Chapter 32 - Worry, news, and “ Loooooovvvvv…….. ”

Joslyn glanced at his husband, " They took away Dev's brother ". " They can't stay still anymore, the cyber-attack scared their wits out of them ". His wife mumbled something, " I guess they're so anxious to catch the culprit because the file stolen has a great importance to them ". Kaden's expression darkened, " But this isn't their only motive. A lot of my colleagues were 'called' by the higher ups. And strangely enough all their devices can't receive any message or call ", " so it's impossible to contact them….. ". Mrs. Evenson's face was grave, so it was her husband's.

" I really miss our little princess…. ", Kaden gently hugged her, consoling her, " don't worry, she'll be back at the end of this year. And we can also call her every evening, no ? ". Her expression softened a bit and sighed.

Lyn woke up as usual, getting ready for her daily lessons, a week passed already, since Dev fell ill. Now everything was back to normal.

She picked up her hairpin and fixed those rebellious strands of hair. After glancing at the mirror she nodded, then she set off.

She walked down to the square, a few people were already waiting while sitting lazily on the benches.

" Morning guys ! ", " uh, finally, let's go to the classes. Why do you girls take so long to get down ? ", the latter part was mumbled in a low voice.

But Lyn had quite sharp hearing, she had stretched and pinched him, " What did you say And ? I didn't hear you ". The guy looked at smiling eyes, he retorted, " You always came a bit late.. ". " Or you are early ? ". He was for a moment speechless.

Lex rolled his eyes, and thugged at his buddy, " Let's go ".

Lyn smirked, that fellow didn't listen to no one except Lex. Maybe it was because they were childhood friends, and their temperament was opposite, who knew ?

Then she glanced on the other side, Dev and Esm were walking side by side. Those two seemed to be in a particuòar state. Well they bickered as usual, but now after it they immediately apologized to each other. It was quite amusing to watch them, especially Dev, who seemed to flush a lot recently.

Then she thought, since when did they start to be like this ? Right, since when they went to visit him, all worried.

Esm kept visiting him everyday, regardless of her parents opinion, in fact it was the time she retorted. And went out without their permission.

Dev on the other side, was back to his normal behavior, but his gaze changed. When he was alone, gloominess surfaced on his face. When he was with them, his eyes were calm with a trace of sharpness.

Lyn curled up her lips, finding their reaction to each other funny. As if they had needles under their feets.

" Ah, the flowers are blooming, the sky is blue, and love is in the air ! ", this loud phrase startled those two, who glared at the person who just spoke.

Ander kept laughing, then he walked near Lex, mimicking the pose of a gentleman, offering his hand. His buddy rolled his eyes, and slapped away that hand.

Lyn was trying as hard as possible to hold in her laughthers, covering her mouth. She didn't want to annoy Esm.

Dev glanced coldly at the red haired guy, " no wonder you ended up in class 1, that phrase was so poor ". Ander smirked, " so you're agreeing with its meaning ? ". " You … ! ". Dev was left speechless.

" L-let's go, the class will start soon ", Esm walked forward, while her face flushed. She was so distracted that she stumbled in the middle of the road, Dev immediately ran next to her, to see if she was alright.

Lyn shook her head helplessly, those two were totally lost in their minds, they literally fell in that mushy feeling. Ander patted her shoulder, Lex instead gave an advice, " Let's leave them for a bit. I've heard that this period will last a bit, depending on …. ". " On what ? ", " Of course on how dumb they are ! ".

When the rest of the group walked in, a lovey-dovey picture greeted their sight. Now Esm sat next to him. Lyn tugged at her, since she was just staring at Dev, " uhhh, … Lyn ? ", " you know, he won't disappear till the end of the lessons, so you don't have to glue your eyes on him…. ". Esm immediately strained her back, her eyes becoming round. She opened her mouth trying to find a possible reply. But none popped into her mind.

Then the teacher Thompson strode on. " Good morning students. Today I have one announcement and one topic to discuss. Let's start ".

" So the announcement is about what I've mentioned last week, the welcome celebration. It will take place in 2 days, everyone will receive the invitation with the rules attached to it. Please read it carefully ". The speech went on, it explained the main purpose of the first year : to sound out each student's inclination. It was probed with special tests and daily lessons' responses. After a certain amount of them, all the students were sent home, on a " holiday ". During those, they worked on the results. After that each one will receive a custom-made schedule to follow, to develop their speciality. The speciality had a wide range, from strength over norm to charm. It was declared to, if the ability was over a certain level.

Lyn yawned, while putting her hand in front of her mouth. She was half listening as usual, she really couldn't stay still on her seat. A slight vibration from her wrist caught her attention. A message was delivered, " I'll wait outside your classroom ". It was from Adeus.
