Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

"You need water?" he murmurs. I gently caressed my hand on his cheek. He pull something from the blanket and gave it to me. I smiled on how sweet he is. I gently sat up and drank the water. The chill of the water relieved my hangover. "Love?" he calls. It feels like a dream when someone calls me that.

"Hmm?"

"I love you." My smile even widens and my hangover is totally gone. He is smiling too with closed eyes. I bent down and kissed his cheeks. It was exciting hearing it from his mouth.

"We need to get up for breakfast." I told him. He pulls me down and my face falls on his chest.

"I am still devouring this moment." We stay like that for a while and I close my eyes again and devour his embrace and the refreshing blow of the wind. I don't know how long we stay like that but we really ignore our classes. We also had known that it is almost eleven and in a few minutes will be time for lunch.

I sang with the song of Bruno Mars, Runaway, while enjoying the shower and bubbles. I feel so in love and I guess he's also doing the same. After I had wear my uniform I immediately put food on Katherine's bowl and grabbed my bag. When I open the door his face is immediately in front of my door.

"Hi love." He greets. Good thing that I brush my teeth thoroughly and use my refreshing mouthwash.

"Hey," I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his lips. "I am really hungry." I murmur. He took my bag before I even complains.

"Same here." He offer his hand to me and I intertwine mine as we walk off the dormitory to the dining hall. We all get a few attention but I tried to ignore it since Nick is quite popular and a big known for girls. I also feel uneasy on the way he treat me.

He let me sit and told me that he's the one to get our food. I looked at Marissa who is all grinning. Eliza is nowhere and my brother Andrew is grimacing while Patrick is busy on reading while eating.

"Where's Eliza?" I asked Marissa.

"She's out of the school since yesterday. She said that she has an emergency out their house." I nod at her answer. I looked at Andrew and tried myself not to raise my eyebrow but I just did raise my eyebrow. He's really creeping me out.

"What did you do with him last night?" he started interrogating me.

"Well, we drank tequila while eating apples and we sleep." I told him.

"Are you sure that you didn't take advantage of him?" I gape on what he just said. I was about to scream at him but Patrick speaks with a really just cool head.

"How are you so sure?" Andrew asked as he move swiftly like a hawk to Patrick.

"Because, I know better than you do." He closed the book and take a sipped on his water.

They all stop from interrogating me or more like arguing in front of me when Nicholas came and put full of foods in front of me. I was a little surprise on the foods. There's my favorite big fried shrimps and tempura. Also fruit salad and giant sandwich.

"Eat a lot, my love."

"Thanks." I smiled at him. I took the water first and sipped on it.

"Goodness, it is really awful seeing my brother and my best friend." Marissa complains. I just winks at him while Patrick is watching us. I looked at him and he stare at Nicholas. I was about to tell him to quit staring but Nicholas look back at Patrick and winks at him that makes his eyebrow raise.

It was quite unusual when my boyfriend walk me to my class. He told me that he might pick me up before our dismissed. I told him not to but he insist. I feel a little embarrassed to everybody on my classroom because he kissed my forehead.

"We are going to eat dinner together. Okay? And if you are hungry, I put foods on your bag." He winks. I was about to check my back but he stop me and twist me to my to front the door. "I love you, and don't try to flirt with others." He murmurs on my ear.

"Okay." I sigh lazily.

"Go back to your class now, Mr. Gregory." My mom's voice is just behind us. "I am sure that Mr. Kraig Patterson will give you a hard time today."

"Yes, Mom!" he saluted and disappear.

I tried to listen attentively on my second subject but I just can't help but to think of him. And I guess he's thinking of me too. Because, I felt his presence outside the door and probably can't wait for our dismissed. I guess that he's really a little impatient of waiting. So when the bell rings, the professor declare a dismissed. So I hurried on packing my things and walk outside to see him leaning on the wall patiently waiting for me.

"You miss me that much?" I asked him. He smiles and spread his arms. I immediately run to his arms and feel protected by him.

"You have no idea how much it makes me eager to be with you again." He murmurs. I feel so happy on his words. I felt his love and everything he felt for me. I just feel like the happiest woman in the whole world because of his love.

I am happy more than anyone. At night we would talk each other through video call. He said that his roommate is having a good time on his girlfriend somewhere in the academy. I would laugh and laugh because his roommate has a bad attitude of my brother. He also told me to jog with him at five and he's going to pick me up near our dormitory.

