Chapter 57_ Toveenar

We all conversed happily throughout our meal until Bale and the boys excused themselves to leave. We were all done eating too except for Wyllow.

"Please Hurry" Mia said impatiently to her and all she did was to nod again.

Pandora who asked for Wyllow not to be invited to the table seemed to be the one who conversed with her the most.

Shortly, Wyllow finished eating and we all stood to go back to the hostel.

"Where have you been all along? I mean during the curfew?" I asked Wyllow.

She was continuously holding the fabric of her gown and had her neck slightly bent. Her full silver hair that fell on her face and covered most of it corvinced me that it was Wyllow who had purposely done it. Brushing the hair and styling it to cover her face to escape from the rest of the world. "In my room" she answered my question.

Pandora exclaimed with amusement almost immediately. "Whoa your room? You are one lucky goose" she started "I was stuck with two seniors whom..," she went on to explain her ordeal during the curfew to Wyllouw.

I felt like l would hear this more than a hundred times from Pandora. She was ready to lament to whoever cared to listen.

Explaining on and on the same topic, does it not bore her?

Well, it bores me.

In a matter of minutes, we were back in the hostel. it's familiarity and warmth brought a smile to my face. It felt like I was back home, it was entertaining how much familiar I have gotten to the hostel which felt like home now.

"For some reason, this alien building which I haven't spent more than a few weeks in sent happiness to my belly upon seeing it again" Mia said out loud while smiling dreamily and looking on at the hostel with affection.

She spoke my mind exactly

Trust Pandora to chirp in any matter even if it required response or notMaybe that's what being back where you're more free when you've been stuck with bitchy Seniors for days feels like"she added and we all stepped into the crowded hostel.

I saw the triple D rangers in their favorite spot outside our hostel and I was glad nothing had happened to them.

The fat bully girl who was served justice by the wind 18 girl was also sitting at a corner snacking on a cookie bar. Poor her, her crooked and spiteful personality gained her no friends.

Lots of the others were present too but most of them were probably inside. From what I saw, a lot of us escaped the virus.

First, we got to Pandora's and Wyllow's door, ours was the one after and farther to the entrance as teacher Hadleigh had started the grouping from the first door down to the last one close to the entrance.

"See you around guys" Pandora smiled at us.

Mia's inteligent question made me wonder too

"Why is she your roommate when you're Pandora and she is Wyllow? Were we not grouped alphabetically?"

That was correct, why?

Pandora sighed before giving her explanatio "We had another roommate but teacher Hadleigh knocked on our door asking the girl to go occupy the first room by the entrance which was meant for Y and W while Wyllow took the girls place here" she finished.

"But why would she switch the girls?"

Following a shrug, Pandora opened the door and directed the question at Wyllow "Ask Wyllow, only she knows why she threw a fit to have her room her" she entered the room while Wyllow

stayed back.

Why would Wyllow want this room? it was not like Wyllow to throw a fit.

I dimmed my eyes and tried to look Wyllow in the eyes "Wyllow, why throw a fit to be in this room?" I was looking for any clue that might lead to the relation of Wyllow with second annoying jerk. He had been silent again.

Wyllow's answer to my question almost made me give up on her. "Because I have seen that I was in this room with those girls " she simply said.

Mia groaned and walked away "Okay, Medusa, I'm leaving now.

Good luck with your prophesier friend" Prophesier, I've heard that before.

Senior Eira did say after a prophesier follows a sorcerer.

"Wyllow, are you the prophesier or you just simply have the powers of premonition?" I asked with seriousness in my tone.

I could not believe I was being serious but I really wanted to unravel the mystery behind second annoying jerk.

She brought her gaze and locked it on mine and my fondness for her increased. The clash of eyeballs made me feel more Connected to her.

I guess this was me taking too much fondness in a person.

Mama did say when l was young, whenever she bought me toys that I liked, I never wanted to let them go not for a minute.

But Wyllow wasn't a toy.

"I do not understand your words my Medusa, try to speak more specifically next time. Bye" before I could say any words next, she had slamed the door on my face.

Seriously?

Was Wyllow feeling like a celebrity now? But then, the murkiness of it all made me want to unravel the puzzle more.

For once,I would plead with my brain to allow me process ambiguous information. Even it was itching with curiosity.

I left Wyllow's doorstep and retreated to my room. Not just mine, the one I share with Mia and Mackenzie.

Okay, that was unnecessary. Everyone knows that already.

I met Mackenzie on her bed, bathed and in a casual wear. She was deep into meditating while striking a yoga pose in the bed

I gave Mia a knowing look and mouthed "Is she okay now?"

