It's the expectation that does not allow it to happen

I chortled. "I think you had just misunderstood. I'm not talking about me rising to Rank A. I'm saying you're going down to Rank E." Even her boyfriend laughed with my remark.

"Either way, you don't stand a chance." She replied.

"Sure pretty girl. Then I would be fighting you while sitting." They laughed again. "And you, mister." I pointed my index finger towards the handsome guy, "let's meet in our next life without that girlfriend of yours." Then I dragged Blaze outside.

"That guy was so devilishly hot, did you saw him?" I stupidly asked Blaze. We're walking towards our seat earlier. "You know what's his name?" I kept asking him questions but he doesn't answer. We sat side by side, me sitting beside the stairs. "Hey! You won't talk to me?"

"You couldn't have embarrassed me more in front of them?" He snapped at me.

"We were just joking around. Why are you so mad?" I pouted. He rolled his eyes at me. I sighed. "Everything about him is perfect except for his girlfriend." I said to myself.

I'm watching the faeries fight below when Blaze pulled me to my feet. "What now?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He didn't spoke but he made me exchange seats with him. What's his problem? I just continued watching.

"Heeeeyyyy friends!" Sasha shouted, giving emphasis to the word friends while giving Blaze a sharp look. Their moods have changed since I saw them earlier at the clinic, especially Sasha.

"I think Harris is keeping an eye at you Blaze, he sat across from us." Licia told Blaze. Harris? Feels like I heard it couple of times already. I looked at the seat across from us, I saw the guy earlier looking at us.

"What? That handsome guy is the Harris you talked about earlier?" I asked them.

"He's not that handsome Talie, but yes he's the one we talked about." Sasha answered me.

"You think he's not handsome?" I was shocked. I can't even put into words how handsome he really is. "He looks like someone girls would be diving to."

"What? Are you diving?" Siche said with a chuckle.

"Man I could have! But do you know he has a girlfriend?" They laughed at my honesty.

"Everyone knows. He's pretty faithful, I don't think you stand a chance." Siche answered.

"Then I guess I would be crawling." Sasha smacked me on the shoulders while laughing.

"I thought you're not interested on guys." She said.

"I think he's a God. But why doesn't he seems so famous with girls here?" I really wonder why.

"Because he has a girl. And he shuts off every girl who hits on him." Licia said.

"That makes him more attractive." I told them.

"Blaze is more famous than him that's why Harris is often annoyed to our Blaze." Licia said proudly. I looked at Blaze then at Harris. The difference is quite huge, Harris looks so superior to Blaze.

"I don't know about that..." I trailed off.

"Shut up if you don't want your headache to kill you." Blaze whispered to my ear. "How did it go?" He then asked the three.

"You would be delighted." Sasha shouted in joy. And the other two nodded in agreement.

The bell rang, a signal that the fight below is finished. The crowd waited for the councilors to call the next fighters. But instead, Sir Colm, the head of the council, stand in the middle of the grounds. What's the problem? "We have an unpleasant announcement." Then two faerie walked up behind him. The one is the girl I fought with and the other girl I don't have idea who. The crowd was filled with murmurs. "You watched her earlier, Ms. Berlin Dan a second-born went up against Ms. Natalia Flare."

"Why are they mentioning me? Did I get me into trouble?" I asked the guys with me but no one answered.

"She was proven to have violated our rules. Her friend here, named Alor from Rank F, used her special powers on Ms. Sheen Natalia to stun her while the two were in a battle." Sir Colm continued.

"Hey that's why my head hurts like hell!" I shouted. The one who heard me looked at me, I scooted closer to Blaze so I can hide my face.

"As a punishment, Ms. Berlin would be given no grade for this assessment, and both of them will be faced with disciplinary actions. Thus, Ms. Sheen Natalia will be announced as the winner for their battle." Then the three of them left the grounds.

"Wow that was an easy win." I mumbled. "How did they even know that I was stunned?" I looked at them.

"Sasha did her best." Siche told me.

I looked at Sasha. "Hey we agreed not to tell her!" She smacked Siche.

"How'd you done that?" I asked her.

"Just a couple of talks and threats." She said proudly.

"I guess I'm now indebted to you. I would've to put up with you calling me Talie then." I laughed.

"What? That's my prize?" She joked.

"You could call me a Nut if that's what you want." I told her.

"I would be considering that." All of us are laughing right now except for Blaze, bummer.

"Sasha Hart and Licia Styles!" Both their names were called at the same time.

"Why does it have to be you?" Licia face palmed. Sasha just laughed then they go down hand in hand.

In just a short time they returned to their seats. "They could've matched me up against someone who I stand a chance." Licia said. We were all laughing. Sasha was really good at fighting, I thought she was just all looks.

Siche and Blaze won their battles effortlessly. "It would've been exciting if one of us got to fight with Harris." Sasha also voiced out her disappointment.

"It's the expectation that does not allow it to happen." I sighed. I also wanted some action today but nah. We all went home after the battles. I badly wanted to rest also so I head straight to my house even if Sasha and the others are inviting me to come with them.