I woke up thirty minutes before five and hurried to brush my teeth, wash my face and put little powder then, wear my jogging bra and jogging leggings. I put my shoes on and comb my hair and fixed it. I waited a little for five.

I think everybody are still sleeping but I stop from walking when I heard someone talking. The voice is very familiar. I peek on the door that is little open. The door of the manager of our dormitory and make the house rules.

Yes, Headmistress. I will train Leona well. Of course… everything will be perfectly in your plan.

What plan? I stop when my stomach gurgles I feel bad hearing those things. So I just exited and ignores it. I gently open the door so it won't creak. I peek on the corridor and saw him patiently waiting meters away. So instead of walking straight to him I sneak like a cat to the other wall. Then I gently step closer and then the most exciting part is…

"Boo." I almost scream and my heart really jump out from my chest when he's the one startle me. He giggles and holds my cheeks. I am frowning at him and he is all laughing. "Better luck next time, babe." He kissed my lips and holds my hand. "I will taught you a few warm ups before we start to jog."

"Could we just kiss and cuddle?" I asked him. He gently bit his lower lips and was about to agree but I pushed his forehead and walk past him. "I change my mind. Let's jog." I wanted to laugh on his expression.

I and he are running on the woods and he keeps on tempting me to kiss him. I tried not to, for him to look funny every time I seduce him and tempt him back. We walk back to the building but I told him to go back to their building. He insisted on walking me back but I pushed him away.

After our breakfast, Nicholas told me that he can't eat with me because he got an early training with his mentor. So, I was walking to my class and I dropped by to the Headmistress's office for some reasons. I saw Justine with his Mentor. He looks so pale and sick.

"Please let him rest on the hospital. The doctors will study his case."

"Thank you Headmistress." Mr. Falcon, Justine's mentor. They all walk off the office and I had notice the same bruises like Paul.

"Miss Patterson," the Headmistress get my attention. I nod my head and she gesture me to sit and I did.

"What can I do for you, Headmistress?" I asked her politely.

"Well, Adhiti, I am quite worried because of flu in our school. I would like to conduct medical tests to the students. However, I cannot conduct it because you are quite allergic on medicines and needles."

"I will be fine for not taking the medical tests. I am sure that I am perfectly healthy."

"Since you are the President of Drama Class, please prepare a performance for the night ball this coming Foundation Day."

"Sure, Headmistress." She smile genuinely and dismiss me. I stood and walk towards the door. But she stop me when she calls my name. I turn to her to wait for her words.

"How are you? I know that you've been traumatize since Paul's death…"

"I am perfectly fine, Headmistress. I had been in a lot of nightmares about Paul but I can get through this. Since he won't ever come back to us. Thank you for your concern." I smile tight. Yes, I had been dreaming about Paul and he's asking for my help. I know that my nightmares isn't just nightmares because it has a meaning on it. Paul really need my help before and after he dies. Something is wrong in this school and it kills him unpredictably.

She nods at me and I exited the room. It startles me when Eliza appears on the door. I smile at her but she gave me a force smile. I don't know what's wrong but it doesn't seem that she's comfortable with me. I move to give her the way for entrance. She nods at me and enter the room. It confuses me because she became formal towards me. What the hell is wrong with her? If there's something wrong, she should've tell me.

I decided to walk on the field and I expected my boyfriend there. Damn, I could watch him playing soccer without any shirt. He was so focused on their training with my brother Andrew and others. When he had felt my presence, he immediately smile and wave at me. I wave at him with smile that I didn't expect would be bigger than before.

"Gregory!" their coach scowls at him when he's not moving on his position. He immediately moves and run along with others. He's so adorable. Since, I have no classes until nine, I sat on the bleachers and watch them play. Some girls are there to have a peek on the players, mostly to Andrew and Nick.

I had heard them talking about Nick and how good he was. It makes me really agitated on their words on 'how good he was' in where? Bed? Did he ever gave them pleasure that's why they know 'how good he was' in bed? Damn these bitches. They keep on talking and laughing while I am eavesdropping. They probably don't know that I am his girlfriend, or maybe they already know but they are too insecure to tell it in front of my face.

Nick runs to me after he took towels to wipe his face. He bent down and leans his hands besides me to corner me. He smile so charmingly and touches his wet nose to mine. I wipe his nose by my forefinger and pushed his forehead away.

"Hi Nick." The girls probably waves at him. He glance at them with nods and look back at me. I took the towel from his hand and gently dump it on his wet face.

