Chapter 27 Memories Of Last Night Shared
"Lumina!" A female called, jumping in front of her upon sighting her best friend.
She was a blonde girl who had her bangs covering one of her eyes while the rest fell loosely behind her down to her hips.
Lumina shrieked, letting out sparks of electricity out of her body, jumping back due to the scare.
Muffled laughter by the perpetrator of this act could be heard.
Stiffly, she turned towards her friend, she had warned her severally to stop her jump scare pranks.
"That does it, Fae!" She snapped, she zapped her by shooting out a little amount of electricity from her index finger on her.
"Ow!" Fae groaned in pain, rubbing her side to the sting.
"Academy rule number one, remember?!" Fae scrunched up her nose.
"We are not allowed to use our gifts on one another except when we are training, sparring against one another or called upon to the city." Lumina recited the rule in an indifferent tone.
"That's right!" Fae nodded, "but I would forgive you once again. I won't tell a soul."
"R-i-g-h-t!" Lumina rolled her eyes, a smile made its way to her lips.
Throwing her hands over Lumina's shoulder, she held a big smile, "Why didn't you tell me you have a new roommate?"
"That's because I didn't even know until I got to my dorm." She deadpanned.
"Oh, I see." Fae nodded her head. "I heard he's a hot one at that."
'Hot?! More like roasted duck!' Lumina raged in her thoughts.
She was yet to get over what Nix had done to her the previous day, He had deliberately ignored her question about that shirt. When she had decided to retire for the night, while he took his bath.
He had somehow managed to slip behind her unnoticed and lift her off the bed, tossing her to the floor like a rag doll, with as little as giving her the blanket he had requested from the closet to sleep on.
While he laid peacefully on the bed with his arms cushioning his head, his tempting muscles flexing.
Several times she had tried to use her gifts on him, but he had managed to deflect her attacks by covering himself with a telekinetic field. He held a smirk all through as he slept with no care in the world.
She instantly regretted not finding out more about his gift before she had tried attacking in the first place. With that ability, it somewhat nullifies hers, which made her more pissed than before.
Her thoughts raged the more she thought back on that hellish night she had.
'How could a guy be so cold to me?!' She gritted her teeth in suppressed anger. Cross popping veins making several comebacks on her forehead.
Fae could sense something was wrong with her friend's countenance and took a step back, masking her nervousness with light chuckles.
"I think that question could be answered another time, right?"
Rolling her eyes, she ignored her friend's comment, taking a seat at her desk. Sparks of electricity coursed through her eyes. She began to rub her hands together to calm herself.
'You jerk, you had a good sleep while I didn't. Yet my best friend has the guts to call you hot!'
"Good day everyone." Mr Zhao said, his voice loud and deep. "Today I would like to address the news of a new recruit in the academy."
The other students began to murmur among themselves, some could clearly tell who it was. They had seen a strange face in the school halls the previous day.
Lumina on the other hand, bit down on her bottom lip, holding her breath as she waited for Mr Zhao's address on the issue. She knew it was her new roommate, Nix.
Taking long strides in, Nix had his hands in his pockets. He had his chin raised, as if he was trying to look his best.
He had pulled his black hair back, showing off the cut back and sides which made it shorter than the top, allowing his hair on top to sit over the sides.
He was wearing a gray long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. It showed a lot of his muscular arm. A black jacket hung from his fingers and loosely behind him, and he wore a pair of black pants. With a pair of black boots, he had been dressed well for his first day in the academy.
'He uses the closet's magic so well, he creates weird styles of clothing.' Lumina had the corner of her lip raised in distaste.
He had his eyes mostly on Lumina, who was sitting at her desk and trying to appear calm and her gaze as far away from his direction as possible. The only thing that gave her away was the sparks of electricity in her eyes.
He let out a soft chuckle, he could clearly remember the previous night they shared. Obviously she didn't think she was the one who would sleep on the floor and not him.
Mr Zhao was a bit surprised by the chuckle he heard, he had wanted to address that at first but decided to go with a different approach.
"Could you please introduce your–"
"The name's Nix." He interrupted Mr Zhao, a smug smile on his face. He looked coldly to the rest of the class.
In contrast to what he had wanted to portray, all they saw was a new student who gave off the brooding bad boy kind of look while only making the girls swoon over.
There were sounds of squealing from the rest of the girls in the classroom, as well as a couple of giggles.
Most of the males casted a displeased look over at Nix, who didn't spare them a glance of any sort.
Lumina looked around her in disgust, she thought if these girls were to have their way to switch with her to be his roommate, they would gladly do so. She was a strong and tough girl, she didn't need this kind of treatment.
Mr. Zhao pointed at an empty seat to the far left of the third row.
Lumina heaved a sigh of relief, that was two rows ahead of hers, that was far enough away to not be so close. She was glad she didn't have to find a way to avoid Nix.
Burying her head in her arms, she squealed in her own form of ecstasy.
Bam!
Her table shook violently, bringing her back to reality.
"Would you mind having some manners?" She sneered as she raised her head, locking her gaze on the perpetrator.
