Elemental

Morgan and I returned to our dorm after eating our lunch. While we left, I noticed that Mrs. Elena and a group of teachers were gathered outside the gymnasium doors. By looking at their faces, I got the hint that something was wrong; perhaps didn't the rain welcome a new student? What might have happened that has Mrs. Elena in a troubled state?

Morgan goes into the bathroom and changes, and while I wait for her to finish, I get a stress call from my parents.

I love them both, but anytime they call me, I get annoyed and agitated after the discontinuation of their call.

The academy is against any student who has a phone or any gadget, is not allowed in the school, and will be severely disciplined. However, do they expect me to cut off any conversation with my parents until it's time for their visitation, or do I have to go back home?

"Mom, Daddy?". I moaned tiredly while talking with them on the phone. I also made sure that the room door was locked from the inside. I cannot bear anyone finding out about my phone; no one should find out except for Morgan, who also uses the same phone to get across her family, which seemed a little annoying and demanding by my parents, who want me to control my powers immediately so I could use them to save the entire world from harm. Do I look like Batman or Superman? Literally, Wonder Woman, they have and will be the only super heroes the world will need.

"Sonia, how are you, baby? Your mom and I called you last night; why didn't you pick up or call us back this morning? ..

Dad complained to me on the phone, and in the background, I could hear mom also venting out her anger.

I'm sorry, dad. I got extra lessons in school. Sorry!" I said I was holding my cheek while using the other hand to hold my phone.

"It's okay; I'm glad you picked it up. How have you been?" .

Dad settled the tension between us both and then asked.

"Fine; I've been surviving," I said to him, and he giggled afterwards.

"Surviving?, Then I'm happy; you're going to have to learn to control your powers, Sonia; don't forget what happened last time your powers were out of control.

Dad reminded me of what happened and the main reason why I was sent to the academy—to learn how not to create a mess with my powers.

"I remember, dad! I cannot forget."

I rolled my eyes, looking at myself in the mirror, a bit close to the door.

I saw that my hair was a bit unkept. I grabbed a comb and went ahead, and I was busy combing it while still talking to my parents.

Okay, dear, just take care; we will go now," Dad tells her. Goodbye, baby!" Mom yelled out so loudly that it was impossible not to hear her.

"Bye!!" I said to the both of them, and I immediately got the call disconnected.

Morgan I walked outside of the bathroom; she was keeping my hair properly and questioned me on the call.

"Was that your parents? She raised a question: Are you going to keep her towel in the wardrobe?

"Yeah! They sent their regards. I told her and stumped my feet to the bathroom door, about to go in, when Morgan called me back.

"Sonia! Can I please be sure of the phone? I want to also speak to my parents; I miss them a lot.

She said with a sad face on, as the color of her eyes changed from black to a bit of pinkish.

"Of course, Morgan, go and call your parents."

I pointed her to where I hid the phone; she went there and brought out the phone with a brightened face.

"Thanks" .

She goes and sits down on her bed, glancing through the contacts on the phone, which were only my parents and hers too.

I slammed the bathroom door and went ahead to freshen up. I removed my clothes from my body and strolled under the water from the shower.

I let my hair get wet, and I used the sponge to scrub through my skin. Afterward, I came out of the room; Morgan was already asleep, and she kept the phone at the side of her bed.

Letting it stay there would be dangerous for us both, and while I wiggled off the water from my hair, I used my other hand to take the phone and hide it at the place. It was taken from my

I cannot bear to have anyone know that I have a gadget. That is against the school's policies, like I had said, punishable by the school board, and might even leave me with expulsion. I do not get it. Why are there rules against the use of phones? It's a gadget, and it should be used everywhere we go.

I cannot ask anyone this question, but I hope our principal's daughter is also adhering to the rules and regulations set by her mother.

I shut the lights in the dorm and retried to bed. Although it's only five in the evening, the school has another rule that states that every student should be at their dorms immediately after classes and before seven in the evening.

This school has a lot of shitty rules, which I don't think make any sense. Why would there be rules against having phones, staying outside the curfew, which is too early, and also a zero-tolerance policy against parties in school as well?

No one is allowed to throw a party, except the ones thrown by the school, like the moonlight ball and Valentine; literally, any party held by the school is allowed, but anything aside from that is against the school, and if caught larking on any of the rules, the punishment is severe, and no one wishes to be used as a scapegoat for disobedience.
