Chapter 4

I sat in my dorm for the rest of the day not really feeling like socializing. It was almost time to have dinner in the caffeteria. So I got up from my bed and walked out of my dorm. I was starving and I wasent going to wait to be told to eat.

As I entered the cafeteria I saw Dimitri in line. I jogged up to him in excitment. He turned around in time to see me approaching. "Why hello there." He said as his lips formed a smile. I smiled as well as if his smile was contagious. "Mind if I join you for lunch?" I said following him to a bench after we've both gotten our food.

"You're already here so why bother asking?" He said a annoying grim on his face. I rolled my eyes as i sat down across him. We ate in silence for a while before I spoke up. "What do you plan on doing after bermidia high? " He seemed to be in thought for a moment before he replied "I dont know maybe become a lawyer or something."

He shrugged not really certain of his words. I stare at him puzzled. "Why a lawyer out of everything?" I ask him not understanding his decision. "What do you mean?" He asks me bemused.

"Well I thought you'd want a career that had something to do with your powers, you know something like an Agronomist you know study plants and stuff."

He simply shrugged and went back to indulging in his meal. I decided to do the same and focus on my lunch. We were both finished after a while and we began chattig it up for a few more minutes. Eventually Dimitri decided to head for his dorm wishing me goodnight.

I went back to my dorm as well and decided to read a book since I didn't really feel like sleeping. I read a few pages till I felt my eyes ache from the strain. I pulled out my phone from my drawer and texted my sister. I haven't had it in a while since phones were strictly restricted during class.

Yurcia and I chatted it up for a while. I told her about my experiences in Bermidia so far. My sister and I are very close so I trust her with everything, she was like my best friend. Eventually I went to sleep feeling exhausted.

...........

I heard a beeping sound and groaned when I realised it was my arlarm. I stayed in bed for about 5 minutes before deciding to finally get up. I did my daily routine of getting ready before i left. I headed to the cafeteria for breakfast of course. I noticed Theresa sitting alone with a book infront of her.

I decided to head over to her sitting on the opposite bench. "Hello Theresa." I said with a slight smile as soon as I sat. She looked up from her book with a slight frown, her eyebrows knitted together. Her expression changed to a smile upon noticing it was me. "Hey girl, sorry I didn't see you there, just like how you didnt see me yesterday." She adds after a dramatic pause.

I raise a brow at her in puzzlement. "Child what do you mean?" "Don't think I didnt see you with Dimitri yesterday." She said pointing at her index finger at me in accusation. I chuckle at her coment. This girl was so overly dramatic jumping to conclusions like that. "Look if you're mad that I left you for Dimitri, I apologise." I say raising my hands up in defeat.

"No! I'm mad because you didn't tell me you pulled Dimitri." She exclaimed dramatically. I simply rolled my eyes and took a bite of my food. "First of all , Dimitri and I aren't a thing." I say after swallowing my food going in for more. She snickered shaking her head at me. "Its the way you say 'first of all' knowing there is no second point you have to say." "Girl shut up and eat your food." I wave her of pissed at the fact that she's correcting me over something that dosent even matter.

We talked some more for the next fifteen minutes before it was time for the first class of the day. Of course mine had to be separated from Theresa. She walked me to my first class without even asking knowing I probably didn't know where it was. I hugged her goodbye before I opened the door and stepped inside.

I sat next to a girl with black hair waiting for the class to start. She payed me no mind as I sat, lost in whatever she's drawing which I had to admit was good. I cringed internally when I looked back only to find none other than Adimiro sitting alone in the corner. I averted my gaze from when he realized i was staring pretending to be busy with my books.

After a few minutes of waiting which felt like hours the teacher finally decided come to class. She was a fine looking woman in a neat white shirt and pencil skirt. "Good morning students, I'm Mrs Khoza and I'll be your history teacher." I take note that shes married by the way she pronounced her surname. Love that for her.

She proceeded to teach us about the history of magic. Which was quite interesting. I knew that I was somewhat related to the first people to have special abilities but I never really took it into consideration because of my family. They weren't into magic that much and my mother the only one in the family who had 'powers' said she just stopped which made me drop it eventually because she would'nt explain why.

