"What??" Amy said, surprised. "When did you guys get into a relationship?" she asked. "Just today" Almora replied. "I wish I could tell you guys that it's not real yet" she said in her mind. "Can we talk about this later?. I'm hungry" she said, rubbing her stomach. "Okay" Stacy said.
They all left and headed for the cafeteria. Lucian also joined them later. Amy and Stacy asked about Almora and Evans relationship. "He was the one who confessed his feelings and I liked him so I decided to give it a try" Almora said a partial truth. "So you finally have a boyfriend" Stacy teased and Almora chuckled "Yep I do".
"Here's your treat" Evans said placing a bowl of ice cream in front of Almora. "Ice cream" Almora cheered. "Why are you always like this in front of ice cream?" asked Amy. "It's because I love, love, love it" she said, smiling. She thanked him and he bowed saying "You're welcome". "Show off" Lucian scoffed.
Almora immediately digged into her ice cream. She was almost done when a student came and told her that she has been summoned by the disciplinary committee. "Why?" she asked. The person didn't give a reply and left. "Well that was rude" Stacy said. "You better not keep them waiting. They hate it" Oliver said.
"I'll be back soon" she said and left. Lucian kept staring at Almora's back till she was out of sight. He shifted closer to Evans and said "So when did the feelings start to develop?". "Why do you want to know that?" asked Evans. "Almora is my friend so I get to make sure she is not in a relationship with a douchebag".
"Like she isn't friends with one already" Evans said, rolling his eyes. This got Lucian mad and was about to pounce on him but Brian and Oliver quickly restrained him. He stormed out of there. "We will see you guys later" Oliver said and followed after Lucian with Brian.
Almora entered into a room that looked like a palace court. There were six high chairs round the room with six people on it. Their chairs represented the color they were which was blue, green, yellow, brown, purple and pink. Almora couldn't see their faces as they hid it in the shadows. She walked to the middle where Melanie and her friends were. Ms Carmen was also present there.
"Red, we heard" the man on the brown chair was cut off by Almora. "It's Almora not Red". "What audacity you have?" the man on the yellow chair said staring at her. "My father said we should always correct those who do something wrong. So it's Almora not Red" she firmly said.
"You still dare to talk. Carmen is this what you have been teaching this students?" the man on the brown chair said, staring at the headmistress. "No sir. I don't know where this insolence came from" Ms Carmen said bowing her head. The man just waved his hand and turned back to the students.
"Can you explain what you remember?" the man asked Almora. Almora explained it the same way she did to her friends. "So you don't remember anything else?" the woman on the blue chair asked, staring intently at her. "No" she replied.
"Back to the three of you" the man on the brown chair said, turning his head to look at them. "You said you dropped her in the dark forest in a battered state". They nodded affirmative. "Was that how you found her?" he asked the headmistress and she nodded affirmative.
"Why did you kidnap her?" the woman on the blue chair asked Melanie. "She snatched my boyfriend from me" she said. "And who may that be?" the woman asked. "It's Lucian Harris" she replied. "The boy with the dark magic" the Man on the yellow chair said. "I'm sure he must have manipulated them" he continued.
"No, No, No, he didn't manipulate anybody. I'm a Red and a Fierce one at that. I can't be manipulated that easily and I became his friend out of my own free will. He broke up with her because she was cheating on him" Almora said, countering them. "You're quite brave Almora, speaking without fear" the woman on the pink chair praised. "Brave" the man on the yellow chair scoffed.
"The three of you general punishment is that your powers will be taken away from you for 3 weeks and for the main Mastermind, Melanie. You're no longer the lead dancer for the dance performance of the winter show. Case dismissed" the man on the brown chair said. Almora left and went straight to her room.
She dropped herself on the bed. "So those are the disciplinary committee. Gosh they are so annoying" she said as she stretched. "The woman on the blue chair sounded familiar" she thought to herself but just shrugged her shoulders.
She closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately.
