Gia led Alex to the common room with her hands over his eyes, "Watch your steps," Gia cautioned Alex. They reached the common room, it was beautifully decorated, Irises group did a good job with their task. When the rest of the students saw Gia arrive with Alex they all screamed, "Happy Birthday Alex!!!!"
Gia removed her hands from Alex's eyes. Alex was marvelled by the decorations and the love he received from the students. Mila came forward to him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek and said,
"Happy birthday Ally."
All the students couldn't help but make a fuss about it. Alex was very grateful so he thanked the students for going through a lot of stress to celebrate him, "Don't thank us, thank Mila," Gia said, letting off a warm smile. "Yeah, she made us cook. Something I never do." Apollo joked about it. Alex then turned to Mila saying,
"Thank you, Mila. I'm so-" Alex couldn't finish his sentence when Mila cut him short, "It's your birthday, no need for sentiments,"
"Shall we eat?!" Julius suggested, he was in a hurry to eat as he was starving. "Yes we shall Julius," Mila said. Mila led the way to the dining room, they all say down to eat, and as they ate they discussed,
"Oh my goodness, Gia, you guys did a wonderful job. This food tastes like heaven!" Ophelia said with food in her mouth. "Thank you so much, although it was a war zone in that kitchen, we still got the work done," Gia said as they all laughed. "Bro where were you when we were organizing your Birthday party?" Sebastian asked out of curiosity. "I stayed in my room, Julius told me that Mr Alan gave the orders," Alex responded.
"I know I know, I'm a genius," Julius said as he laughed hysterically. Jason saw Julius eating fish and asked him,
"Doesn't eating fish makes you some kind of cannibal?"
"Don't start now," Julius said. Jason reminded him a lot of his twin brother; Jude. He paused for a while and said, "Hey guys, I don't mean to ruin the mood, but have we ever wondered where Greta could be?"
Everyone's mood changed, they looked pale except Jason and Auriela, "That bitch deserves whatever comes her way," Jason said aggressively. He has no remorse for Greta.
"We are no strangers to what she did to you, but at least we can't deny the fact that she's probably suffering," Sebastian tried to defend Greta. "Suffering? Suffering? Sebastian, Jason almost died." Auriela yelled. "We're immortals remember?" Julius said.
"I call bullshit. I felt like I was dying. None of you in this room, none of you! Have ever felt the way I felt when that window was opened" Jason said pointing to the window that was opened when his skin was melting. Iris knew what Jason was talking about because she also felt the same way when she had those marks.
"There's no such thing as immortality. Our purpose on this earth is to die." Jason said agitatedly. Everyone became melancholic when they heard what Jason said. "So you're calling Mr Alan a liar?" Apollo said to Jason. "I'm not calling anyone a liar. I just feel like there are more lies than truths in this academy." Jason said. Mila had had enough of the commotion going on,
"Guys! It's enough. I don't care whether this academy is full of lies or full of truths. The fact remains that we all came here, we chose this life. It is our consequence to bear, be it immortal or not." Mila said. Everyone became quiet, "Now please, let's eat and head over to the pool for the game." She added.
REFLECTION ROOM
There Greta laid, seated on the floor. She had lost all hope of getting out of the reflection room. She had gone crazy, she would talk to herself and hit herself at the same time. She kept on uttering these words, a turning point. Shortly, she started seeing things. She saw Julius coming from a distance,
"Julius! Julius!" She cried out. He came closer to her then she said, "Julius I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used you. I'm sorry.." She touched Julius on the chest only for her to see that he was not real. She screamed out of frustration.
"What did I do to you!" She screamed at herself. "What have you done to me!" She yelled as she hit herself continuously, crying.
POOLSIDE OF HMA.
10 of the students were inside the pool, except Julius and Hamilton. They were both seated on a wooden chair beside the pool. The rest of the students gathered around the four corners of the pool all in their underwear.
"Pass me the basket," Mila said. It was time for the game to begin. The game of the Devil's Basket.
