Winter looked smug as she turned the id around to check it's owner info.
'i caught you now kiss
She is over the moon when suddenly she was dragged back to earth forcefully!
"What?!!"
She gaped at the empty id dumbfounded. She lifted her displeased face to the classroom.
She could now see yellow eyes clearly from here. He turned to look at her giving her a wicked smile. She now knows he knew!
Winter"!!"
Her mouth twitched and she felt the impulse to go there and smack the smirk off his devishly handsome face.
"Mm" She took deep breaths and controlled her expression.She gave him a smile and mouthed some words to him.
He seem to have heard it as his smirk got wider.
Winter face dropped as she shuddered.
"Pervert" she murmured and turned her stare back at the enchanted id.
She should have checked her luck today before leaving her apartment. She actually 'came across' an enchanted id
This kind of id can't be stolen because the information automatically wipes off if stolen. This kind of magic can only be performed by higher witches. It is called magic off practicer, it means magic that continues working with a sense of consciousness by itself without the help of the caster. Like how the id knows it is stolen and automatically wipes off it informations which it would also restore back once in 'safe hands'.
Winter safely kept it in her pocket hoping it doesn't go back to it's owner side.
She picked up her books and went away to the next class.
Since she was chased out of the former class early there was nobody in the second class except the teacher that is silently cleaning his podium.
"Good morning Win" the teacher said with his back still turned to her.
"Good morning Jeremy" She replied.
He turned back and stare at her with a smiling face resting lightly on his podium.
Jeremy is very handsome with a cute boy next door aura. He usually look at her with gentle eyes that she doubted whether he is her brother or father in her past life.
He just graduated from the school a year before. He is retained as a teacher due to his excellence and contributions during his school days.
He was her friend before becoming a teacher and still is.
"Why are you here early?... Did Faust do something?" Jeremy asked knowingly.
Winter laughed and shrugged" you know our relationship,love and hate"
"He chased you out?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah"
Jeremy frowned displeased" he is not supposed to do that according to the rules!"
"According to the rules he can do that" Winter corrected.
Jeremy face twitched and weared a bitter smile. This girl is really enduring.
"You are right" Jeremy laughed trying to break the awkward silence.
Winter laughed along with him.
"I am surprised Josephina hasn't killed Faust yet. Like he steps on her toes several times and she doesn't take action, is she in love with him?"
"Am seriously suspecting that" Winter added.
Jeremy laughed along with her making the atmosphere cheery again.
"Um..Jeremy can you help me with this?" Winter walked up to Jeremy and presented him the kiss stealer id.
Jeremy examined it and nodded.
" But based on my expertise...you definitely stole this"
Jeremy looked up at Winter with a stern face about to scold.
Now she is very sure he is her relative in her former life!
She pouted and tug at his sleeve cutely, her watery eyes with a hint of red around the rim due the result of her secretly pinching herself looked up at
" I did and it is for a good reason" she said in a sugary voice making Jeremy face soften a bit.
"What reason?" He asked gently afraid of scaring her like earlier.
"The owner did something bad to me!" She lowered her face hiding her guilty eyes.
"What?" Jeremy asked serious as he cautiously checked her body.
"Um..?" Winter touched her nose.
Jeremy looked up at her with worry not minding the closeness between them. If she didn't know better she would think he was secretly in love with her.
"He didn't hurt me. Well actually he didn't do anything that bad"
Winter faced turned red and looked as if blood is about to drop as she remembered the kiss. This position is way to awkward for her.
"Then what?" Jeremy asked this time his hands off her body keeping his distance.
"He...."
Winter didn't feel like telling Jeremy. He is like a big brother to her and it feels weird to tell a 'brother' that a stranger kissed her.
"Just forget about it!" She tried to snatch the id but the man grip becomes tighter.
"Let me restore the information first"
Yes! He would always agree to her requests.
Jeremy closed his palm and his eyes. His palm covered with a red and green shimmery light covered the id. He muttered some words under his breath and some words appeared floating in the air before rushing back with speed into the id.
Jeremy opened his eyes
"Okay let me check"
Jeremy turned down and check the id.
His expression changed to shock but he quickly concealed it fast enough for Winter not to be able to read it.
"What is it?" Winter asked.
Jeremy handed her the id" I couldn't get it to unlock"
Winter looked at him suspiciously" are you sure?"
Jeremy chuckled"are you the magician here?"
"Fair enough" Winter shrugged.
"But still I saw some words floating maybe you should try it again it might work this time"
Winter suggested.
"Mm... no"
"What?"
"Don't get me wrong. It's not like I don't want to crack it, it's because the spell caster is stronger than me"
Jeremy explained.
"You are lying" Winter said becoming serious.
"Why did you say that?" Jeremy asked his voice a little high pitched.
"You are lying and I know for sure!"
"You know I will never lie to you"
It's true.
"Why are you lying?"
Winter stubbornly asked.
Jeremy looked nervous twisting his face like he was about to cry.
"Am not"
He squeaked out barely audible.
"Tell me the truth Jeremy, do you know this person?"
Winter grabbed his sleeve and tug at it a little harder than usual.
Jeremy looked like a volcano about to explode.
"Am not lying" he stuttered.
Winter opened her mouth to talk.
"What is going on here?"
Jeremy signed in relief patting his chest.
'when did she get this scary?'
Joseph asked confused walking up to the duo.
"What is going on here?" He asked again.
Winter separated herself from Jeremy and walked up to Joseph colly.
"Just playing around" She replied calmly.
Joseph looked back at forth between both of them.
"Doesn't look like playing to me"
"It is stop asking" Winter replied a little pissed.
Joseph didn't ask again knowing she would shut him out completely if he keeps on asking. She would tell him soon anyways.
"Why are you here?"
Winter asked praying Joseph didn't tell their mother about Faust behavior in class.
"I was also chased out of the class"
Joseph replied colly not acting according to script.
Winter"..?"
Jeremy"..?"
Jeremy mouth twitched heavily.
Seems like Josephina authority is declining.