"Do I smell bad, that's why you look like killing off someone?" he sweetly asked. I shook my head and gently dump it on his neck. "Are you okay?"

"Let's talk later." I told him. Before I even put my hand down, he hold it and it stayed on his neck.

"We can talk now."

"Do you have time with me after classes?"

"Yeah, before dinner." He smiles. "What do you want to do later?" he asked mischievously as he gently move his lips to my ear that gives me goose bumps. "We could have a night picnic under the apple tree."

"You are not thinking of fucking me?" I seductively whisper on his ear. That makes him gulps and gently bit my earlobe.

"No. It would be perfect in our honeymoon with scented candles and rose petals."

"Really? I thought that you are 'good in bed'." That makes him stop for a while and I think he already get what I am talking about.

"You can say that. I can be a best bedmate, partner, boyfriend, and a husband if you are my wife and my everything."

"Do you usually say those words to your girlfriends?" that's the usual question of girls if their boyfriends are rolling their heads.

"No. Just you, baby." He smack my cheeks. "What do you want for our picnic? Do you want to watch movies while we are eating?"

"Sure. That will be good." I smiles. He took my hand that holds a towel and kissed my knuckles. He almost bump his forehead to mine when Andrew whip his towel on the back of his head.

"Stop harassing my sister." He scowl at him.

"I am not harassing your sister." He said calmly and smiles at me. He sat up after stealing a kiss from my lips. "Later love." He winks and run to the field. I look up at Andrew who is grimacing at me.

I have to go back to my class. I suddenly stop from walking when I saw Eliza who just got out from the Headmistress's office together with Leona. I guess that they were that closed to each other. Leona smiles at me and greet me with hug and cheeks to cheeks. Her usual greeting towards her maybe-future-sister-in-law.

"I heard that you and Nick are already together. That fast?" she chuckled and I force a smile. "Nick is so in love and I guess that he doesn't want you to be with other man."

"Ahhh…" I don't exactly know what to say. I glanced at Eliza who stay silent and all emotionless. "Thank you?" I am not so sure on my answer and I regretted on talking back.

"You are so welcome. Nick was so playful on other girls, and he never been this serious on courting someone."

I don't know what I did to shut her up. But Eliza looks paler whenever Leona talk more about Nick and I. I lean on the door before I go back to the stage to inform my artist on what they are going to do.

"Jean," I called my Vice-President. She walk towards me while she's holding a clipboard. I explained her everything that we are going to do. They are too excited to start practicing and I guess this is my last picnic with Nick for now. We are going to do over time next week since we are still planning on the performance.

I lean on his shoulder while his arms are around me and we are both leaning on the trunk of the tree. He keep brushing his fingers on my hair while his other hand is intertwined with mine.

"You look so exhausted." He noticed. I just reply a sigh. "Do you want me to massage you?"

"Yeah, sure…" he did massage my head because it was the most thing that aches. If he didn't flirt with me, I had already fallen asleep. I giggles when he nibbles my ear. "Stop that." I scold him.

"Why is your ear so cold?" he asked and rubbed his hands and pressed it on my ear. I was relieved because I suddenly feel warm.

"Are you always this caring with girls?"

"Not at all. Only the girls that I love. Like my sister, my mom and you…" he pull my head to him and he gently kissed my nose. I gave him an unconvinced look.

After our romance under that apple tree, he escorted me to our dorm with lots of kisses. If I didn't pushed him away, he will never stop on kissing my face. He was that irresistible on me?

"I love you, Adhiti." It always makes me stop, flattered and amazingly nervous whenever he said those words. It only means that it is all true that he loves me.

I thought I was already sleeping, but it feels like I leave my body in my sleep. I saw Katherine sleeping at the edge of my bed while purring. Then I open the door when it feels like someone is calling my name. I walk straight out the dormitory and had seen our Dorm Manager talking about Paul and Justine. While I was walking on the cold dark corridor, it looks like there are smokes around. It is freezing cold. It seems like fogs.

My feet bring me in front of the office of the Headmistress. I heard voices talking. The door just open for me and on the dark room with candles around, I saw a person wearing black cloak and hood. I can't see his face or determine who he is but all I know is the Headmistress and Leona inside the room. I gasped when someone bumped behind me but it looks like I am an air. Those creepy people kneels and bow at them.

"Your Highnesses…" even their voice are deep, hoarse dual and monstrous.
