REVERIE OF THE AWAKEN MIND

Chapter 6

"His? His name? A boy?" Gillian confusedly asked.

I nodded and shoke my head later on. I don't even know the reason why would that guy throw us a fireball. I don't think Kean would tell him to do that. I hate him earlier, I didn't heard a word from him to atleast defend the class 2 where his mother belonged.

He was really selfish, no wonder he is a son of his father. I will make mom proud of me, I will fulfill all the duties of being her child. We can't count on Kean so I will just do it myself. I am lucky to be a daughter of her and I am sad for Kean. He didn't had a chance of feel the warmth love that mom gave me.

He chose to go with his father when he was a kid. He was 3 years old and I was almost 2 when his father took him away from us. I could almost remember everything but some of my memories are blurred but I am certain of those cleared.

"Yes, a boy. I do not know him but he was with Kean," I answered her and put back my eyes in the food to continue eating.

"Your brother?"

I looked at her flatly. She chuckled when she saw my expression, why would she get shock asking if he was my brother? Like, everyone knows that. Everyone knows that he was my brother and everyone know as well that he never treated me like his sister.

"Do you even know other Kean in this school? Why would you get shock? Duuh!"

I rolled my eyes making her laugh her lungs out. I keep the container into my bag and drink water before I lose my mind and drown her.

"I mean, Kean never had an interaction with you here. And his friends probably, no, I mean for sure knew that you are his sister, so why would he throw a fireball to you? Is he trying to get your attention? If yes? Why? And for what?"

I shrugged a shoulder to never let her questions messed up my mind because I don't care those questions. Maybe that guy didn't know who was in here. It's just a good thing that I have fast enough reflexes or else we were probably burning together in this moment. Well, not me who got the ability of the water.

"I don't know. Stop asking nonsense questions, Gillian. I will never get into their ways and so you are. They were going to slave us because of our status," I seriously told her.

"They will never do that to us. Every Holiester in this Holy University knows you, they knew you, they knew that you are not a cry baby and a weak Holiester to get bullied," she commented.

I hissed to that. She was frankly correct, I don't know why but everyone here knows who I was. At first I thought they just knew me because I was Kean's sister. Turned out to be opposite, they knew I was Kean's sister when they knew me here in the university. I ranked 1 in the academics. Gillian and I, we were able to replaced royalties in their rank in the board of battle.

Gillian got herself in the rank 6 and I got the rank 3. I even surpassed Hailey Gomez and I don't know what was her reaction to that. She was a role model because of her dedication and courage but I invaded her privacy once and I learned that she was territorial.

But I chose not to read her mind again after I learned that I beat her in the rank board. Everyone was shocked and called it lucky day for me but I maintain the rank for me. Kean was always the rank 1 and the Prince Stanley Flores, he was the consistent rank 2.

I was always wondering what was Hailey thinking everytime she saw me. She never had a word to me but I can see that she don't like me. Not like I care, it's just that, she's unpredictable this time.

"Don't be complacent with that, we don't know what does these royals have in their mind. They can play anytime they want," I answered.

I would never let my guard down here. I would never let them play my life here. That would just get mom worried as hell.

"If only, it's just fine to end the royals life when they're unreasonable, I would be more than willing to end those brat's lives," she said with determination.

"Who's life?"

"Holy sh*t!"

"Motherf*cking life!"

We almost jumped in startles when Marj just appeared in front of us the moment we jumped down from that tree branch. Where the f*ck she came from and why is she here? We swear, the heck!

"W-what?" Gillian stuttered. She was still not recovering.

"Who are you two going to end a life? I heard you guys are planning to end someone's life," she said, crossing her arms in her chest and smiling to the both of us.

"We are going to end the life of those Holiesters that would never leave us alone. You know, we should respect each other's privacy and when someone is going to invade mine and my best friends, I will end their lives with my bare hand. I won't mind getting thrown into the Kingdom of Sinners, " I said clearly. Her smile faded slowly like she's getting what I just meant. I was just kidding and it's up to her how the f*ck she will going to absorb my words in her mind.

She get stunned by a moment absorbing my words. She was kind of shocked after hearing those. When we were in the city, we were kind off a sheep to her but not I was talking bold. Gillian leaned a little on me and pressed my arm. I was just kidding but half meant.

