Mrs Belle Griffin (Luna Belle) summoned all students and staff for a brief announcement. We were to have it in the hall, and I had planned to sneak out when Nova and Alice grabbed my arms and led me to the front of the hall.

It was promised to be a quick meeting, and so there was no provision of chairs.

Everyone could see us, and my friends wanted to grasp every information released. I mentally groaned and stood with

them.

My zeroed on the Hybrids standing near the door. Eros was standing there with the rest of them, looking bored. He is so gorgeous, and breathtaking… oh. I miss staking my fingers in those silky messy hair.

Then my eyes landed on Susie, who was standing next to him. She looked at me with a small smile playing on her lips. With a triumphant look, she wrapped her arms around one of his, and rested her head on his broad shoulder.

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to look away.

I wish I could stop loving him, even hate him.

Would the moon goddess give n

me another mate? What if I fail in having Eros?

I tried to think of something else. I was slowly returning back to my shell.

My eyes fell on Adams who gave me a sympathetic look.

I took a deep breath and gave him a big smile. He smiled back, looking some how relieved.

I felt a strong pull, and my eyes are suddenly drawn back to where the Hybrids are standing.

Eros is staring fiercely back, his gaze moving to Adams and then me. His jaw clenched tightly. I could feel his anger from

here.

Susie leaned close to his ear and whispered something. I have to admit, they both stunningly beautiful. They look good. together.

The thought was like a dagger to my heart. I turned to look away,

“Eden“” Tom called, smiling and making his way to me. “Can I stay with you?”

“Uhm, yeah” I answered. Nova and Alice simply concentrated to what Mrs Belle Grittin was saying. I looked around again and wondered why her daughter, Luna Lyra wasn’t around.

Well maybe it’s Luna thing

“Thanks Tom smiled and stood too close to me. Our skins were practically touching- almost like he caged me with the wall I could wiggle away without drawing more attention than already an

It felt like all eyes were staring at me than at her, like everybody was waiting in anticipation for something to happen.

Like they were hungry for fights, and blood.

All the Hybrids were looking at me. Arthur was staring at me broodingly as well. What’s his problem?

I tore my eyes away from Eros, and his friends. Everybody is the hall wasn’t looking too happy. What is their problem?? If looks could kill, I would be long gone.

I felt Nova’s hand tighten around mine encouragingly.

“Uhm, everybody is staring at us. You are the real Queen of Mystic academy, Tom whispered close to my ear.

1 shook my head. “I’m not. The Queen; Lyra is simply not around.”

“A True Queen is a beautiful woman with good morals, and not some b’itchy girl.” He said, earning a tiny smile from me

I peeked at Eros and his friends, just then I heard Arthur saying something heatedly to Eros, who looked even more livid. A few seconds later Eros took off, and Susie ran after him immediately.

I felt sick and furious. It was like my heart was breaking into pieces. The stares were suffocating, and it felt the crowd was closing in on me.

My resolve was slowly tearing apart.

“Please, Excuse me, I murmured, walking away.

Alice and Nova’s eyes widened in surprise, their face slowly contouring into worry.

“Are you okay?” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are you going?”

“You’re not waiting till the end?” Tom asked too.

“I just need to use the washroom,” I replied, trying to look calm was glad that my friends aren’t pushy but understanding.

As I made my way through the crowd, I felt all eyes following me. They were following me everywhere.

Oh heavens, take me to those days when I was unpopular. Arrgh

I entered the restroom, and cried my eyes out. Everything hurts so much. I was loosing Eros….

After a while, I washed my face and stared at my red eyes. One would think that I should be used to some levels of pain- but no, Eros and I hadn’t even slept with each other yet it hurts this much..

Oh help me, moon goddess. Help me to be strong and make the right decisions.

I splashed some cold water on my face, and patted it dry to a towel. I sighed deeply, and straightened my shoulders before walking out of the washroom.

The hallway was almost deserted, except the Hybrids who were standing at the end of the hallway. I figured that the meeting

had ended.

I felt at peace knowing that despise I was avoiding them, they still hung around subity to show that they cared.

Anyways, I had been such a coward, but I think its high time I stop running. Arthur, Beauty and Adonis never hurt me. They were still my friends whether I liked it or not.

I looked at the figures staring at me, and was happy that Eros and Susie wasn’t with them.

As soon as I got to them, they simply stared at me blankly.

Arthur particularly, looked furious. He closed the distance between us with a couple of steps, and grabbed my shoulders.

e away.

“So now you decide to come back to us?” He growled close to my ear, and then pushed me

“Why don’t you just go back to your shell, or better still that Vampire,” he said, walking away angrily, sounding almost like he was jealous.

I stared at his retreating figure in shock.. and hurt.

Arthur maybe a trouble maker, mischievous, but always in a playful, and harmless way. Sometimes, he’s even affectionate like when he visited some days back.

He has never be mean or unkind to me. It hurts to have him talk to me that way.

“What’s his problem?” I scowled at his retreating figure. Then I turned to look at Adonis who wasn’t looking very friendly

either.

Fine! Y’all should be that way- and to think I came to make peace with them.
