Abra-what the hell-cadabra p2

"You two...Are you going to keep arguing?" Luciel said glancing back and forth at Lucius and Aroon, the two were sitting away from each other, both Angry at one another.

"All I said is We should postpone the wedding." Aroon said.

"Why are you doing this?!" Lucius cried out in despair, "These are supposed to be some of the best days of our lives yet here you are ruining everything with your paranoia!" He added.

"I'M RUINING EVERYTHING?!" Aroon shouted, "You know what Lucius?!" Aroon said standing-up, "Maybe we aren't meant to be after all!" He said.

"Aroon, mind your words!" Luciel said.

Ignoring Luciel, Aroon started walking towards the door, but Lucius followed him.

"Where you going?!" Lucius asked grabbing Aroon's arm, "LET ME GO!" Aroon yelled and yanked Lucius's hand away almost immediately.

"Aroon...baby please you know how much I hate getting into arguments, especially with you...I just want us to be happy." Lucius said before bursting into tears.

Feeling guilty, Aroon decided to calm down.

He took a deep breath, "Hey...Lu." Aroon said before he wrapped his arms around Lucius who cried even louder when Aroon hugged him.

"I'm sorry...I guess I went overboard." Aroon said while tightening his embrace around Lucius.

Coming their way, "Aroon, Lucius." Luciel called Their Names.

"Don't let go of each other, trust me.

Be honest and kind to each other, or you'll end-up resenting each other and doing some stupid shite." Luciel said.

When Lucius began calming down, Aroon broke their hug, and Lucius's eyes met with his.

"Aroon, I love you...i want to begin this year by being your husband." Lucius said with years still glistening in his eyes.

Sighing, "Me too...i'm sorry for everything I said earlier, I didn't mean it to heart...there's no way we're not meant for each other." Aroon replied kissing Lucius's forehead.

"That's what I like to hear...I'm proud of the both of you." Luciel spoke smiling, "Now, let's go back and talk more calmly about this wedding issue." He added.

...Meanwhile...

By now, walking side by side, it was just Socorro and Norma, As Lady Orange has retreated to her office earlier and left Socorro in Norma's care.

"I should seriously go back now." Socorro said.

"Don't worry! I can take you back myself, but for the records, you do have to keep your knowledge about 'Ladiesworth' academy and about me a secret." Norma replied.

"I know, Lady Orange told me the same when she brought me here, she said I can only tell my mate and my boss if I trust them enough." Socorro said.

"It's important to protect the academy, it's an obligation that falls on everyone's shoulders, from students to employees.

I'm surprised you got a tour before even becoming student, it almost never happens." Norma replied.

"Then why did Lady Orange agreed to give me a tour?" Socorro asked.

"Lady Orange has a thing for collecting genius students and creating an efficient work force...despite her Funny personality, she is competitive and perfectionist." Norma explained.

"Doesn't she remind you of someone?" Socorro asked, "How exactly?" Norma questioned.

"Doesn't she look like someone we know?"

"If you mean Matilda, then yeah they do resemble each other but Lady Orange doesn't speak of personal matters.

So if you're asking if the two are related, I can't answer that because I don't know and I think it's inappropriate to tell you, even if I knew the answer." Norma replied.

"Ah...Yeah, you're right." Socorro said feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Oh! Btw! You came through a portal, Am I right?" Norma asked, "Yeah, I did." Socorro replied.

"Was it in Valentino's hospital that you found the portal?" Norma asked, "Yeah! I was surprised actually...Lady Orange said that the teleportation system is quite tricky." Socorro replied.

"Socorro, Did lady Orange also tell you that while you're currently here in the academy, you're not actually in our world anymore, but in another dimension of its own." Norma said confusing Socorro.

"If I am understanding your words correctly, you're telling me that the academy exist in another world? like we're in another dimension right now?" Socorro questioned.

"Exactly, we're in a different world, that's what she meant by tricky.

You see the academy's teleportation system, was made in the first place because most of our students don't come from this world.

There are just so many dimensions out There, universes and worlds of their own, and lots of these worlds have names of Their own, but we here at the academy, classify these worlds using numbers.

For example the world you and I come from currently, is classified as 'World 19'...is this understandable so far Socorro?" Norma said asking.

"I suppose yes...But i do have more questions.

If this academy is built in an entirely different world, is it also classified? and if so, does only this Academy exist in this world or is there more to it?" Socorro asked.

"This world that 'Ladiesworth' is built in is not classified, because we only classify words that people who study here come from.

Outside the academy walls there is no place for ordinary life, no cities or a population, even employees come from different worlds as well.

But the academy is not the only thing that exists in this world, there is actually other schools and academies with different systems and structures, all coexisting in this world.

So basically you can think of this dimension, to be serving one purpose and it's education, not for living." Norma explained.

"So in this dimension there's several schools and academies but that's it?" Socorro said earning a nod from Norma.

"Yes exactly! Anyways, I hope you do consider Lady Orange's offer, I mean look at me for an example.