Marj obviously didn't expect to hear such words from me. I don't know if she really know me or she just heardand knew my name. Gillian and I we both do not know her. Royal bloodline is wide and huge. Some of them are from far bloodline but still acknowledged as a royalty, they still got the privileges of the royals.

"Oh. Wow, ah-I didn't expect those. I mean, I was kind off thinking you are talking about me hearing what you guys are talking about," she said in a very awkward tone.

I almost laugh with that. I even heard Gillian's little laugh that immediately turned out into a clearing of throat. This b*tch.

"Oh, no! Of course not. What I said was kind off esoteric stand of an explanation. So yeah," I explained with a little smile.

She shrugged and I don't know if she bit my excuse but I guess she didn't. She got what I meant and I don't know what will happen next. Either, she will tell the council with my kind of words or she would just let it slide. Holy University and even the council didn't hear anything from me. They can have my presence but they never had my words.

I always choose to stay in the side like nobody would care about me rather than being in the spotlight where every eyes are on you, expecting for you not to make or commit any mistakes. And if you make mistakes, they will laugh at you until you surrender and choose defeat.

"Of course. I know you guys are the best friends like. You two are for keeps and I want to make friends with you two," she excitedly said.

I looked at Gillian and I caught her looking at me too. I saw how she slowly shaking her head like she was saying no. I was about to move like that and since she did first I just winked.

"I just want to know if it would be a crime of us lower classes to decline the offered friendship of a royalty like you," Gillian politely said.

Marj looked at her with her raised eyebrows. I tend to read her mind but the thought of me not to invade other Holiester's privacy just popped up so I chose not to. I sighed in mind because I honestly, I was like dealing with myself.

"What? Of course not! Who said that? But it would give you guys a privilege to be friends with us. I mean, we have the special ways that you guys will surely enjoy. Easy access and a training that---"

"You mean bribe?"

She stopped when I interrupted. She looked at me with a caressed eyes, she was asking me by her looks.

"Bribe? W-what do you mean?" she confusedly asked.

"I mean, is it normal for you royalties to blind lower classes with privileges to be friends with you? To follow your words and to follow your so called rules? I mean, I don't get it. Why would you want to be friends with lower classes when you can just get friends from your co-royals. For that, you will not be needing some burden because all of you got the privileges yourselves." Gillian stated.

She would clap my hands on Gillian. I was so proud of my best friend for being this bold. She can really be an angel and a b*tch at the same time and today, she woke up and chose to be a b*tch.

"Are you saying that you don't want to be friends with me?" she amusedly asked. Marj is obviously a couple of years older than from both of me and Gillian. And I do not know what is she doing here.

I didn't expect her to show amusement after Gillian's straight words. I expected her to act like a bratty wealthy and rich as hell Royalty. She acted like one when we were in the Holy City. Well, maybe they were just used to push lower classes out of where they were. They don't like to be in the same place with us lower classes.

But now she's here, asking us to be her friends. These royalties are kind off weird. I do not know who among these royalties are not following their every rules.

"We don't want to be in the same picture with you guys. It's just quite peaceful when you are not around," I honestly said and I don't care how the heck she would understand my kind of words.

"Are you telling that we royals causes chaos?"

She raised her brows and looked at us together. I gave a little glance to Gillian and sighed before looking back at Marj.

"Yes." I directly answered. "I mean, all eyes are on you, you all caught every attention and I don't like that. If we hang out with you guys, those class 1, other class 2 and even the royalties, they would be so curious about us and I won't like that."

"How can I not like the both of you," she talked. She was smiling while looking at the both of me and Gillian. Really? She likes us? Isn't that a trap just to be in the same place with them? Do things like they always does?

"You don't like us, you just like the idea of having us around. I don't know your reason," Gillian brutally said and that made laughed and clapped her hands.

"Damn! You two are bold! I wish one day, you'll change your mind and accept as your friend. And oh, by the way I need to go. I'm going to the council's office for a meeting. I just saw the two of you that's why I came here," she said and just like that, she vanished.

Teleportation, she have it.

"I always want to have teleportation, but anyways," Gillian shurrged and hang her bag in her shoulder as we go back inside the University circle.

