Chapter 52_ Curfew Lifted

"But why were you so friendly with that girl?" Mia asked me for the umpteenth time.

Each time, I ignore them and acted as though I hadn't heard her. But I can't feign ignorance anymore. She wanted to rat my ears out with the question.

"Mia, what's your problem? Are you perhaps jealous or do you have a problem with the girl?" I spewed in exasperation.

Mackenzie and senior Eira were silent. Each person was in their bed and I was certain they were not going to get involved in the brewing argument.

The noises from the girls outside were getting into the room and we could hear inaudible chattering from outside. " Hey, watch it!" Mia hollered " What is so promising about you being so nice with a stranger the same way you were with the ghost senior who led us to getting punished"

Just how many more times would Mia bring that up?

"Just leave me alone, I'm too tired to go through another ranting episode with you" I said calmly unlike my usual self and lay in the bed I shared with her.

I could imagine Mia's face right now, she would be too dumbfounded to say anything.

I don't think I have ever reacted to her with maturity that way. I was always talking back and exchanging words with her not because l was immature but because l enjoyed it.

Mia liked to act like she was the best amongst us and I just liked putting her in her place.

It was almost sunset when the voice over announced dinner would soon be served.

We were all pleased, especially me, senior Eira, and Mackenzie. We would finally get to eat proper food and not leftovers. We were Out of leftovers by the way. It was me first, then senior Eira. Mackenzie took too many so she had a cheeseburger left but none to

spare.

"I guess my plan wasn't all that bad, it did not only get us vaccinated, but it also got us a proper dinner." senior Eira said whilebeaming with pride. I didn't know she had this side to her, made me remember teacher Lazlo.

"So are you cool or what?.." I finished for her.

"What?" she frowned at me, unsure of what my words entailed.

"You meant to say." I started now mimicking her voice. "I guess my plan wasn't all that bad, it did not only get us vaccinated, but it also got us a proper dinner. I'm cool or what?" I laughed sheepishly immediately after I finished but the look on senior Eira's face sent me choking on my laughter.

She had her forehead wrinkled up and her lips were slightly parted. Even Mia and Mackenzie were weirdly staring at me too.

What I saw in their faces was disgust, it was as if they were faced with an irritating poop.

"Okay sorry, forget it" I whispered with an embarrassed smile and sat in the bed with Mia. I was trying to joke around but it seemed as though they weren't catching up and didn't find it funny I guess.

Soon after, the much expected knock came, and dinner was delivered. I don't know why the school was so cool and always treated us like nobles. Subtracting the strange happenings and the lurking secrets that were obvious, the school looked out for us students the way a father did his children.

I remembered the medical staff asked for our names and recorded them down previously, I actually thought they only

wanted to mark us as one of those who received the vaccines.

They did not only register our names, I guessed they submitted them to the kitchen too because dinner was cheesecake for me!

My favorite... My cheesecake, oh I love this

school.

"Whoa, this school is super cool. They got our names recorded already "Mackenzie exclaimed. Everyone was acting unlike themselves tonight, Mackenzie mellowed at the school's doing? Wow.

Senior Eira smiled " Of course, All supernatural's college is the best amongst the other schools" she said, already eating her food.

"The best huh?" Mackenzie scoffed.

"Yes it is, we've won the supernatural Competition for five times in a row now. That is why you are able to enjoy the luxury you're enjoying now, I think I've told you all that before " senior Eira replied.

Silence followed her explanation and we all retired to bed after taking a warm night shower when we finished our meals. The day had been a long and drama filled one.

The usual good night ritual was short. I guess we all couldn't wait for the next day It was the end of the curfew and back to the drama of school life. It was also a week and a day to my birthday. I breathed hard and slept with imaginations of what my ability would be like.

What if I got the ability of flying? No, I want something cooler than that. I have followed up on the superman series, what if I had like his ability and was from kryptonite? The dean did mention my father was from another dimension what if it was kryptonite?

Oh my God, I'd be super duper excited if I turned into a super girl. Then l and Superman would be related I guess. I would show it off to Mackenzie then she would know who the boss was.

" Instead of thinking, you were related to him, have you thought of the possibility that you could be his mother?" second annoying jerk said in my head and I almost punched my head in annoyance.

What is it and why was it in my head? Why did it made mocking and irritating the hell out of me it favorite hobby?!

"Arrgh,I have no energy to deal with you tonight. I'm sure you saw what I did with Mia?" I mumbled in response to him while shifting on the bed to the other side, I was facing Mia now.

"Medusa not tonight again, please allow us sleep in peace and quit talking to yourself" Mackenzie admonished.

I sighed breathing on Mia's face and opened my mouth to speak when Mia's palm slapped my hand. " Face the other side and do your nonsense Missy. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with a full

stomach while knowing your breath was the food that filled my stomach" she said

sleepily.

Only Mia could do that, be sarcastic even in

sleep.... That girl!

I drifted off to sleep with second annoying jerk helping me with guesses of what my powers could be. Somehow, I felt he knew more than he was letting out. Why was I even giving it a human qualifier? What if its not human?

At first, I thought it was my subconscious self but I got to know it wasn't it. Second annoying jerk seemed more clever and seemed to reason ambiguous information, something my brain would never do.

Maybe we were all too tired and slept too well knowing the curfew was over. Apart from the curfew being so boring, it seemed like an holiday and a break from All supernatural magical college's internal competitions.

The voice over was what woke us up, even senior Eira was still fast asleep.

"Two hours to curfew uplifting, please brace yourselves to gather at the general hall by 12 prompt. Lateness would not be tolerated, Teacher Zane would be waiting at the entrance to address lateness" it kept on repeating

If at all I wasn't awaken by anything else the voice over was announced, I would never dared to close my eyes once more at the mention of all black.

All black again... that man!

I sprawled up and patted Mia vigorously. Mia could be abducted while sleeping and cut into pieces without even realizing it. She sleeps like a ghost!

Mackenzie and senior Eira were already up and I heard Mackenzie asking senior Eira

"Why him again? Does he not have any other

thing to do? Is he not supposed to be a

teacher, why is he bent on making lives

hard for students?!" Wow, Mackenzie was getting angry.

That was what All black could do to a sane person, he was capable of making them go insane.

"That's his job, he is not a teacher. He is a disciplinarian." Senior Eira answered placing her top on the bed. She was undressing to go to bath already

Avoiding all black huh ? She knew one mistake and we are soup for him.

Now, I understood it all. His job was to discipline students and he was doing it effectively, too effective to be precise. No wonder the Dean regarded him less.

We also undressed and took turns in having our baths. It was sad the kitchen staff did not bring us clothes to change with. I had long got out of my undies, I could not imagine wearing them continuously for four days.

If I got into a fight with anyone right now and they tore my leggings off, the spectators would get an extra entertainment of watching my naked buttocks because except for the leggings l was wearing, my underwear had been long off my butt.

While the others would appear in the general hall with neat clothes, we woul turn up with crumpled dresses. I was sure we were not the only ones who did not get tested and get new dresses so it was cool.