"So, this game is called Devil's basket, as we all know. Here's how it goes, I'll start first." Mila picked a small piece of folded paper from the 24 pieces of folded paper in the basket. She opened it and read it aloud,
"I dare you to pick any guy, check the size of his dick, and tell us what you see." Mila laughed after reading it.
"I bet it's Jason that wrote this." She said. She hummed as she scanned the boys she would pick. She swam towards Jason, he smirked at her flirtatiously,
"What?" He said to her as she used one finger to open his boxers. She gasped out of shock,
"Oh, it's a big one." She said as she swam back to her position. Jason laughed as she said that,
"What did you expect?" Jason said.
Auriela was jealous that Mila got to see Jason's penis before her. It was Ophelia's turn, she picked a piece of folded paper, opened it and read,
"Pick any guy and give him a blow job for 2 minutes." Ophelia read this and was immediately irritated.
"Nope, I'm not doing this," Ophelia said.
"Uh-uh. I'm not gonna let virgin Mary over there ruin this game. You're gonna pick a guy and give a fucking blow job!" Auriela ordered.
"You can't fucking boss me around. I have the right to do whatever the fuck I want okay?!" Ophelia retorted.
"Guys! This issue can be solved. The next person who reads their dare can choose to swap with Ophelia." Mila said.
It was Hamilton's turn, he followed suit and he read,
"Pick a guy, and kiss him for 2 minutes."
Ophelia asked Hamilton if he wanted to swap. He said no. He turned to Julius. Everyone watched in amazement,
"Can I kiss you?" Hamilton asked. Julius was stunned. He had kissed a boy once in his life. But he was willing to give it a try again. He stood up and Hamilton kissed him. Julius held Hamilton's structured chest as they kissed.
Jason turned away so he couldn't watch them, while the others watched them. Two minutes was over. Hamilton looked at Julius with his sexy eyes and went back to his seat.
"Okay... I wasn't expecting that." Iris said. It was her turn to pick. Ophelia hoped she could swap with her. Iris read out her dare,
"I dare you to turn Apollo on." Iris couldn't do this. Apollo was her brother. No one knew about this so she told Ophelia that she would swap with her.
Everyone murmured at what Iris said. Jason burst into laughter. He was laughing uncontrollably,
"She doesn't wanna turn him on. Apollo is fucking unfuckable." Jason said mocking Apollo.
"He's not unfuckable, dumbass," Iris said in his defence. Ophelia agreed to swap with Iris. So Iris had to pick a guy to give him a blow job. She swam to Sebastian, she looked at him and went down on him, just by touching his penis made Sebastian moan,
"The dude's fucking attracted to you!" Jason yelled.
Iris told Sebastian to sit out of the pool, while she stayed inside. He sat on the concrete as Iris removed his boxers, she put all of his penis into her mouth and she sucked it in and out. This made Sebastian moan until he cummed. Iris had Sebastian's sperm all over her mouth, she swallowed them, then she used her pinky finger to clean the remaining sperm beside her lips. She swam back to her position as some of the girls gave her a high five,
"You have to teach me," Gia said to Iris.
It was time for Ophelia to turn Apollo on, she swam over to him. Ophelia had sets of big breasts so she went over to him and removed her bra, at the sight of these Apollo's penis was hard. She swam back to her position and everyone cheered for her.
It was Aurelia's turn, she marked the paper she wanted to pick. She found it and she opened it and read,
"Ask any guy, the last intimate thing he did that he regrets"
Auriela swam towards Jason and asked,
"What was the last intimate thing you did that you regret? Be honest." Auriela said afraid of what he'd say. "You really wanna hear this huh," Jason said to Auriela as he bit his lips. Then he said, "The last intimate thing I did that I regret was kissing you. If it wasn't for Arthur I wouldn't have been in your room that night."
Auriela was shocked by the words that came out of Jason's mouth. By looking into her eyes, one could tell how embarrassed and ashamed she was. She slapped Jason hard in the face and stormed out of the swimming pool. Jason couldn't care less, he looked at her ass as she walked away.
