Detention with Ms. Lourdes
Had Hera been given a choice, she wouldn’t have spent her time in the Filling Realm where she would be ogled at by the students. For goodness sake, she wasn’t some kind of a display in a museum to have their attention like that. Though a part of her already agreed that the fact that she was a scholar of the president himself made her such a glimmering trophy amidst the glory of a gallery, it irked her all the same when their heads turned toward her as she walked in.
The Filling Realm was like a small colosseum, covered so perfectly in white, a splendid travertine stone slabs rounding it. Circle in shape, the tables were arranged in a way that curved in the corners, giving a wide berth on the elevated stage where the likes of Hera could sit. From the glass table and throne-like chairs, they were made to look like the glistening pride cased on the grounds of the building.
As Hera made to sit on the far left side of the table, the scholars already seated there

The Body Thief Unworthy
How Hera, with her head pounding so hard and her whole being shaken, managed to walk back to her dormitory, she’d never known. All that made absolute sense for her was that she put a lot of distance between her and Ms. Lourdes’s office. It seemed that she had done her detention for only an hour, but which seemed to her as though an eternity of screaming. Ms. Lourdes wasn’t even keen on letting her go; however, she had no choice since Hera had already been conscious of the fact that all of those terrible things she’d seen and experience were nothing but a figment of her distorted mind.“I never did like Ms. Lourdes’s Torture chamber,” Kioven had said as though by doing so, he’d console Hera’s disconcerted soul. She could remember grunting as a response and carefully shutting the door before slumping down to her bed, lying horrorstruck at the thought of the said chamber.She couldn’t really say what constituted
The Body Thief Bully
Hera had never all her life experienced a dreadful first week in her whole year of education. This was saying something, as she’s often besieged by the idea that no subject or teacher whatsoever would get into her nerves. Now, however, she seemed to have developed a keen understanding that meeting Ms. Lourdes would, if not always, led her to more detention, which, without a doubt, would twist her sanity. Nonetheless, it was with great relief that she had no scheduled class with her on Friday. It’s the only day of the week she knew would be free from her scorn and snide remarks that if she didn’t improve over the next few days, she’d keep detaining her in that Torture Chamber. Though quite shaken, she really had no idea what she’s supposed to answer when she didn’t even understand half of what she’s saying?Aside from Ms. Lourdes, the other teachers seemed to not mind Hera being quiet all the time, not when many students were raising t
The Body Thief Anomalous
Hera, who was expecting the weekends to be a much more enjoyable affair, now groaned as she dragged her feet toward another office of yet another teacher. It was a fine Saturday, the sky a forget-me-not blue, drifted carelessly by some tiny clouds, which did not reflect the gloom now slithering from insider her, a savage snake rising in response to her glares to the oblivious Amira. She was most enthusiastic about this. She had round them up just after breakfast and decided that they should do their detention now if they wanted to finish it by Friday. Hera agreed despite her desire to spend the time in her room. This was partly because Amira didn’t disclose what Hera had done, and partly because Hera was now hoping to get a whiff of the Standouts League.As the main reason she accepted the invitation in the first place was to unravel the secret of her body, she’s becoming more and more desperate to meet Sheels once again. She knew it was only a matter of time befo
The Body Thief The Standouts League
Hera, after accepting Patrick Hemmingworth’s offer, had been trapped in an already tight-knit, which became a lot firmer as days passed. From Ms. Lourdes who kept giving her detentions any way possible, Kioven nagging her how best to behave and what’s expected of a special scholar like her, to the arrival of the Standouts League that, according to the hysterics students, was more likely a perfectly placed net over them. Not only would their movement be restricted, but they’d also have to keep up with new additional rules this League would announce later on in the meeting. If it’s a question of choosing to attend or not, Hera would have picked the latter without much thought; however, something about the anxious look on Kioven’s face as he cornered her just outside the building of the dormitory earlier bothered her. It was almost as though he’s as shaken as the students, and that’s saying something. After all, he’s a part of the staff, no matter how young he might look.
The Body Thief The Student Pamphlet
The breeze of the evening wind was cold and tensed. There’s only silent, almost mournful, murmur in the Filling Hall, which made the food served on a silver platter trivial, pointless even. So, eating rather hastily, she made to go back to her dorm, deciding to sleep early despite the pile of homework she still had. Hopefully, the arrival of the Standouts League would make the teachers a little bit tolerant. “A word, Hera, if you please.” Hera almost jumped as Kioven’s voice rang in the silence of the doorway. He was leaning, arms crossed, on the doorframe, wearing a smug look, and was staring into nothingness, his eyes out of focus. Looking over her shoulder, she saw no disturbance from the others who were too busy talking with each other, barely eating. Sighing, she looked back at Kioven. Now that she knew who and what position he’s in, it seemed as though Hera’s seeing him in a new light. It was, after all, not an easy feat to be a Minister in his age. She
The Body Thief Anomalism
Hera woke with a start on Tuesday, a tight knot on the pits of her stomach making her body a little heavy. She sat straight, wiping the wet off her cheeks, and stared at the open window. A feeble light was starting to creep upward, crowning the still, dark horizon a tinge of brightness. Hera sighed. Another day was rising, yet she didn’t feel elated. She dreaded the time when the sky would turn blue and the sun was already way up above, for then she would have no excuse but to face the school. It’s not hard to guess by now that it would be just as miserable as her former week, or even worst, considering the terrible presence of the League.For a moment there she didn’t know why she’s sinking in misery, but the sight of a pamphlet lying helplessly on the tiled ground brought the memory back. She felt a little queasy. Shaking it off, she went to the comfort room and lay on the tub. It’s starting to become a hobby of hers. Waking up, resting on the
The Body Thief Sign
As August approached, the rain lashed on the grounds of Psyche Sect. Fortunately, they have working sewage that prevented flood to bank on any part of the school. The only problem was how distractive the pound of rain could get. It was almost as though it was drumming on the roof, as though showers of pebbles were actually falling from the sky.Hera was stuck on her afternoon classes. They’re barely spent half an hour from their first session, yet it looked like the horizon had yielded in the storm. The sky outside was covered with dark clouds that it seemed the night had decided to come early.The chairs in the theater-like room were shoved in the corner, giving a wide berth for the students to face each other. Students were paired and were seated facing each other on the flight of steps, Mr. Castro sweeping the room to assist their attempts. Hera had so far regarded this activity dull and less intriguing than the rage of the storm outside. Even her classmates w
The Body Thief Sheels Hemmingworth
Inside the elevator, alone and a little bit soaked, Hera stood. She was shaking a little, her palms on her chest. There was a mingled look of surprise and irritation drawing her face as she stared at her barely visible reflection. In the silence, the drumming of her heart was almost audible, a rapid tick that agitated her soul. As she shifted from where she’s standing, the elevator door opened. The three students stopped talking once they realized who’s inside. They looked at each other for a moment until the door started closing. Slipping in, Hera moved to the corner, fixing her hair so that it obscured her features. Hera tapped her feet, trying to steady her breathing. Once in a while, the girls were glancing in her direction and those short moments of attention knotted her stomach and clenched her heart. It was almost a relief when she reached the seventh floor. Without looking at them, she swept past, but her expression turned blank at the party awaiting her. The
