The atmosphere turned cold once again after her outburst, but none of her classmates stopped her. Even Alicia, who was sitting next to her, didn't intervene as Matilda poured her frustration.
"There was a ti we all thought we are as good as dead, that we can't change that, that even how many tis we tried to dismiss such idea it will be the inevitable fate that will await us"
"You gave us hope, a light that guides us to where we are.....so please.....don't give us such a dejected look"
She lastly said, looking different from her usual strong deanor, this ti, her appearance looked vulnerable.
The seniors were left speechless and missed the ti to respond. They weren't expecting that they would beco such figures in their journey; however, they weren't that unfamiliar with the feeling since they, too, used to be in their shoes. Treated like a trach and always being ousted by others. They, too, once held on to those letters and decided to strive better just like their predecessor. If the situation was reversed and it was they who saw their situation, they would have been disappointed as well.
"We are sorry we didn't an to ....." Aida tried to explain, but not being good with words, she just couldn't express what she wanted to say; instead, she cast a spell that may convey her current emotion, the feeling she could not express.
A warm sensation slowly crept into their skin, and for so reason, they began to feel safe, and then the warmth beca different. It felt as if there was an underlying pain. The kids felt confused about how they ca to such a conclusion, but knowing it was a spell, they simply tried to understand the emotion Aida was trying to convey.
Apollo, on the other hand, couldn't get anything since the system was geared up to automatically block any spell that could influence the mind and emotions. So now he doesn't get why everyone looks like they are about to cry. He also wants to understand it but to do that; he needs to change the setting he put on the system.
"Jeremiah"
[Yes I would remove it]
However, right after the system settings were changed, the spell was already gone, leaving Apollo with an atmosphere he did not understand.
"Ummm....he..." He felt awkward since so of his classmates even looked like they were about to cry. He switches to Alicia, hoping the little cold and emotionless girl couldn't be involved in such an atmosphere.
"Hey Ali...hey you okay!"
Apollo whispered, shouting as he saw Alicia's eyes flickering as if she was about to cry, but the weird thing was that her expression was still neutral.
"Just what kind of face is that?" Apollo thought it was weird, so unexpectedly, he began to laugh, not minding the current course of the atmosphere.
"Why are you laughing at ?"
"I wasn't laughing that hard you know so please don't pinch "
Apollo made a defensive form on his seat since he needed to be fully on guard against Alicia's powerful pinching power.
Their banter, however, changed the air, and since Alicia and Apollo began arguing, everyone's attention shifted to them.
"Hey hey, can't you see we are having a mont here?" McKenzie teased while slightly pushing Apollo. However, that slight push caused Apollo to jerk forward to Alicia's accelerating fist.
"Ooff!" He exclaid facing the entire brunt of the punch.
"Hey, why didn't you dodge?!" Alicia was taken aback since she was sure such a punch could be easily evaded by Apollo.
The serene and lancholy atmosphere dissolved into a cute mont full of banter and laughter as the kids began teasing each other.
"Co on, can't you see we are about to cry here?" Braiden comnted while wiping the snout off her face.
"Man I think all the tears I have went back into my eyes because of you"
With the chaos erupting due to the small argunt, the seniors who were watching them couldn't help but laugh.
"!?"
"Hmmm?"
There was a sudden change that made the kids confused, but then, for so reason, the mont took control, and all they could do was laugh as well.
"Hey, why are we laughing?"
"Don't know...."
They continue to laugh, forgetting the terrible past that once hard them.
After a few more minutes, they finally reverted to their previous talk, but this ti with smiles on their faces and acceptance.
Sotis, there are things we can't change, and no matter how many tis we think of it, we can't turn back the ti to change them.
"Apollo now what do you plan to do now that you know about what happened last year"
Ericson asked as they all settled in their seats again.
"Hmm..." Apollo himself wonders what their next, but then his eyes wander towards a certain soone, Keith. Out of all of them, he was the one who initiated the investigation. He was also the one who read their entries in the diaries the most. So the most attached to this history was him.
"What do you say, Keith? What should we do?" He questions thinking he should call you the shot in this situation.
Keith was very calm, and based on his expression, Apollo could tell he was already anticipating he was the one making the decision.
"What if I say that I want revenge...."
"Then we will do it" Apollo simply replied, then Keith asked again.
"What if I said I want them back here" Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
"Then we will ask them if they want to," Apollo replied again, his eyes looking straight at Keith's.
Ericson and the rest of the seniors just observed, not interfering with what they were doing. Then Keith who seed to be in deep thought nodded his head then said, "Apollo do you have the records of every second year that was expelled before"
"I have"
"How about them"
Apollo knew who was the 'them' he was referring to, so all he did was nod.
"Then let's make it simple let's have a party with them attending it. I don't want them to feel that they are forgotten. And sohow if possible I want all of the second years that ambush them before suffer"
"Can we do it?"
Apollo and the rest of the class just look at him before answering, "Sure!"
The seniors smiled as well, "Can we join in?" They asked, and happily, their juniors answered with, "Sure, you bet!"
The discussion ended there, and soon, with the urge of Livy and the other upper year, they all retired into the rooms that should belong to the supposed second years.
"Can we really use this?"
"Yes, yes, you guys can now. It's already late, and the sun will soon rise. It's better to get so rest, okay?"
Aida then kicks them off to the floor, which should hold the second-year dorm rooms.
"So..."
They were silent at first as they stared at the quiet corridors of the rooms.
"So....umm, you girls should go here, right?" Apollo said, pointing to the other corridor, which is protected by an enchantnt. This enchantnt not only provides security but also a barrier that blocks the male students from entering; of course, this enchantnt also applies to the boys.
"Alright, let's all rest good night!" Aaron said, waving to Vesta, to which the latter just nodded in response.
"Night night, everyone," McKenzie and Blair said as they waved at the girls.
"Night," Apollo said to them, seeing as they slowly approached the corridor.
"Good as well, boys," Alicia lastly said before heading towards a room.
The boys just stood where they are looking as the girls entered their rooms. When they are finally gone that is when they moved and entered theirs.
Apollo who quietly wait for sleep to take him had a slightly terrible idea towards the vice president.
"That guy I am sure he planned to make us thought he had so knowledge of what happened last year but in reality he doesn't have anything"
[What was his objective then?]
"That I know is simple, he just wants sothing to play with. I saw this type of behavior when I was observing like the other council mber. He feels thrill with things he cant understand, I am certain he was unsure why we are looking for information about last year but because we are serious he decided to ss with us"
[Really?]
"Yeah that guy.. because of him I need thinking of all sorts of things I really thought he was the mastermind! Due to his interference we end up coming here late"
[I think delaying you and your friends was one of the thing he finds entertaining]
"That guy has so lose screw in his head but I also kind of hate him"
[Why?]
"You know why, after all he was one of them"
[Ah right he is, by the way your not gonna tell the others about this?]
"I will tell them about it but for now lets focus at the task at hand. Lets tackle everything one by one"
[We will Creator]
