies to, and thankfully they didn’t hold much of a grudge.
“I can’t believe your cousin invited us to her birthday party, I’m so excited!” Tamil screeches over the loud music practically vibrating through the tiled floors, her tiny waist swaying along to the music as she throws her hands in the air.
Exhaling, I look around the room in search of them. “I can’t believe Steven and her parents are letting them have their p

It’s Halloween and in celebration of the holiday, C&K’s most coveted group, Ladies-in-Waiting, had put together a school dance for students in the school’s ballroom. The holiday though ignored by me had put students in a good mood for weeks before its arrival. Mostly because it means they get to have fun during the break, while most students had gone home for the holiday majority of the student population stayed back. The only excitement in their life is the upcoming Halloween dance and, gossiping vigorously about me on Elemental splash. I haven’t stepped out of the cabin since Rae’s birthday, interacting only with Rae, my roommates, and the girls while ignoring everyone else. I at least thought they understood my current need to live under a rock, but much to my annoyance, they dragged me here in disguise in the hopes to cheer me up and have me breathe in some fresh air. &n

It’s Friday and this is my second time watching the jostling game...and my first time actually buzzing with anticipation.Today’s match is between the male fire elemental’s and male water elemental’s. Which means, both Devon and Prince Kota are going to be leading their teams.If the excitement over the girl’s games creates a hyperactive atmosphere, then you can just imagine how the boy’s game is going to be. Especially when Prince Kota is going to be leading his team for the first time since his arrival. Sitting in the large arena with Eva, Tamil, Lillian, Rae, Camille, and Tiffany, I feel a little uncomfortable. The combination constantly has eyes directed our way, particularly because Rae is sitting and socializing freely with defects.I’m practically sitting in the middle of the group and feel like screaming out in frustration when I-pads are sometimes directed our way. Thankfully, the captivation over us doesn’t last because the game soon begins

You know that awkward feeling you get when you face situations, or people that constantly remind you of embarrassing moments you’ve tried and failed to get over… well in my case I feel like I’m drowning in the awkwardness I feel around Devon.It’s a new week and things have finally started to die down with all the irritating whispers that follow me whenever I walk down the hall or step into a crowded room, but today being Monday I’m scheduled for a training session after class. It’s will be our first.Self-defence class was added to our sched

Seated in the auditorium beside Lillian, we wait for debate class to begin. The double doors sprung open and several eyes swivelled in that direction when someone cautiously stepped in, harsh whispers started to float around the room and I raise my head in curiosity. Looking towards the direction people are staring at, I spot Tamil looking like a fearful deer amid predators. She bows her head to hide her teary eyes and quickly hurries to a seat closer to the stage. Frowning, I raised my hand and was about to call out to her, but a light touch made me pause. I frown as Lillian shakes her head in disagreement. “Is she okay?” “It's Damien.” Lillian sighs, her eyes blazing with anger, but concern too. She pinches the bridge of her nose before explaining. “He broke up with her just a few minutes ago. He was cheating on her with some other girl.”

1hour, 20mins has passed and so far, Mr Fiddler has pointed out to 6 different students, each from a different class.A couple of them gave the same arguments Linda and Alexander did, only their wordings were diverse and enthusiasm more prominent. You could tell as more talked, trying to prove their opinions were the rights ones, hostility between both classes and stifling tension was thick in the air.I'm pretty sure they would have arisen to loud arguments and violence if they weren’t

The next day school went about as usual. People gossiped,still, but at least they gossiped less about me. Pretty much all the attention has deviated to Tamil,again.She had a little run-in with Prince Maximilian in the halls this morning, and much to the shock of everyone a very heated make-up out session ended the whispered argument between the two.Tamil refuses to talk about what caused the altercation in the first place, or why Prince Max practically devoured her mouth so possessively, and no matter how much Lillian and I press for answers she makes sure to change the topic and keeps her mouth zipped.Knocking on the door of the teacher's break room, I spot the man I’m looking for immediately and frown. Mr Fiddler is seated on a metal chair across the room, his attention on his tablet and brows pulled into a frown.“Can I help you?” A female teacher startled me by stepping closer, her confused expression turning to recognitio

I block the side attack from Devon a lot faster than I thought I could and kick the back of his knee with my bare leg, he drops to one knee in surprise and I twirl to stand behind him with my wooden sword to his neck. “I win!” I say smugly.Smiling, he raises both hands into the air in defeat. My improvement in a self-defence class is getting better and better though I’m still a lot slower than most of my peers.I called up Devon after school was out and scheduled an impromptu training session despite it not being Monday, I just needed to let go of all the tension I felt today.Ever since the bonfire a month ago, for whatever reason Trinity has made it her mission to piss me off every chance she gets.Usually, I'd dismiss her pettiness, but today she hit a sore spot. She and her groupie friends were seconds away from having their teeth knocked out of their mouths when Tamil and Lillian intervened by dragging me away from a confrontation.“You only won b