Mia only shrugged. I knew it was the overwhelming stress that made Mackenzie freak out that way

The poor girl, she was having to deal with having powers alongside the dramas of the school.

I sat in the bed and started to undress in order to bath and get into neat and comfortable wears. I had been in these leggings and sweatshirt for way too long that I can not help but feel like I stink even though I bath everyday. I went into the shower and opened the warm running water in my head. This was our room, I was going to do as I liked.

When I was done with the shower, I went to the tub and soaked myself in it, pondering over thoughts while my brain was sending signals of blowing up soon if I didn't stop.

"Sorry buddy, I have to think" I whispered out,

The soothing of the water made my head relax more and then slowly, the thoughts poured in.

Since silver haired girl was the Wyllow second annoying jerk had been ranting about, what was his reason for engraving her in my head.

A sorcerer coming to school? Wyllow should be the prophesier. Senior Eira said prophesiers were protege of sorcerers or sorceresses. In short, the prophesier was made to direct the sorcerer or sorceress throughout their existence.

So, a prophesier's sole quest is to serve a sorcerer?

Why does it all feel like a fairytale to me?

Was the school not a fairytale too?

"No dummy, fairy tales have happy endings. Happy endings is not guaranteed in magical schools" second annoying jerk Pointed out.

He's back again! Always coming back in the darkest hours.

"So you mean we all are doomed for unhappy endings?" I asked him calmly, I was used to his interactions now.

" I only pointed out that happy endings are not guaranteed here, I never said unhappy endings are" Screw me for thinking he would be helpful. He would only confuse me the more, that was his specialty.

"Whatever, what's your name?" I asked him a question that had stood in my throat for too long waiting to come out. He was always annoying me so l had always been sending him off

with irritation and every time, I always for got to ask for his name.

I heard his chuckle "I was thinking it's about time you stopped calling me second annoying jerk. I am Toveenar, master of the third level wizardry in Orophus. But you can call me Tov, I figured Toveenar might sound old fashioned in your ears" he introduced.

"Master of what?"

"Third level wizardry in Orophus" he repeated.

I sprang up from the tub "You must be joking!" I almost shouted. There is nothing like that, is there?

"There is and there is more than that. You found there was more than your dimension when you came to this dimension. You would be surprised there was more than this dimension too" he supplied.

| could not wrap my head around the fact that I had a master of wizardry in my head.

Is wizardry real? I wondered.

"Wizardry is as real as you and me" he answered me. I figured he had access to my thoughts. He had been constantly reacting to thoughts in my head.

"So what are you doing in my head?" I asked second annoying jerk who is now Tov.

His secrecy retuned "Hiding" he simply said.

" I want more explanation than that" I got serious.

Before he coud give me a reply, "Medusa get the hell out of the bath and stop singing or murmuring or whatever the hell you're doing!" Mia shouted from outside .

Jeez, to hell with Mia.

I knew second annoying jerk would have run away till further notice. When he leaves, only the heawens knew when he would return.

But I had to try, we were having serious discussions. He couldn't have just left like that, could he?

"Tov...?" I called but got no replies.

I knew he would run.

Now more confused than ever, I got out of the bath and wrapper my towel around my body. I opened the door and went back into the room.

Mackenzie was still in her meditating position and I wondered if I should throw a pilow at her like I did the last time but I calculated this time around, she was not ina good mood. Girl might pounce on me so I let her be.

I opened my wardrobe, feeding my eyes on the collection of my clothes. I had already dumped the worn out Clothes in the bin. I could not imagine wearing them again even if they were

washed. I took some body lotion and gently applied its soothing liquid on my skin. I haven't done that in four days approximately now.

I thought of a casual cloth to wear until I later decided to go with a skirt for a change and a casual round-neck top.

Mia was the one who loved skirts the most, not me, not even Mackenzie but I could do with it once in a while.

I slipped into the clothes and packed my hair in a ponytail after a very much satisfied brushing.

"Now girls, let us gist like we usually do. I miss the simple days where we would just come back home from classes and chat through the night till we finally fell asleep" I said dreamily to the girls but the universe said no.

A knock on our door made me remove the hand that I had placed my hand on and sat up.

"I'll get itl

" I said to Mia who was already standing up to go

get the door. Might be Wyllow, I thought.

I walked to the door and opened it to find senior Amanda of the fourth year, hands on her waist and staring at me with a superiority aura circling her. She was the senior who came with senior Oliver to take us on orientation some time ago..

She looked down at a paper in her hand "Medusa, Mia, and Mackenzie. Am I in the right place?" she asked.

I nodded obediently "Yes you are" I said.

Mia was behind me now after hearing our names being called Out

"Good, now follow me" senior Amanda ordered.

Follow her?

What have we done again?
