Mystical Academy: The Mystery of the World

"Yes. She got lots of unused clothes there. You can use it."

"What about my bike?" I asked him while roaming my eyes around the roam.

"Your bike is still alive. I am going to fix it for you." Honestly, I can fix it by myself. I am quite good in mechanics…

"Is there any chance that a shop or boutique is near here for me to buy my personal things than using other people's personal things?"

"It is far away from here." he said leaning on the wall next to the door. "You have to use her clothes at least temporarily. Then on weekend I can drive you to mall."

"I can dri—"

"Sure, you can drive alone together with the people chasing you and wanted your head off." He cut me. He's right. I can't drive alone because of the people who wanted me dead.

Marissa entered the room with beautiful smile. She handed me two uniforms that is still covered in plastic. Then she gave me a small bag and when I open it, it contains make-ups and other personal things for girls.

"The size of the uniform suits you. I am perfectly sure of it. And oh, there are shoes you will love that I just bought yesterday. Boots and leather shoes you love right?" she asked. I looked at the boots that I am wearing. She's right.

She explain to me few things about the room which is a little bit wide. The bed has four poster with curtains. Then she left the room and Nick or should I say Mister Professor who is still leaning on the wall. I stopped and looked at my feet where there is a black Persian cat purring and rubbing herself or himself on me. I immediately stepped back that makes her purr more and complains.

"That's Katherine, Adhiti's cat."

"I am allergic to cats." I told him. I hold my nose and I sneeze really, sneeze. Good, I am really expecting a sneeze.

"Sorry." He said walk towards to me and then he picks the cat in front of me. "I didn't know that you are allergic to cats. I will bring med for you."

He left the room with the cat. So much for my lies. I roam around the room and it is sweet that they kept things around here. I went to the closet and see the pajama collections on the drawers. I pick the black one and a panty that is unused.

I went to the bathroom to take a long hot bath. When I stepped on the shower after putting all the lose clothes that Nick put on me while I am unconscious, I can't help to get excited to bath myself. I scrub the new soap on my body. I still got small bruises on my sides and my wounds are gone leaving a pinkish circles and lines.

When I got out of the bathroom, I almost jump when I saw Nick beside the bed, staring at the picture frame. I immediately changed my expression. A boring and emotionless one and calm. He looked at me. His eyes sparkle on me.

"I—Uh..." he murmured. "Here's your schedule." He said putting the paper on the side table. He stares at the picture frame for a moment.

"Mister—"

"Call me Nick." He said cutting me off walking directly to me.

"Nick, I would like to ask if the girl on that picture is Adhiti?"

"Yes." He said looking directly into my eyes. His eyes traced on my naked shoulders and arms. "Those marks?" I look down on my shoulders where my marks are. I have to lie about it too.

"I like tattoos that is why." I said. The truth was it is actually my marks. It glows when I am attached to nature or it glows when I am controlling the four elements. In my years, I almost completed it.

"Can I see the rest of it?" he asked.

"You mean you wanted to see me nude?" I asked. He chuckled on my bluntness. Of course it is hilarious. My marks are at my back and spine and I only got a towel around me.

"No, just the marks..."

Should I show him my marks that I said to be tattoos? It might make him more curious about me. I know that he didn't believe that I was another person... that I wasn't Adhiti. But my game is on, I have to be Catastrophe. Because I am Catastrophe and that wouldn't change.

"Maybe not." He said when I didn't say anything. "I will leave now." He walks out the door closing it gently.

I let out a sigh and hold on my towel tight. After I had put my pajamas on, I walk towards the study table. Adhiti's laptop is sitting there. They had kept her things clean and on the right place. I sit on the swivel chair and open her laptop. I watch a few slides show of the people that she is with and most of them are her pictures with Nicholas Gregory. I still remember the password.

"Time to move on, Nick." I murmur.

My phone rang. I pick it beside the laptop to see Jake's name on it. He's a guy who is always around me, helping me on everything. He's kind-a hot guy and one of the popular because he's a football player. We just dated few weeks where I am always cold to him because he's sometimes a bully and most of all, a douche bag.

"Yes?" I asked coldly answering his call.

"C, where are you? I had been calling you for ages and you are not even answering my calls and text. Are you alright? Mr. Canfield left the town and everyone are worried about you. Your house is a wreck!"

"I am in my new school. Why are you still calling and texting me?" I asked him bluntly.

"Because, I missed you. Why didn't you even say a single thing about leaving? You know how much I am in love with you." yeah, he's in love with me since my first time in their University. He said that, but he's jerking around, making out at every sluts.

He loved girls that are making out at each other. Then he wanted me to make out with a girl or two. It is just gross because they might have STI or STD. I don't want to be like them. He had tried to get into my panty but, I punch him in one shot, then he's asleep. Good right?

"Well, how much are you in love with me?"

"Infinite... please, come back to the town. Or you can tell me on where your school and I can visit you there." He's importunate.

"Move on from your life, Jake. I am not coming back to that school of yours. Besides, we aren't together and you can't force me to do what you wanted." Before I hang up my cell phone shut down. Just great.

