The Aces

C H A P T E R 11

Having this b***h in my class is so freaking annoying, uncomfortable and irritable. Why is she here? In my freaking class. This will be the whole year full of negativity and nuisance. I just can’t understand why is she here in the Maple Class KNOWING that she destroyed buildings last school year. I can’t deal with her since then till now.

Its actually our 2 hours break time now. They are all inside the room while I sit here in the bench near our room. I am looking at the plants and animals sleeping, so there is no one that I can talk to. I am in the deep thought of what our teacher said earlier when someone tap my back.

“Hi. You are Zel,right?” she asked me then smiled at me. She’s the new student and I can say that she’s really nice and has a wonderful aura.

“Yes,I am Zel. Mel,right?” I asked just to make sure.

She nodded then smile. I tap the space beside me and she happily took her seat.

“Are you good,Zel?” she asked me out of the blue. I don’t know if I can trust her and if I can count on her.

“I am good.” I said then smile.

“Its okay. Things takes time but do not dwell on what you feel,okay. It is not good for us to dwell on something negative. It only gives us burden.” She said in one breathing. She really is nice. Her words are touching my heart but I still can’t figure out if I can trust her. Maybe its her one of her fronts.

I smile then nod. She tap my shoulder and said, “You can get through it.” Then flash a genuine smile.

“Oh anyway, you have your own ability right?” She asked. I find it strange.

“Why though?’

“Well, I haven’t figure out what’s mine.”she said then blurted a heavy sigh. “I don’t know how to get one.”

“FOR REAL,MEL?” I asked with a really loud voice. How can she enter this Class if she doesn’t have an ability?

“Quiet down,please. Except for Kim, you’re the second person to know this.” she said then look up to the pinkish sky.

“Sorry.” I said.

She tap my back. A sign that it is okay.

“How did you manage to get one ,Zel?” She asked. “I’m really nervous on what to show to Mr.Diev since I do not know what is my ability.”

“Well, the pedagogues said that your ability reflects on what and who you are as a person. Example is me, I like plants and animals that is why I can hear them and can talk to them,” I said to comfort her.

“Then what and who am I?” she asked while pointing herself. I can feel her agony on not knowing yourself.

“I had a lot of unanswered questions that needs to be answered.” she blurted.

“Then maybe your ability is to seek? Because you like to seek things or answers to your problem. It is quiet a unique ability though.” I said then tap her. “Knowing your abilities takes a lot of time. Just relax and it will definitely come out. “ I continued.

“Thanks,Zel. You’ll improve too.” She said then stand up.”Do you want to play with us?” She asked pointing the room. Seeing the persons inside the room makes me sick.

“I’m fine here,Mel.” I said.

“Okay. Thank you again.” she said then left.

Mel is beautiful and wonderful. I didn’t know she observed me earlier. Am I that obvious or she has a high observation skills, OR THAT IS HER ABILITY? I stood up with my last thought.

I looked up and saw the leaves fall.

“Time flies so fast. Its already Fall.” We had 5 seasons here in the Realm. Summer,Winter,Spring Fall and Dark. I season I hate the most is the Dark season. Black Bloods are everywhere and I hate the fact that they can go into the Realm every dark season. This season lasts for like 2-3 months and all the White bloods are being kept inside the dorms. Once the White Blood goes out, Black bloods can take them if they can’t fight them back. That season is really scary. I want to know the reality behind this.

“Are you enjoying the Fall?” His voice is familiar and I shouldn’t look at him but my stupid eyes has her own mind. I feel so betrayed!

“No.” I answered coldly.

“Its good to enjoy the fall,though.” he said then look up.

His Adam’s apple is moving giving him the hottest sight as of the moment.

I erased what I thought,who knows maybe Kimuel might popped up out of nowhere.

“If you come here to enjoy the falling of leaves, then I’m off now.” I said then started to get my things but he hold my wrist and said,

“Don’t go.” He said. I don’t know if its only for this time or our pass.

I look at his eyes and it speaks for everything. I think I know the answer.

“What a beautiful sight to look at.” she said then claps slowly.

“scene breaker!” I thought but I heard Nine laugh a little.

“You’re still adorable, Hon.” he said and this gives my heart beats faster.

“Aw Ash, look at them. They look so cute.” She said then laugh. Her laugh gives a lot of pressures in my veins.

I look at her,she smirked and left.

“Don’t mind her.” Nine said. I look at his hand still holding my wrist and said,”Let me go,please.” then he let it go.

“Actually I came here not to disturb you. I can here because I decided to move on and make a new memory with everyone. I let you go now,Zel. Its maybe our fate to not be together until the end. I wish you happiness, contentment and I am sorry if I didn’t gave you everything that I promised when we were together. Be happy,Zellaine. This will be my last conversation for you as someone who loves you beyond friendship. Let’s not be awkward with each other soon. Good bye, Zellaine.” then he left.

His words are like knife. I feel so heavy right now. I wanted to take my absent but Maple Class are not allowed to take a leave. This s my fault for not being considerate for his feelings. A tear escaped my eyes and said while laughing weakly,”Regret can be really seen in the end.”

Its my fault for feeling this though. If I hadn’t push him away.

I went to the Bathroom and cry really hard. “I hate myself” is the my words for today.
