Chapter 16
*woosh*
The wind was blowing gently hitting Josefina's hair gently making it flip back
She was so quiet, very into her reading
I quietly stared at her
As i was walking to her
She noticed someone standing infront of her
She looked up and saw me looking at her intently
I smiled gently
since the first impression I gave her wasn't that good
*blush*
What?!
She blushed?
Her face flushed red after seeing me
She quickly closed her book
Stood up and starts to walk away
Is she trying to escape?
As she was about to run away from me
I quickly run to her and reached for her hand and finally caught her arm
"Wait! I need to tell you something!" I shouted
She turned her head and looked at me
Her face went back to her normal scary face
I got the chills but i calmed myself down and said
"I'm sorry about yesterday"
She was confused as if she did not know what was happening
I let go of her arm and explained everything
I explained my actions towards her
She nodded in understanding
I noticed that Josefina is not much of a talker
Just like in the novel
I wanted to know what she was reading
So i sat down on the grass where she sat down previously and patted the ground signalling to sit with me
She was surprised but she still sat down beside me
I asked her about her book
She nodded excitedly with sparkling eyes
Both of us were so into it that we didn't noticed the setting sun
"Oh, the sun has set" Josefina said
Today Josefina talked a lot, she enjoyed the book and so do i
We both waved goodbye and decided to meet tomorrow at the same place
Josefina was really happy to have someone who has the same tastes in books
So she kept on talking and i was happy
I arrived at the dorm
I see someone standing right infront of my door
It was cockroach! I never noticed him going away
As i step closer his face was dark
What is he thinking?
"Athy."
He called me in a very serious tone
"What is it? You look very serious" i asked
"You do know that Josefina is the one who holds the Light magic right?" He asked
"Yes, i am well aware" i answered back
*sigh* he sighed heavily
"Why?" I asked
He furrowed his brows even more
"She has the power of light and you have the magic of darkness those 2 magic can go completely wrong"
....
There was silence
"Answer my question" i asked seriously
He looked at me
"Athy does not have any magic it was never mentioned in the novel, i asked the professor about obtaining magic and noticed you had gone quiet"
He was still silent
"So tell me how did Athy obtain magic?"
He looked away and was refusing to answer
So i asked again
"Tell me how did Athanasia Zen les Acrez obtain dark magic, Cosmo?"
He looked at me
His face showed it all, he was stunned
"How'd you know my name?" He asked
"Sssshhhh someone might hear us!" I whispered
"You don't have to worry i blocked us using magic, so no one could hear us" he answered confidently
"Now tell me how did you know my name?" He asked again
"I asked you first, so answer me first!" I said desperately
"The information i hold is more important, so answer me first and then i'll answer yours" he said in a confident tone
He's right
He knows something that i don't
*sigh* i sighed very deeply
"you're annoying"
"Thank you" he answered
Tch!
"you told me that i'll know your name once the time is right, last night i dream about someone telling me you're name"
....
He went silent
"Don't tell me you forgot what you said?"
"I didn't forget i just wasn't expecting it to be this soon"
Answering while touching his chin and biting his lip while his brows were furrowed
....
What is he thinking?
Does he know the person who told me?
In my dream the person who told me feels strangely familiar
I'll think of that another time
"So Cosmo, answer me"
I caught his attention he stopped biting his lip and turned his head to look at me
"How did Athy have the dark magic?" I asked hopefully to get the answer today
....
He went silent yet again
He tapped his foot and while holding his waist and looking down
He slowly looked up and smirked
"I won't tell you" he answered annoyingly
*poof!*
He disappeared
I kept calling and calling for him but he won't respond
I stomped my feet so hard that it hurts
"Athy?"
Someone called for my name
I turned around and saw Cythe standing behind
!!
"What are you doing here Cythe?" I asked nervously
He looked at me up and down
And seem to have noticed the way my body reacted nervously
He did not point it out and answered me
"..... I told you the professor told me to guard"
Oh right!
"Oooh okk, silly me i totally forgot"
He looked at me suspiciously
"Why-"
He was about to ask me something but to scared to answer
So i thought of an excuse to avoid his question
"Ohhhhhh *yaaawwwn, i am so sorry Cythe but i'm really tired right now so"
Making excuses while stretching my arms
"....."
So quiet why did he go quiet?
I took a peek and saw a sad face on Cythe
Why?
He noticed i was looking so he quickly changed his expression and said
"Then goodnight, Athy...."
And walked away
My heart was beating fast so fast that i was afraid it'd stop
If i hadn't stopped him from asking
What would he ask?
.....
What am i thinking?
My body started shaking but i brushed it off
And slept for the night
I woke up the next morning went to class and finally it was lunch
I was getting ready to meet Josefina so i tried sneaking without them noticing(Cythe and Claude)
But then
Both of them in sync
"Athy!" They said angrily
Welp
I'll go and ready my funeral
