Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 104

A few days later, at Blackie's house...

Today is the last day of exams. I tried to forget about Eluma and focus on my studies, and thankfully I did really well. We barely saw each other anyway because of the pressure, and we are not even going to school together, so this also helped (though I kind of miss these moments). Yamel came and took the exams, and I have to say, seeing me with Hexy and Eluma drove him crazy (and I'm not complaining).

"There are also the exams in magic, but I postponed them until our tests are finished. Not for their sake, but for mine, as I'll have to check all the papers before and after the exam."

'Being a director is fun', they said. Well, I can proudly say that it's the total opposite.

"Anyway, I better hurry up and leave before I get late."

...

After the exams...

"Finally! We're done"
*nod* "I hope we did well."
"Nah, I'm sure you did great."
"Black Akari!"
*turn* "Yamel, what is it?"
"Eum, since the exams are over, will you come back and help me?"
"... I don't know. It depends"
"Depends?"
"Yes. It depends on whether or not the teachers want me to do it."
"Oh, I see."

I hope they will say that she has to help me. Even though she mostly brings these annoying brats with her, I'm still happy I can be with her.

"Shouldn't you leave?"
"Oh, yes. Estelle, help me."
*nod* *helps him*
"I'll see you around."
*nod*
*leave*
"Blackie, will you help him?"
"Yes"
"Why?!"
"Because I need to. But this time, it will be different."
"What do you mean?"
*smirk* "You'll see."

We'll have lots of fun.

...

At Blackie's house...

"Black Akari, you're back!"
"Yes"
"How was the test?"
"Good"
"Great! Food is ready-"
"I'm not hungry."
"Oh, but you should-"
"Is Monica here?"
"Eum, yes, she's in her room."
"Deal"

Does this girl even attend her classes?

*knock knock*
"Yes?"
*clack*
"Sis? What is it?"
*clack*

Don't call me sis. It makes me sick.

"I needed to talk to you about the exams in magic."
"Oh, I see."
"They will take place next Saturday at 8 a.m. in the underground room of the academy."
"Wait, isn't next week a little too early?! We need more time! And the underground room doesn't even have desks-"
"First, I'm the director, so I decide when and where the tests will take place. Second, I know that this room doesn't have desks. Third, eight days are more than enough if you start working now."
"But-"
"End of discussion. I'll send emails to the others, but you should tell them so that they start preparing."
"... I understand. I'll call them now."
*nod* "Bye."
"Bye-"
*clack*

This b*tch has the audacity to question my decisions. I'm doing the tests next week because I know that no one will be able to study later. I'm doing them a damn favor, and that's what I get.

"Kids these days..."

...

The next day, at school...

"Akari, can I talk to you for a second?"
"... Sure. What is it?"
"Well, since the exams are over, I'd like you to go and help Yamel again, since he still has two weeks until he comes back. You don't have to go to his house every day, though. Once a week is enough."
*smile* "Sure"
"Thank you"
*nod*

Perfect. That's all I needed.

"Blackie!"
"Yes?"
"Can you tell us why you want to help him?"
"Are you guys free tomorrow?"
"Eum, yes, I am."
"Same here, why?"
"Great. Meet me at my house at 11 a.m."
"Okay? But why?"
*sigh* "Stop asking and just do as I say."
"Alright."
"Let's get to class." *walks away*
*nod*

I can't wait for tomorrow.

*stare*
"Eluma, you'll dig a hole in her back if you keep staring at her like that."
"Huh? Ah, yes"
"Eluma, what happened the other day? When you went to see Blackie?"
"... Nothing. We should also go."
"Man-"
*walks away*
"Are you serious?"

What's up with these two?

...

After classes...

"Hey"
*turn* "Black Akari? What is it?"
"The teacher talked to me today. He said that he wants me to tutor Yamel once a week until he comes back, so I'll help him tomorrow at my house. I hope you can tell him, Estelle."
"Eum, sure, but why don't you come?"
"It'll be a Saturday, so it's easier for me if he comes. After all, I was always the one to go to your house."
"Oh, I see. Alright, we'll be there."
"And by the way, Eluma and Hexy will be there"
"Can we come?"
"... Sure. Be there at 11 a.m."
"Deal, thanks!"
*nod*

She thinks she can steal Eluma from me. Well, joke's on you. He's mine-

*slightly blushes* "I should be more careful about my thoughts."
"What are you talking about?"
*turns around* "Oh my god! You scared me!"
*giggle* "Sorry. Didn't mean to."
*sigh* "Don't do it again."
"Alright. But tell me, what thoughts are you talking about?"
"... Nothing important. Forget it. Where's Eluma-"
"What is wrong with you two?"
"What do you mean?"
"You've been hiding something from me, haven't you?"
"Hexy, if it was something important, I would've told you."
"But-"
"Hexy. Stop."
*sigh* "Okay"
"I'm leaving."
"I'm coming with you! This brat left me alone."
*chuckle* "He's a weirdo."
"Yes! He is!"

Well, he's my weirdo.