I was lost last year, I felt underrated and couldn't find proper work, I'm a beginner actress with no one to have my back.

Then Lady Orange offered me this job, and Madame Shanice encouraged me to take it.

And now, I feel like I have something else worth living for...I never expected myself to have a hidden love for teaching." Norma said.

Raising an eyebrow, "You mentioned madame Shanice, the woman who wrote those letters." Socorro pointed out.

"Yes, madame Shanice and I were acquainted long ago, recently before her passing, she was looking for someone that she could entrust her shop to." Norma said, "You were aware that she was A ghost?" Socorro asked.

"Yes, I was aware of many things...just like how Matilda would be perfect to take over the shop." Norma replied.

"You're full of surprises, Kimberly."

"I think this is the first time you've called me 'Kimberly', Socorro."

"Do you only go by 'Norma Kelly ' in this world?"

"Yes, everyone here uses that name, and I hope I don't sound rude but I'd hope you continue using it as well."

"As you wish, Norma.

I'm sorry for all the trouble my relationship with Matilda has caused you btw." Socorro said, "It's okay, I wish you two the best...to be honest I'm jealous of you, you have a mate...

I wish I can have a mate." Norma replied.

Suddenly, "I wanna ask, Do you have a crush on Matilda?" Socorro asked, "I do, I hope that doesn't bother you.

I also hope the rumors about me having a girlfriend that started when the paparazzi took picture of Matilda with me, don't bother you either." Norma said.

"It doesn't...To be honest, I'm jealous of you too." Socorro said chuckling.

"Why?" Norma asked, "First, you're A Superstar Norma, I think anybody would be jealous of that! even if you don't get the best roles and gigs...Every role you took, you nailed it! And I really hope that you continue working with us on the movie project.

I understand Mallory is becoming an obstacle, but I believe she too can be brilliant and maybe she needs guidance, from you.

And second, I'm jealous because the truth is Matilda deserves someone like you, instead of someone like me...You have a kind good heart And everytime you smile, you make people feel at ease." Socorro said.

"You are also kind Socorro, only a kind person with a good heart, can say the words you just said." Norma replied smiling.

"I should give some credit to Lady Orange! setting us up to meet, it did work a little in convincing me.

Before you showed-up, I was sure I was going to refuse her offer, but now I'm having second thoughts." Socorro said.

"Then you should talk to Matilda and your boss about it! don't worry about the movie project, there's lots of people working on it, you shouldn't carry the whole project on your shoulders!

No one is going to blame you, if you took this year off and focused on building yourself up.

Like I said, this sort of opportunities could come handy in the future, I graduated when I was 14! but only years after that I became an employee here because I needed something to do.

I never thought I'd get here, but I'm glad I had my Diploma." Norma replied.

"I'll think about it more seriously now." Socorro said, "I bet that if you come to work here someday, you'll probably be selected as a professor too!" Norma said excitedly.

"Speaking of that! what do you teach exactly Norma?"

"Magical artwork, It's a class were we combine art and Magic together.

Also I'm the sponsor and advisory teacher of the drama club for after school activities."

Unintentionally, "How fitting, no wonder you attended his majesty Muriel's Art academy, back in Derora's kingdom." Socorro replied loud enough for Norma to hear her.

"What do you mean by that? I never attended that academy, all of my training happened in our world, the '19'." Norma asked.

"Oh, I didn't mean anything...wait?" Socorro said Confused, "Hold on Norma, are you insinuating that you know the academy I'm referring to?" She added asking.

"Umm, yes! Muriel's art academy, in Derora's kingdom! I Know about it...The world where Derora's kingdom is located in, is classified as 'World 7'

During this Halloween, I was Approached by a couple of students who originally come from Derora.

They told me about this old unsolved murder case from their world, they mentioned it to me because I share a name with the victim, Norma Kelly, which is a very creepy coincidence.

They said that She lived in their kingdom many years ago, and apparently was a knight who quit her post to attend that academy you talked about, because she was an aspiring 'would-be' actress, only to get murdered shortly after attending the academy.

Her unsolved death was like the equivalent of the 'Bronze Dahlia' murder case in our world, and I was very much spooked by the story but I didn't think about it for long, since it was Halloween, I assumed the students were just messing with me.

*Chuckling* Everyone likes to mess with the new teachers, especially ones like me...I'm not that strict." Norma explained.

Overwhelmed by what she just heard, Socorro knees buckled beneath her, "Oh my god...help me I think I'm going to fall!" Socorro cried out and Norma immediately helped her to keep standing.

"Are you okay? You seem shocked!" Norma asked, "I'm fine...I just need to calm down a bit, this is too much for me already." Socorro replied.

After taking few deep breaths to calm herself, Socorro regained heey balance and stood up without Norma's help, "Are you sure you're fine? maybe we should pass by the nurse's office, have you quickly examined?

Or if you feel uncomfortable, we can go back right now to the hospital, and ask Ned to check on you." Norma suggested.

"No, I'm fine really! I just need you to guide me to Lady Orange's office, I gotta ask her something." Socorro replied.
