Medusa's Trial

Chapter 4

It felt like my body started to freeze as I stared at the two people I hope would leave me alone, or at least I'm also scolding myself for not ignoring them and just continuing on my way.

"What do you want?" I hissed, pouring water into a glass for myself.

"My names Charles and Theo says she doesn't have your name." they guy smiled, sitting down on an open chair.

So he is the one that Theo went to on the bus, he does look somewhat annoying.

"I'm sorry, I just realised that I never got your name." she blushed, sitting down next to Charles.

"Is that what you want?" I sigh, taking another bite of my meal.

"What do you mean?" Charles mumbled, staring straight at my food.

"If I give you my name, will you leave me alone?" I smiled sweetly at them

When he burst out laughing it felt like everyone's eyes in the restaurants were on us, Theo excused herself to go and grab a bite to eat. I patiently drank my water as I waited for him to finish laughing, it was a strange pleasant sound. When he finally calmed down and looked at me I could see relief in is eyes, what a strange feeling to have when your competing with words.

"I can assure you it will be quite hard to get rid of me at this stage, I have taken a liking at your personality." he smirked, leaning back against the chair as he made himself more comfortable.

"That will be bothersome, I don't like people who irritate me." I sigh, taking a bite from my food.

"Can I ask you something important?" he spoke lowly, his voice as low as a whisper.

"You can ask me anything, it just depends on whether I want to answer it or not." I shrugged, curiosity started creeping at the back of my mind.

"Did it feel like you were almost like hypnotized by Madam Pha this morning?"

I looked into his eyes as I chewed my food, taking my time to go over what happened since I climbed off the bus and about what I thought of Madam Pha. She was a strange character for me, almost surreal like. It felt like she demanded the attention of the room and if it was not give...a shudder ran down my spine as I thought of what she could do. A part of me also despised her for some reason, it felt like meeting an old friend that you never wanted to meet in the first place.

"I was not in love with her like you fools." I smirked, taking a sip of my water.

"That's what I was telling Theo, even she doesn't understand what I'm trying to explain. It feels like I'm having some sort of withdrawal from not seeing her." he grumbles.

"Then eat this, it will take her from your mind for the time being..." I hissed and filled his mouth full of spaghetti "...the name is Madeleine by the way." I smiled, giving him a salute and left.

Some sort of drug? Is it possible for a womans perfume to attract people to her, it wasn't just this Charles guy but it seems like most of the students that were attending today. I took out my phone as I typed in the following in my notes.

Name : Rodite Pha

Gender: Female

Age : 35?

Danger lever : 3?

- Very beautiful and believe to have a strange smell that can attract people to her, it also leaves them with a withdrawal feeling when she has left then.

- Seems to be very dominant and prefer all eyes on her.

-Seems to be always right, doesn't like to be proven wrong.

-Might teach either modeling or counseling.

Now that I think about it, I really do hope that she's teaching modeling because I think I might be taking a class this semester on counseling and I really don't want to be in her class.

Why on earth am I getting into trouble the day before class even starts?

No wonder my Aunt didn't want me to leave and study so far away, I might just age her faster with worry now that I think about it.

I didn't even notice a quarrel as I rounded the corner on my way back as I was think hard about my aunt, my body just stopped as I heard something being slapped hard. Looking up from my phone I stared with large eyes at a woman storming off in the opposite direction, leaving behind a man who was straightening himself. He was really tall and dressed nicely, he wore a dark buttoned shirt with the cuffs rolled up and black pants. It looks like black leather shoes that was rubbed to show ones reflection and a fancy black watch was added to finish off the look, they way he dressed showed of that he took care of excercise as the shirt hugged almost hugged every inch of his upper body. He combed his fingers through his tussle black hair, trying to get them back into place. His skin was a nice shade of white, not a colour that can be associated with being sick but rather it was a colour that hasn't really seen the sun.

My heart ached as I watched the man rub his cheek before turning towards me, lifting his head to catch me staring at him.

I was rather glad that I taught myself to keep a stone cold face, because I'm sure I would have drool like a school girl when those midnight eyes stared into mine. He has very strong and prominent features in his face, his lips were stretched into a thin line when he finally sigh and made his way to me.

Nope this is not happening!

One drama a day is enough for me thank you!

I forced my head down as I started walking to the side as I hoped to pass him silently, maybe he might think that I just ended up here by mistake and would let me go. The sound of his footsteps made my heart beat in rhythm, it felt almost like excitement that was boiling inside of me. Every inch of my hair stood up as we got closer to each other, holding my breath I closed my eyes briefly as I was about to pass him when my arm was caught in a tight grip. I pulled in a breath as I looked up into those eyes, my heart raced as it felt like seconds turning into minutes while I waited for him to say something.

"I don't believe I have seen you before on this campus." he stated, not once taking his eyes off me.

"I just got here today." I squeaked, cringing at the sound of my voice.

A small smile touched his lips before it disappeared again, he freed my arm and took a step back to give me room to breath.

"Welcome to H.P.Z Olympus University, you will truly have a bright future ahead of you. Enjoy your day further." he nodded his head before walking away.

It felt like a stiff and somewhat forced greeting, shaking my head I opened my phone again and headed to where I typed in Madam Pha's information.

Name : Unkown

Gender: Male

Age : 40?

Danger lever : 10 +

- Very handsome and somewhat charming, can seduce a woman without meaning too.

- Seems to be in a relationship that is rocky, got slapped real hard and might be a player so sta CLEAR!

Closing my phone I headed to my dorm hoping that I did remember to bring those headache pills, this really is a day I would rather not remember at all if possible or maybe I was really not that significant to remember at all and will have a peaceful class tomorrow. I had actually hope that college life would rather be more boring than the movies I have watch, maybe just maybe it will be better starting tomorrow and I will finish this studies without any problems. I smiled as I day dreamt about my future and how good it will be once I leave this place.
