During the competitionThe judges were already calculating the scores and counting the votes."Mia, Mia" Mia heard a voice in her head. She looked around and couldn't find the source of the voice. It was clearly Lakshmi's voice."Mia get me out of this closet please I can't be stuck in here any longer. I might suffocate" the voice kept on paying in her head before it stopped suddenly."Closet? What closet could she be talking about?" Mia was thinking."And it's time for us to call the final results" the judges announced before there was a complete power outage.Mia was getting really uneasy, she had to leave the hall immediately.As she walked down the hallway and around the school premises, she heard someone banging on the door of the janitor's closet. She was frightened."Who is in there?" She knocked on the door."Mia, Mia is that you? Please get me out of here" Lakshmi kept on hitting the door with the palm of her hands from inside."Lakshmi, you are in there?" Mia tried to open t

The unique group, a round of applause for them because they really stood by their name, they were the only ones that managed to tell a story with their dance.Every group performed excellently well but the unique group was the most outstanding and for their outstanding performance they had a total of 50 out of 50 marks. Please come on stage the unique group" the judges instructed as the group who scored the 3rd and 2nd position were already on stage.Bella just couldn't believe that her group came second even after all she did to make sure Lakshmi's group failed.Mia and her friends immediately went on stage to take their trophy, they smiled as a picture of them was taken with their trophy.The groups that came first, se
At Lakshmi's houseLakshmi's POVI am an only child so I don't have anyone to talk to or to play with. Being very spoiled, I got used to getting whatever I wanted in the blink of an eye. I didn't even realize the monster I was slowly turning into and there was no one to put me on the right track.I didn't even know what it felt like to be loved by anyone especially after the event that broke me completely. I retired to bed in preparation for school the next day.I went to school and Mia could notice my change in attitude, I wasn't looking as bright as I normally did."Why the long face?" Mia asked me as we sat at the lunch table, munching our food during recess."It's nothing, I'm okay" I lied."You are lying, you are trying to avoid eye contact with me which is a normal reaction when humans want to lie" Mia clearly stated the obvious."You avoid eye contact with me all the time, does that mean you are always lying to me?" I raised an eyebrow."I have Autism, which makes it difficult
Bella's POVI sat on my bed, crying my eyes out and regretting my actions. I began to wonder what actually made me do the things I did."Ma'am Bella, two girls are here looking for you. They claim to come from your school" the butler came to inform me."Please tell them that I don't want to see them" I sent him away but he didn't seem to take my instructions as I was shocked and also angered to see Mia and Lakshmi in my room."You fool" I screamed and threw my slippers at Lakshmi's face but Mia caught it just in time before it could get to her. I was more than disappointed."I told you not to let anyone in" I picked up the other pair of my slippers and aimed for the butler who ran for his dear life."You have to calm down Bella, if not you may end up hurting someone" Lakshmi tried to advise me."And look who is giving me advice. You are in my own house and causing a mishap. Get out! " I yelled at the top of my voice."That's it! Mia we are done here. Let's go" Lakshmi held Mia's hand
"I'm really sorry, I cannot even imagine what it would be like to see your parents lying dead in front of your very own eyes" I sympathized with her."I didn't see their dead bodies. But our pool was filled with ashes, '' Mia said."Didn't your parents have any siblings, why did they have to send you to an orphanage? That's just unfair" Lakshmi lamented." They didn't send me to an orphanage. I used to stay with my Aunt, my mum's sister but I ran away from her. She abused me alot and I couldn't endure any longer, she made me feel so scared whenever I was around her, she even threatened to kill me when she takes my parents money, I was so scared for my own life so I had to run away but they still want me" Mia was talking very slowly which somehow made meuncomfortable but I just had to patiently listen to her narrating the whole story."Who wants you?" I found myself asking."The people who killed my parents, they attacked me once when I was being transferred from the orphanage I was s
Still at Banshee's house"No, I cannot lose her. She is the gateway to my success. The spell you have been working on to find Mia, how far have you gone with it?" The man raised his head to look at Banshee with his eyes that suddenly had hope."There is nothing I can tell you for now. The spell doesn't want to work, something is blocking my magic" Banshee was speaking before she was rudely interrupted."What could be blocking your magic? You are the most powerful witch I know so what could even dare to stand as an obstacle in your path?" the man was getting anxious and he began to sweat profusely. He had never been so afraid in his entire life."I don't know what is blocking it but whatever it is , it is very powerful, maybe even more powerful than I am. The only thing I know that can make my powers seem so weak and infertile is the caston gem.It is the only thing that can weaken my powers and take it away from me but luckily it is very difficult to get if not impossible. It can only
In the principal office at Mia's schoolLakshmi's POV"I still don't understand what exactly you want me to do Lakshmi?. What do you really want?" My female principal sat on her office chair facing me."I said I want a reconsideration concerning Bella's case. I feel that the school management didn't do justice to it" I kept on insisting."What type of reconsideration are you looking for? We gave her the punishment that fits the offense" the principal picked up her pen and was playing with it while she still focused her attention on me."You see, that's the problem I'm having. I don't want her to have a suspension" I was still firm on my words."Even if we are to give her an expulsion, you don't have the right to tell the school management what to do and what not to do. We know what we are doing" the principal was getting frustrated but I hadn't even started with her yet."I don't want that either. All I want is for you to call off her suspension, she has been absent for a week already
Still at Mia's schoolMajority of the students present in the hallway began to curse Mia, throwing all sorts of accusations at her but Mia didn't even respond in the slightest way. She wasn't moved by any of it as she remained in her kneeling position and kept on observing the boy.She was watching him very closely and then she tangled her fingers together before she pressed on his chest two times.The boy whom everyone thought was dead coughed out, he was still finding it difficult to breath,He slowly opened his eyes ."What's happening?" He said very slowly, he was struggling to talk and it was then that the ambulance the principal called arrived. Mia stood up from the floor and went to return the instruments she took from the laboratory."Mia you were great out there, I have never been so proud of you. You are a heroine" I hugged Mia as I helped her point out the spot she took the acid from."Thank you but he isn't well yet" Mia had a faint smile.
