It'll never be normal

"I knew she could do it" said Ceasar and to someone else it might sound like he had faith in her but I saw the threatening dangerous glint in his eyes. I wonder what would've happened if the day ended without her being able to fix it. I'm sure even Adrian and the others would not have been able to stop him if that had happened. He was almost convincing with how he acted rational when I knew that in actuality he wants nothing more than to use his hands than his head. I know his type very well.

" Yeah you seem to always have faith in the right people" I joked and we laughed knowing the double meaning. He teased "Well...are you happy that you can freely roam around the academy?"I nodded enthusiastically, excited to finally be able to walk towards the dining hall or take a walk at the academy grounds. "I felt like I was going crazy. Isolation isn't nice when not intended" , "yeah well you can forget about that word now because I'm never gonna let that happen again" okay he really needs to stop being this cheesy, will it be like this all the time.

"Ahem yeah... So um I have to clean myself up now and get ready to- you know roam around the academy" he smirked and I knew he was going to say something teasing or flirtatious " so what are you suggesting?" Mischief was written all over his face. "You know exactly what I mean. I can't do that while you're here", " well too bad because if you want me to leave you're gonna have to carry me out of here " is he serious right now. It hasn't even been thirty minutes since we've been officially and he has already started being a bullying boyfriend. Mnh? Boyfriend? It sounded weird but at the same time nice like he is finally mine and I'm his. Argh can I just stop acting like we've just been married!...even that is not a bad idea

"Heyy? Earth to my girlfriend? You don't have to daydream about me when I'm already in front of you"

"Ahh Stop!"...

Its the start of a beautiful day with the sky almost being clear and there were a few white clouds there and there in unrecognizable shapes. I'm not a cloud guessing person and I really don't like doing it. I am happy because I'm finally able to get out of our room like I used to. Being kept here really stressed me out a lot knowing what everyone must've been thinking about me but things are different now. They're better and back to normal or some of them are.

Sera was still not talking to me so we got really for today's classes in silence, silence that was better for her but uncomfortable with me. We usually joke around and she is the one that wakes me up most of the time but we'll not this time and I'm afraid not ever. I waited for her to leave first then followed after her to the dining hall while making sure to maintain a distance between us. Then it happened, while walking in the hallway there were others students too which was normal but the whispers they whispers were a harsh reminder that things were never going to go back to normal. Not after the damage that has been done.

"So she really didn't leave..

"Well why would she when she was the victim in all of this..

"Yeah I know but still...it's uncomfortable having her here..

"Yeah I would've left if I was her..

"What does she wants? Our pity?..

"What was she doing in the first place to be caught up in this?..

"Maybe she wore something that tempted Mr Shran?..

"Tempted by her clothes? She's always tempting to think that old man got in with her?..

"Disgusting! How can you think that..

"Yeah and besides it's clearly obvious that she didn't touch her otherwise there'd marks...we shifters love leaving marks..

"It's not even about that argh the fact that you think what happened to her is okay tisk man are disgusting!..

"It's what she deserves, always doing things differently for attention..

"Yeah she thinks we're indebted to her because of that one time and it irks me..

...

They normally didn't bother me this much but this is on another level and I started walking faster not wishing to hear more. Looking back to how this morning I thought things would go back to normal makes me feel like an idiot. Did the snitch even try to clear my name because I'm really not satisfied with this. I don't want to be looked at by everyone this way for the rest of the year. Should I tell Ceasar? No it's futile because the damage will not be fixed completely. That girl really ruined me and I hope one day she really burns because of that.

Right now I have to focus on four things and that's helping Sera and Jacob, look for the traitor, investigate why the snitch did what she did to me and lastly...be a good girlfriend to Ceasar. I know the last one sounds very childish and cheesy but I really want to make it my middioj to make him happy and free. I really don't want him to regret his decision because whether I like it or not, Mr Rodrous's stinging words have yet to leave my mind. I sighed and decided to take a break from thinking too much because today is still a good day with it's few mishaps but it can be a great day.

I entered the dining hall and immediately after that the noice ceased for a bit and everyone has their eyes on me. Nice.

I ignored their weight and went to the only table that had welcoming and comforting smiles. Ceasar my bOYfrIeNd, Adrian, Cedric, Peter, Mia and Damian. There were no signs of Jacob in the dining hall and I didn't fail to notice Sera quietly sitting alone. I felt sad seeing her like that but it just made me determined to help her without her knowing. Very soon she won't be alone, I just have to Jacob wherever he is.

" Why good morning everyone" I greeted with a happy tone, although incomplete it's still nice to see their faces. Some I haven't for a while. " Good morning to you to Dintle" said Mia, "you really look like you're in a good mood and that's good" said Ceasar causing everyone to exchange knowing glances. Even Mia and Damian were included in that act. So they must already know " so you told them?" , "told them what?". Is he really going to pretend now " Ceasar admit to your crimes. you tolf them that we're now boyfriend and girlfriend?" My expression quickly turned sour when they all exclaimed

"What!"

This sly **** did it on purpose and the triumph smile confirms it. " So you guys are dating now! When did that happen?" Peter asked clearly unable to believe it. I grumbled "Yesterday", " that's my dude, you finally did it!" Cedric cheered and was actually happy about this. " Finally the stupid games you have been playing are over. This was pretty obvious right from the start" said Adrian and I tried really hard not blush embarrassed by his words. It really did look we were playing games.

"Since when?" Asked Ceasar to Adrian and he shrugged and answered "since the time you found me talking to her in the forest and they laughed at you because she managed to shut your rude mouth"

"...!" That's so long ago, literally the first days of being in the academy.