Some of these Holiesters students are living in the dorm but Gillian and I, we chose not to live in there. I couldn't leave mom alone living our home. So we used to go back and forth everyday. I can teleport and Gillian can do invisibility or sometimes we fly.

I just had the advantage of it. Although, Gillian can run fast.

"Amara! Gillian!"

My best friend and I, we stopped when this girl runs towards our direction. I do not know her.

"That is Hailey Gomez' sister," Gillian mumbled that made me look at her only to receive a wink form her. This girl.

Hailey's sister? Why is she coming to us?

"H-hi," I awkwardly greeted her when she finally reached us. I can see that she is a freshman and might be the reason why I do not know her as Hailey's sister. This might be her first time in the Holy University and she got to know me already. Like what the heck?

She smiled widely like saucer and giggles. What is she giggling for?

"Do you need something?" Gillian asked her. *Why does this royalties are pestering us*? I looked at her when she talked to me in mind.

I bit my lower lip because I was thinking the same. These royalties are pestering us for no reason. Why would they?

"Lady Penelope mentioned that the girl who defeated her last year is still here in the Holy University and I learned that it was you, Amara. I want to fight with the two of you, especially you, Amara, of course," she said. I don't know what emotion she was showing, she seems to be challenged and excited.

"What makes you think that I would accept your offer?" I asked her.

"You won't decline me," she said with full of determination that I would say yes.

This girl is clearly a brat. Hailey's sister? Hailey is obviously a quite brat but precise and not loud. Unlike this girl in here.

"I will not decline your offer, because what?" I teased her.

I know the reason why she thought I won't decline her offer. I think, we just had this scenario a while ago. What do we still have today? Should I look forward for other royalties to come over me and asked me for something ridiculous? Yes! Ridiculous because they thought they can make everyone yes to them, like hey!

"You know better why you should not embarass me, class 2."

My smile faded and my eyes just turned dead. What the hell she just said? What the f*ck did she just called us? Our class level? This brat right here is beyond brat. This one is pure brat with no blood of being a Holiester. Damn this girl.

"Look, Ms. Royalty. I don't think, my best friend should say yes because you just said it. We still have right to say no if we don't want it. And in your case, we don't want to get involve to you. Plus, please stop bringing up your class level. You will get ashamed if you'll provoke her, I swear."

Gillian grabbed my arm and dragged me to somewhere I don't know — oh, no, it's somewhere that I know. Tss. She just dragged me inside the classroom. Like, class will start in 3 hours and what are we going to do here?

"Why are we here? We don't come here during vacant," I said while fixing my bag in my chair so it won't get messy for me when I sit my ass down.

"I was asking myself the same thing. I don't know why the f*ck I dragged you here. Where are we going to? How about let's just go to the Holy City?" She asked raising her brows.

We went to the Holy City days ago but we didn't see anything new and exciting. What are we going to do there? But, that would be sound better than staying in here where royalties are scattered.

I picked up my bag and put it in my shoulder for I always bring back pack. It's convenient for me for that both my shoulder would carry the heaviness of it and not just my single shoulder just like Gillian. She always bring a body abg and hanged it in her right shoulder and I was hearing a complaints from her, like everyday.

"Let's go. Let's just look for something new in the City," I said and walked towards the door. I saw Gillian's shadow behind and following me.

We both passed by some Holiester students exchanging their powers for no reason. They just like to play with it. Well, playing with it in control is something like training that is why the council and the director let them be. Although, younger Holiester students like freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to do that.

They are not yet that controlled. They often lost control and could cause damages in the university or worst, they would just hurt their selves.

"I still don't get it. Why would the King and Queen put the Holy Kingdom in classes? Look at that, they're slaving the lower classes and they can't say no because they were afraid. It's just a good thing to us that we made into the rank 10 that we are given a chance and a right to say no to them. Otherwise, we'll end up like that lower classes in there being a punching bag and a power receiver of that entitled royalties," Gillian frustratingly said.

We are walking slowly towards the gate. We can't fly nor teleport from here for I was putting those ability of mine in secret. Gillian also putting her other abilities a secret. Everyone thought she only have the ability of releasing a sand. No one knows that she can blow a Holiesters and make them a stone.
