Chapter 02: The suspense

I was getting ready for the day, Yuki recognized my dull mood and asked "What's up with you, had a nightmare?" "No, just thinking about yesterday, how the teacher didn't expect that behavior from me."

Yuki laughed and said, "Dummy, just go and apologize, she will forgive you and tadaaa! You'll be happy again"

Suddenly a bell ringed in my head that if I would apologize to my homeroom teacher for my behavior, she would let it go because it's probably my first time being caught. The thing here that confused me was why didn't this idea come up in my brain, maybe because I was focusing on the problem more than finding a solution. I learned a thing that we should be calm when having problems so that we can focus on the solution rather than tangling ourselves with problems.

Since I got the solution I ran to Yuki and gave her a tight hug and we headed towards our classes. I found time and apologized to our teacher as we discussed and she forgave as we thought. But Bema was punished, and her punishment wasn't decided yet or maybe no one knew about it.

It felt like everything was back to normal, but I had a bad feeling that something was about to happen.

Just then our principal came excitedly saying that he has good news! I don't know whenever I see our principal he gives me creeps like demonic vibes. There were also rumors that he had some connections with the devils. But demons aren't real! They are just our imagination. He seems to be so sweet, that proves the rumors ARE rumors.

All the students uprighted and welcomed the principal.

"We have a new program where we will send a few students from our school for a time being of a year as exchange students to devildom" he continued "But the thing is that we have decided prior which students are going."

Yuki turns to me in a delighted and jittery way. It seemed that she wanted to go there. Though the name devildom was suspicious. Like why will people keep the school's name devil-dom? I laughed quietly as I thought.

I shifted my focus back from my daydream to what the principal was saying. "As this is the very first year devildom accepting exchange students we are only sending 3 students for time being, The names of the students will be put up on the school board today before the school ends. Thank You so much students for your attention. Have a good day." The principal left the classroom with a cheerful smile.

Yuki turned to me with a sad and dejected look. "What happened? You were so excited now" I asked.

"Akariiiii… There is nearly a 0.001% chance we will be selected. I want to go there but our school has so many kids, we don't stand a chance to go" Yuki replied with a sad tone like someone teared up her heart.

I didn't know how to console her because even I was confused and suppressed by the excitement and hesitation. Maybe I'm also overeating or going through anxiety. I didn't want to go there but I was feeling like I'm being attracted.

The day passed with hesitation, I couldn't focus on anything. It was like a teacher came and said something and the second teacher came and said something. Oh god, maybe I'm going mad. This suspense was hard to deal with.

The moment the last bell rang Yuki and I held hands and ran as fast as we could but still, we were late, there was a huge line, but surprisingly they all were turning around with sad faces the moment they looked on the sheet. After 10 minutes, yes the line was so long, the moment of truth arrived but before seeing the sheet I saw Bema smirking just beside the sheet, it looked like she already knew the names. But instead of wasting our time more, I decided to look at the sheet.

Suddenly Yuki shouted, Oh...no.