Early in the morning, I woke up from the noisy alarm clock on the side table. I reach it with my hand and when I got it I threw it to the wall and it breaks. I pull the duvet over my head and continue sleeping.

"Do you know what time is it?" a manly voice speaks. I wanted to answer him; I don't give a shit. But I just can't. "Catastrophe, you have to get up and be ready for breakfast. I will lead you there."

I sat up like a zombie and looked around me and end up looking at this delicious man standing next to the half open door. He is wearing a blue long sleeve shirt with two buttons open on top. His hair is messy but he looks gorgeous on it.

"Good morning, Catastrophe." He smiles formally. I rubbed my eyes and slipped off from bed.

"Morning has never been good." I murmur and walk towards the bathroom.

I jump into a hot shower with a pleasurable sigh. Water never failed to give me a soothing feeling weather it is cold or warm. After shower, I dry my golden blond hair that has blue, green, red highlights everywhere. The color that never fades is at the inside back of my hair. It is nature color blue like water, sometimes it becomes green.

After drying my hair with the hairdryer, I put my uniform on. A white, long sleeve blouse, red neck-tie, black blazer and black and red plate's skirt with a badge of the school sign which is M and has flowers and twines design around the M. I put a light powder on my face and little lipstick. Then I got out wearing slippers and went to the couch-bed on the edge of the four poster bed. I put my boots on. He is still leaning on the wall probably waiting for me.

"You don't need to keep waiting for me." I told him.

"You are my apprentice and I should roam you around. There are rules here that you should know." He gesture at the door and I got out first and he followed me.

We walk on the corridor and the girls stalk a gaze on us. Perhaps they are gazing at the gorgeous man with me. He explained to me about girl's dormitory. Then there's a kitchen full of foods but the meal is served on the dining hall. So, we directly went to the dining hall.

"Good morning Mr. Gregory." The girls greet him. He smiles and nods at them. They chuckled and whispered at each other something, about him as hunk and still young.

Then, there is a girl who stopped in front of us gaping as she saw me. Of course I know her. She's one of Adhiti best friends. Eliza Marine.

"Adhiti..." she murmurs. I was taken aback when she hugged me tight. "You came back..."

"Eliza..." Nick calls her.

"I am not Adhiti." I say bluntly and she stopped and pushed herself from me. "Who are you?" I asked her.

"I—It's me, Eliza." She looked suddenly sad.

"Eliza, please meet my new apprentice, Catastrophe. Catastrophe, her name is Eliza Marine. Adhiti's best friend." Nick said formally. I extend my hand to her for a hand shake.

"Nice to meet you, Eliza." She looks down on my hand for a moment and when she was about to hold mine someone called me so I had put down my hand and turn to see the running Marissa wearing a fabulous pink shoes.

"Hi!" she waved and scooped my arm. "She will be our new best friend." She told Eliza with playful smile and had those wonderful wide eyes.

I looked at Eliza who forced a smile and nod. She faced Nick and implies something behind us. So, that's another issue. I feel like they get attached to each other after the death or missing in action of Adhiti. I look at Marissa at my side and she makes twinkling eyes on me. Yeah, she can be annoying because of her childlike attitude.

"I will take her from here." she told him.

"Perhaps I can both join you in breakfast?" Nicholas asked nicely with friendly smile.

"Of course you can." Eliza answered. Act like a robot, Catastrophe, that's what you are now. Even that you are in front of Adhiti's friends, you gotta act like a f-cking robot.

So in the breakfast, I eat silently while Marissa almost does the talking and Nick will just answer and then Eliza will agree. It seemed to be an awkward between the two. They will ask me a few questions and I will answer it monotonously with a lie if I have to lie. They are digging on my background and my background should be invisible as a ghost or spirits. George had covered it up all. I am a little confident to do my act.

I can feel a few people around watching us secretly and will look away immediately before anyone of us can catch them. Nick had left us alone after he had received a text from someone. I was left alone with Eliza and Marissa.

"Are you sure that you are not Adhiti?" Eliza asked frankly. I looked at her straight in the eyes.

"Are you still doubting that I was her?" I asked her. "How much do I look like her?"

"Very much alike." She answered reading my emotions.

I wanted to go back to my room instead of joining Marissa around. Everyone is in what they call study building while this building is a dormitory. On the other side are for males and on this side where I am striding is for the females. Everything is made of archaic... rock walls. Every post of the walls has torch.

I stopped from walking straight in front where there are corners at my sides. I looked at my right to see a girl in a uniform. I can see two figure and a tall man is leaning on the wall. The girl sound flirty and I know that voice. I stepped two backwards and two sidewards to right.

"It's not her, Nick."

"It's her." he insisted. The girl groaned complaining on him.

"Are you going to breakup with me because she's back? Nick, Adhiti is dead! She's not Adhiti, look into her eyes."

"I don't care, Liza!" ohh, he sounds frustrated.

"Nick, I love you and you are mine. Adhiti is gone and accept that she won't ever come back." She sound so desperate. Oh, so much of oh... I heard his heavy sighed.

"I don't know how to work with this, Eliza... I thought that you can make me forget about her..." I heard clasping sound and kissy noises and moaning. When I peek, I saw her pinned on the wall and her legs are spread wrapped around his waist.
