Chapter 39 - Sleeping princess

" Let's congratulate the winners ", a picture appeared near the first place, one was dressed in a sea-blue dress and one in a dark blue suit. Soon the second place was shown, the pair was both dressed in white, but one with red details, the other with pink. The third place was occupied by a black and purple couple.

A small beep resounded on Lyn's device, she opened it. It was saying, ' Congratulations, you've received the badge of Queen dance challenge '. " It's just used to remind you that you've won this challenge, you can choose to show it or hide it in you Id plate ", explained Adeus, " Really ? It has other function or just a collection piece ? ", " Yes, the school had a rank board, one main and a lot of sub-ones. The badge that you have belongs to the activities leaderboard ". " Oh, I never knew this, I'll check it later ". She took a few glances then closed it. " Well done Ander, you're in second place ", spoke Lex. The two exchanged a look, Ander smiled, as usual. Hearing this Esm glared at Dev, stepping on his feet. " Ouch ! Esm… ?? ". Lyn giggled looking at them, she saw them dancing, but he wasn't really good at this, and looked quite clumsy.

" Now, the second activity will start an hour later, now the dancers should rest, shouldn't they ? ". " It's almost like a break time ", " Hey, stop thinking, let's try those pastries !! ", Lyn excitedly pulled her friend's arm, dredging her to the food-tables. Adeus looked at them, shaking slightly his head, Dev just mirrored his action. The other duo was chatting on a sofa, while drinking.

" Ah, one thing ", Lyn tapped on her student ID, a small window popped on, near her profile image, a small round badge appeared. " What's this ? ", asked Esm, a bit curious. Her friend repeated the explanation that she received from her dance partner. Or what she did understand and remember, Then she tapped on the school site, to check the rank system. Rows and rows of numbers and names were seen on leaderboards. They looked for a while to shut it off. The food was way more interesting, so they started to try each type of sweets.

A car parked near the school gates, a security guard stopped it, " Please show your identification ID ". A yellow screen floated out, " We're here to pick up Miss Clinton, we'll wait outside ". He scanned it, a green light glowed, ' Access granted '. The gates opened, letting it enter.

Meanwhile, in the hall, Lyn and her friends were joining the rest of the challenge, but this time she didn't arrive at the first place, she was third. It was mainly a competition of admirers, Isla got first, in second place there was the lilac haired girl, who was paired with Ander before. She glanced on the crown, as a playful smile curved her rosy lips. While she looked like that, inside she was thinking, ' Cap is surely giving me a chide after the event ends '. She remembered how he said that they needed to keep low-profile, but she couldn't help it. Her charms couldn't be hidden even with a full mask on her face. Unexpectedly the sea dressed girl caught a lot of attention, with her specially designed clothing but also her attitude.

Adeus tapped on his earlobe, where a small silver ring was hung, " Clear it, before I leave ", " Sure madman ". His gaze swept on Isla, with a malicious glint. When their eyes met, she blushed and looked down. ' He's finally looking at me !! ', she thought, feeling happy. She raised her head again to have another look at him, but he was already gone. A disappointing feeling spread in her body. ' Forget it, today was the first day that he looked at me !!! '. Her figure happily walked away, to her friends.

" She not only has bad temper, but also a retarded brain, isn't she ? ", " Oh my, you can't be so rude to girls, you know ? We're like delicate flowers ", " Save it, we got business to do, let's go ", the other two figures noded and all of them walked out from the hall.

Lyn and Esm went for another eating round, while chatting with new acquaintances. The boys were not far away, also socializing around, only a lone blue haired student was sitting in a corner, with his gemstone-like eyes that were lazinling sweeping around.

Soon midnight came, all the students were half-asleep, but some were still active. Well at the latter the two girls weren't included. Both of them were sleppy, with their eyelids half closed. The main purpose of the event was achieved, it made the newcomers to relax around their seniors and new fellow classmates. So now it was sleeping time and a nice weekend of rest.

Adeus sighed, she was over the sofa with her head leaning on her folded arms, almost snoring. He carefully picked her up, trying to not do abrupt movements. " uhhh… ? ", her hazy honey eyes meet his. She looked a bit lost then went back to her dreamland. " Pffffff!!! Surely enough, she was even able to sleep during the afternoon on a desk ! ", laughed Andrea. A jab hitted him, Lex put a finger in front of his mouth, then pointed at his left. Dev was also doing the same thing, carrying an half-asleep Esm. The group left, sending the girls back, asking one of the female security guards to help them, since they couldn't cross the girl dorms.

" How come that they're already out of energy ? ", " They probably woke up early to get ready ", answered Lex. Soon the three of them reach their dorms, the two buddies bid goodnight to each other and also to Adeus, who just nodded and left. " What a strange guy, he only speaks to our Lyn, tsk ", complained the red haired, his friend just shook his head and went into his bedroom.

A cup of glass flew across the room, hitting the wall and shattering down pieces of glass and a purple liquid. " Darling, calm down ! This isn't Lala's fault ! ", a middle couple were arguing while a figure was kneeling on the floor. " What woman do you know !? Those were our reserve bodyguards !! Now they're all dead, dead !!! ". He glared at the kneeling figure, " I really spoiled you rotten, you even dare to touch something that you weren't supposed to do. Very well then, you'll stay in the punishment room for a week starting from now ". Horror flashed on Isla's face, " No, no, no I don't want to ! Dad, please forgive me, I didn't know that they would be killed !!! I really didn't ", she crawled on the carpet, grabbing her father's leg, while crying. " servant, drag her away ", a cold tone answered her useless pleading.
