Chapter 27: Chapter 27

“I love you too, Jacen. Iam too nervous to respond,” I blurted, turning red.

“Don’t be nervous. I can feel your hands trembling. Don’t be like that.” He kissed my forehead and hugged me close to his chest. Now I totally forgot about Cassie and her words. It’s only me and Jacen. Is he my boyfriend now?

“So, you are my boyfriend, right?” I childishly asked while hugging him.

“Yes, you are. You are mine, baby,” he whispered in my ear.

“Iam yours,” I responded, smiling.

“You don’t know how much Iam obsessed with you since I met you,” I said after breaking the hug.

“You don’t know how much I admired you. I wanted you badly. That’s why I wrote an application form for you by myself and you got selected within days,” he said, shocking me again.

“What? It’s you. Oh god, I didn’t even think of it.” I laughed, thinking how he did this for me and didn’t even tell me.

“Yeah, Iam so happy right now. I want to make out with me but we are in a class. So at least let me kiss you.” he pulled me closer to him and kissed me. He kissed softly at first and then we kissed hard and passionately without caring about whether someone passed the corridor watching us.

It’s only me and Jacen in this whole damn world.

QUIZ Class:

“You all know there are seven cities in Oodren country. They are Slateville, Ravewood, Grandevail, Klarichso, harters, Postsque, Dodgevieve. In the next class, there will be a quiz test about Ravewood city. So, I already have chosen your pairs. There will be only three members in a group and see the board and know your group and competing group,” the professor said, pointing his hands at a board in the wall.

I studied hard for this class. It’s hard to know all the history topics and years. Everyone approached the board and noted their pairs. I wish to have some good pairs in this class. I hope it won’t be Cassie. Jacen and Noah aren’t interested in Quiz class so Iam all alone, at least I have Leona.

“I will see the board,” Leona told me and vanished from my sight. She doesn’t need to use her vampire speed every time, but anyway, I don’t need to get up from my class.

She returned after a few minutes, looking frustrated.

“Who’s my pair?”

“It’s me, you and a boy named Issac.,” she said angrily and took her book to read.

“That’s it. Who’re our competitors?” I asked her. This test is not a written test. The three members in a group should stand opposed to our other three competitors and when the question is asked, we should answer it by clicking the buzzer before our competitors do. I guess there’s no need to explain it. I heard it’s a common quiz in the human world. Expect, here it will be somewhat different, which I will know when I play it.

“Start reading cause our competitor is....” she trailed off when someone stood in front of our desk.

“It’s me again,” Cassie smirked. But my eyes settled on a girl next to her.

“You...” I muttered.

“You... you are the one who stole my boyfriend,” she said. Cassie’s friend is Jacen’s ex. Like attracts like. Bitch attracts another bitch.

“Don’t forget that you are the one who dumped him,” I stood up from my table, facing her.

“What’s going on here, Bianca? Do you know her?” Cassie interrupted her. Bitch name is Bianca.

“Yeah. I know her. I got more things to talk about her, Princess,” Bianca said, folding her arms.

“Whatever you want to say, go somewhere away from us. I don’t want some toxic people near us.” Leona jumped into the conversation.

“Fine with me. Who wants to be around you?” Cassie said and turned away. Bianca and some other boy followed her.

“Forget about it. We got more to read. They can only talk, they are nothing when it comes to tests,” Leona simply said, and we seated again in our three seated benches.

“I guess the fight is over. Can I join you?” I heard some unfamiliar voice next to me.

“Iam Issac. Issac Ryan,” A boy introduced himself, taking a seat next to me. He’s dressed in a black uniform, black hair, and beard. He looks older than us.

“Iam Sydney Marin and she’s Leona Lewis. You can tell our species from our uniform. So, what about you?” I asked, seeing his black uniform.

“A warlock. A third-year student, but you can call me Issac,” he smiled charmingly, brushing his fallen hair on his forehead.

“Okay, Issac. Iam happy to have you in our group but I have a doubt. You are a third-year student, then why are you...” I trailed off when he explained the reason before I finish my question.

“Well, all first-year students need to have a third-year student as a pair in this class. Let’s not waste our time. Start reading. I will help you to score good,” he ordered.

“Hmm... fine with me.” After the class got over. I still don’t feel like I read enough for the test. I will spend all my time reading just to beat Cassie and Bianca.

“I want to go to the library to get some extra books. Who’s coming?” I asked both of them when we were out of the class.

“I guess I won’t. I have other work. Bye, Sydney. Bye, Brother Warlock,” Leona waved at us and vanished in a fraction of seconds.

“I told her not to call me like that. Seriously, Brother warlock is the worst name I ever got,” Issac complained.

“Leave it. Will you come with me to the library? Just for an hour,”

“Sure,” he nodded, and we both made our way to the library. I spotted Mary at the entrance. I met Mary when I went to purchase books for this Academy. I still remember her.

“Hi, Mrs Mary,” I approached her, hoping she will remember me. But she adjusted her specs and looked at me with a wide-opened mouth.

“Um... You are Mrs Mary right,” I asked doubtfully.

“Yes, Iam. You are....” she hesitated.

“Iam Sydney,” Iam stupid to think that she will remember every student who came to purchase books in her store.

“Yeah, I remember.” She lied.

“No, you don’t,” I muttered

“Go inside. Take only school-related books. Reading storybooks are not allowed.” She added.

“Storybooks...” Issac muttered.

“Okay sure,” I grabbed Issac’s hands and went inside. I have never seen a library before. But this academy library is much bigger than I thought. It kept on going with twists and turns. After half an hour of searching, I got nothing related to ravewood city while Issac is reading a book that is not related to Ravewood.

“Hey, what are you doing? You are supposed to help me.” I shouted. I leaped and snatched the book from him. I can’t even reach his height. Maybe Iam short.

“That’s a good one. I need to read it. Searching for a book for the test is your responsibility. I already attended many tests like this.” he proudly announced.

“Brother Warlock Issac. Please help me for this one time,” I pleaded with him and looked at the book. ‘The original Warlock biography ‘

“Fine. Fine. I will do it but don’t call me like that.” he said getting annoyed. I walked away from him to another bookshelf and leaned on it feeling tired. Iam tired of searching for it.

Suddenly Iam unaware of what’s happening to the place. I was leaning on the bookshelf for a second and the next moment, my head hit harder on the floor. I kept both of my hands on my head in pain. I can’t bear the pain. My eyes are half open and I noticed Iam no longer in the library but in some secret room.
