HEART TO HEART

(Ameerah's POV)

"What... happened in there?.....Are they expelling me?...They didn't threatened you or something did they? Gabe asked me in a low voice.

We took my Id and stuff back from the gate and are in a cab going home. Gabe was quite all this time and is now speaking to me.

" They didn't threatened me and I'd like to see them try and expell you." I stated.

" You didn't do anything uh stupid right?"He asks.

I just raise my brow at that.

" look Ameerah they are very influential people I am just asking you didn't make them angry or anything?" He asks concerned.

" Look I just ask them to apologize and they will." I tell him.

" They said they'll apologize..... I don't believe you?" He inquired in a surprised tone.

" I mean how did you convince them for that? he added.

" Well I kind of told them that if they expelled or punished you I'll tell everyone the truth of how the King's son was bullying you and that they are punishing you for something that isn't your fault. Simple" I explained and shrugged my shoulder.

" You did WHAT!!! You blackmailed them Meera you don't know these people they will kill us.... we are so dead..." He blurted hysterically.

" Calm down and I do know these people, look you are a progeny, your headmistress loves, and she actually is a good person or else she could've hidden it all from us but she was fair and told me everything, NOW your friend will never tell his father about this incident because he can't afford to admit that he got beat up by someone younger and weaker than him and these people love their political images they cannot afford to have these talks about them bullying low folks and hitting a councilman's daughter, you see, so yes they will apologize." I explained.

" Meer I just hope you know what you are doing." He said shaking his head.

I smack him on the shoulder.

" What the fu.... what was that for!!!" He squeals correcting himself, like I don't know he swears.

" You fucking didn't tell me you were getting bullied at the school, and you weren't letting me go in today either, hell you were okay with getting yourself expelled." I scolded him.

His expression changes from an annoyed to a concerned one.

" I am sorry I just Meer you already had a lot on your plate I couldn't add this to your list of worries." he says

" You should've told me. I am suppose to take care of you, your problems are my problems. Promise me from now on you won't hide anything from me ." I ask him

" I won't I promise." he assures me.

" And also I am sorry?" I mutter to him.

" Why are you sorry?" he asks.

" I get it, why you don't tell me these thing and why you bare with them, you are doing this for us. You do what you can and I am thankful but I don't want you to get bullied and not tell me.This school is not that important if it makes your life hard. you understand." I tell him.

Gabe just hugs me in the cab, I am not much of a hugger but I still hug him back for a few seconds.

" That's enough affection for a day." I state and he just laugh at me.

" So do you wanna leave this Academy, because if you want to I am totally okay with that no pressure." I ask him.

" No I think I'll stay, I want to learn and there isn't a better place than here." he says.

" That's a good decision and if there is any problem you tell me get it. One last thing don't mention anything to mom she'll get worried and all." I say.

" don't worry I understand." He tells me.

We reach our house and as soon as I enter I am surprised to see Aaron sitting with my mom sipping coffee in his university clothes and bag which means he came straight from there.

I get worried I just hope that he didn't mention anything to my mom about the glowing eyes incident or anything about Gabe.

"Aaron what are you doing here?" I ask awkwardly.

" you left in a hurry and forgot your headphones I knew you had to work on an important piece so I brought it for you." He explains.

" Oh how silly of me. Thankyou so much for this. so are you leaving now?" I ask him.

" Meera where are your manners. Are you asking him to leave? Sit down Aaron you aren't going anywhere until you've had lunch with us". My mom scolds me.

" Thankyou Olivia for the kind offer but I really have to leave now I am late for a pack meeting with my ...uh pack you know." Aaron says.

" Yes mom his pack meetings are super important so he is leaving I'll see him out okay." I tell her.

Once we are outside I walk him to his car, it's a beautiful and new model which shows Aaron is rich which I hate to admit but makes me a little embarrassed that he came all the way to this neighborhood in it. The kids are circling his car like they have never seen it before and they probably haven't.

" Meera I uh didn't just come to give back your headphones, you left in such a hurry I was worried and your phone wasn't answering so I got here to check on you. Are you alright? Gabe asks.

Well now I feel like a shit person for practically kicking him out of my house.

" Yeah I am fine, it's nothing I can't handle. They took my phone at the gate. And those Headphones are toast anyways" I tell.

" Oh okay, yeah they were toast so I uh.. bought you new ones they are same one.... just new I mean."He tells me .

"Why..... I can't accept them Aaron you have to let me pay you back." I tell him annoyingly because I've explicitly told him to never buy me anything.

" You see that's why I thought I shouldn't tell you that I bought new ones but I also know you'll recognize them no matter how identical they are but you need them and yes you can pay me later so plz let this go." He pleads.

" okay fine" I say.

"what are you going to do about the thing with Eres?" He asks.

" I don't know but I am suspecting that maybe it wasn't me I mean think about it what if they asked any of their witch friends to do this to me. Honestly this theory makes more sense to me than the fact that I am something other than a human." I tell him.

" It's possible." he says.

" okay Aaron I won't keep you any further from your pack meeting ." I say and he gets in his car reluctantly.I see him drive away.