We stayed in history class for about an hour and a half before the bell rang and we were instructed to stand up. The rest of the day was a drag. When the bell rang for lunch I decided to head to my dorm for a nap making sure I set an arlarm that would wake me up 20 minutes whichwas before the end of lunchtime.

If there was one thing I loved about this school it was that we were free to go to our dorms anytime as long as we weren't banking a class. Which meant more sleep for me, which mean't happiness.

I wake up from my nap upon hearing the sound of my arlarm. I get up and head downstairs. As I opened the door to the cafeteria I am tackled to the ground unexpectedly. I hit the ground with a thud as I fall on my ass. The person on top of me making things worse. I groan in pain but mostly frustration. I just woke up from a nap so I was already cranky but this was the cherry on top.

"Oh there you are." I hear a voice I immediately recognize as Theresa. She was the one who fell on me. She quickly got up and reached her hand out to help me. I swat it away getting more irritated by the second. I push myself up and grab Theresa's skirt realizing I actually need some support getting up. "What the hell was that?" I ask her my eye slightly twitching.

"I'm so sorry I was actually on my way to look for you." Theresa said entangling her arm around mine as she leads me to a bench. "I was sleeping and I just woke up." I sigh still trying to shake of the tiredness. "Oh, you know I actually thought of checking you in your dorm but I got lazy." she shrugged as she sat down on the bench and I followed.

"I think waking me up from my nap is worse than crashing in to me with your body" I say my mouth full as I take a bite from Theresa's choclate cake. I moan at the deliciousness of it, this had to be the best choclate cake I'e ever had. "Was Gordon Ramsay here?!" I exclaim as I take another bite. "Girl you didnt even ask if that was my cake" Theresa tells me in a bashful manner. "Well of course it is you were here before me were'nt you?" I ask her with a raised brow expecting her to say yes. "Nope, I picked a random bench that happened to have a choclate cake on it."

Pause. My eyes move to her direction as I freeze my movements. "If you dont tell me you're joking right now." I say my voice wavering slightly as I begin to slowly feel nauseous regretting my life decisions. She begins to laugh hysterically as she watches me panic. "I'm joking!" I narrow my eyes at her watching her laugh for a while with awkward look on my face. She was laughing so hard she held onto her stomach and almost fell of the chair.. Her laugh finally begins to die down, she lets out a breath calming herself down before clearing her throat. "Are you done" I stare at her with a blank look.

"Yes ma'am" she winks at me before the bells ring. I sigh as I get up looking at Theresa with an exhausted look. "I swear if we arent in the same class." I say to her as we begin to walk out of the cafeteria. "Well I have physical training as my next class, what about you?" she asks walking a little slower than I am making me pause a little we can walk side by side. "Oh me too" I squeal in excitement.

We walk through the doors that lead to the grounds, and it is still as majestic as I remember. Once again I get to see the other red and brown uniforms among the green ones. Theresa leads me through a different pathway from the one I walked in the last time I've been here. This time the are no other pathways just a door that lead to a hallway. I've never seen this part of the school before like how much more bigger could this school be?! We pass a few doors and enter in the forth one.

It was a stadium like place, just a big but unusually structured. Instead of those normal linings you'd see on a normal soccer field this one had medium sized circles and blocks that look randomly placed. Within a few minutes more students start coming in. Our professor came in not long after.

"Good day students I am Mr browning and I will be teaching you how to defend yourself using your abilities. I will group you all in to pairs of two and you'll have to go against you partner. You may change into your gym attire. Each locker has at least 3 gym uniforms so I'm sure you'll all be fine. You have 10 minutes to do so."

Theresa and I are already skipping to the locker rooms before Mr browning even finishes. "Oh my goodness I hope we are grouped together." I say feeling a certain stir at the idea. Theresa speaks so fast that I cant even hear her. We got into a stupid argument because of it but it solved itself eventually. After at least 7 minutes Theresa and I came out of the locker rooms in our gym attire, which just consisted of a pair of plain exercising shoes black cargo pant and a white tank top. I really liked its simplicity it was the first thing I saw in the school that wasent different and aesthetic.

"Alright lets not waste anymore time and group you with your partners." Mr browning said after we were all done. "Theresa and Audrey are the first ones to go up against each other." My jaw dropped. I was so distraught as I watched Theresa head over to stand with Audrey, leaving me alone. The teacher called a few more names after that. "and finally..."

"Adimiro and Michela"
