Mystic Academy Bad headche
KELANI POVFuckI groaned, muttering a curse as I woke up and running a hand through my hair.My head pounded and was heavy as though there was an extra weight in it. The ringing in my ears I had attributed it to someone banging on a nearby table, but I guess it accompanied the headache.My mouth felt sour, like I had swallowed a lemon the night before, and my throat was dry, scratchy, and it ached as well.I had difficulty swallowing, but above all, I was thirsty.Although I was thirsty, I knew drinking water would only make things worse.The unpleasant sensations didn't stop there. Every muscle in my body ached and even moving just my arms felt like carrying extra weight.My queasy stomach reminded me that I had had more to drink than my body could handle. After struggling to open my eyes, I squinted around the room.Shielding my eyes from the sunlight streaming through a break in the blinds, I moaned. It was barely morning, and I wondered why it was already sunny."It's 9 am, darli
Mystic Academy Aftermath
KELANI POVA few minutes later, I finished freshening up. The throbbing in my head had significantly lessened, too.Riley was right; the drug seemed to have a touch of magic because regular human drugs wouldn't have cured the hangover so quickly. But then, I had never experienced a hangover before, so I couldn't be sure if non-magical aspirin would work the same way.I put on my uniform since the infirmary was on school grounds, and it was a rule to wear uniforms during school days. I wondered if this rule might help identify students easily, although I hadn't really encountered students from other schools trying to pose as Mystic Academy students.Again, I pondered if the rule applied to students from the founding families or if they were exempt, maybe only required to wear uniforms in places like the cafeteria.I inserted my earpieces, even though knowing it was prohibited, but walking towards the school infirmary without any distracted wasn't something I fancied.I couldn't possibl
Mystic Academy I don't believe you
KELANI POVMy eyes stayed fixed on the phone screen, and I wondered how long I'd been staring at it. I lost track of time, and everyone around me faded into the background.I couldn't make sense of what lay before me; it felt surreal. No way was I doing this with Vesper.No fucking way!If I hadn't been watching the video, I might have denied it if confronted. Maybe even fought tooth and nail to defend myself.Still gripping the phone, my attention shifted to Lia as she said, "The first time I saw you ogling and groping him without shame, I knew something was up. My intuition has never been wrong!" Lia exclaimed.I glanced at her, shaking my head. "This isn't what it looks like. I mean, we're not into each other. We definitely hate one another," I clarified.Recalling the party, I remembered sitting near Riley. The bottle landed on me almost immediately, as if it was just waiting for me to join the game. It happened twice. I never answered any of the questions and chose to drink inst
Mystic Academy An angel caught you
KELANI POVAfter taking a short stroll to clear my thoughts, I returned to the infirmary and spotted Riley outside.She was talking with a boy I hadn't seen before, probably one of the boys she often mentioned.Although Riley talked about many boys, I never saw her show real interest in any of them.Seemed like she preferred having fun rather than committing to a relationship.If I had someone in mind, I might have done the same, but I doubted I could mess around with any boy at Mystic Academy."Hey, Lani!" Riley waved me over as soon as she noticed me.Part of me wanted to ignore her, gaze elsewhere, and linger by the infirmary, waiting for my name to be called.Yet, ignoring Riley wouldn't solve my current problem. Besides, if I ignored her, she'd probably come to me.So, it was challenging not to acknowledge her and express what I wanted to say.Approaching her, the boy she had been talking to grinned at me."Hi Kelani, I'm Josh. Riley talked a lot about you," he said, his gaze mov
Mystic Academy Put out of their misery
KELANI POVI shuddered slightly as the stranger's arms still encircled me. He grinned, and I couldn't help but wonder what he found amusing. I couldn't tear my eyes away; he seemed unreal.His face had an angular shape, an aquiline nose, and thin lips that appeared overly perfect. A strong jawline and high cheekbones enhanced his features. A strand of dark hair fell over his right eye, giving him a devilish look – or maybe I was just imagining things. I'd never seen a devil before, so I had no idea how one would actually look.In my years of existence, I'd never encountered someone who could smile and be so dangerously attractive. Maybe Vesper could rival him if he ever smiled, although the stranger seemed to have a captivating charm that even Vesper might find challenging."I haven't seen you around here. Are you new?" he asked, his brows creasing."I am, and thank you," I replied as soon as I regained my balance."Oh, never mind. I'm glad I could catch you before you fell. I wouldn'
Mystic Academy Black Envelop
KELANI POV"Hey," I said, eyeing Riley as she slipped into her cheer uniform. It was my first time seeing her in it. I guess she only wore it on special occasions."Where are you off to?" I asked, still staring at what seemed to be the short skirt of the uniform.It wasn't really like a regular skirt, and I doubted stockings were allowed to be worn underneath. I didn't see her wearing any. The top barely covered her upper body, exposing her navel, and I could see her underwear as she bent to fix her shoelace."Is this appropriate?" I asked with a frown."I mean the outfit," I added as she raised a brow at me."It is," she said. "It's what our predecessor wore, though we modified it a teeny bit." I doubted anyone in their right mind would wear it, and knowing Riley, a major improvement had been made to the dress."Today is cheer, and I have exciting news for you," Riley said.Her eyes suddenly sparkled, and she stepped towards me. Riley was often excited, but I knew this excitement wou
Mystic Academy Let me go, Vesper
VESPER POVClosing the door behind me, I laced up my running shoes and stepped out of the room. Exiting through the large gate that protected the entire building where I lived, I rounded the corner and breathed out slowly, listening to the rhythmic thud of my footsteps on the pavement.It was my second run of the day, the only interruption being a brief visit to the infirmary after Headmaster Kendrick emphasized the importance of everyone being present.I was reluctant to be in the infirmary, yet I couldn't defy his order, knowing he watched me closely. I was at the top of his watchlist, and any mistake might result in expulsion.If I left, I had nowhere else to go; returning to the packhouse was out of the question, and Mystic Academy had become my home. The only place I knew as a home.Clasping my chest as my heart thumped painfully, it felt different from its usual rhythm, and the intensified tingling sensation added to my discomfort.I yearned to clear my thoughts, trying everyth
Mystic Academy Is she your mate?
VESPERI arrived home after a while, and the journey back was even longer than the one outside. Maybe it felt that way because I had used up all my strength, relying solely on my will to get home.Sighing, I pushed open the gate and stepped in. I hadn't locked it after leaving, but the surroundings were well-protected from intruders and wandering creatures.I wasn't staying in the dormitory like many of the students were. Even though it had been made compulsory for females as it was believed they were fragile and wouldn't be able to defend themselves when faced with danger, the male students had been given their freedom.However, not all male students enjoyed this privilege. It was reserved for those holding higher positions like team captains, co-captains, and even members of the founding family.This freedom was a matter of choice. Some eligible boys preferred dormitories for reasons unknown to me.Striding toward my apartment, situated beside two others, I breathed out, slid the ke
