Chapter 67: Inside Maya’s Mind (2/2)

Wait… fuck!

Last night, I slept in Layla’s room again and well, we had sex.

But fucking hell, was Maya just pretending to sleep!? But then, she must have heard everything…

And what does she mean by “again”? Was she pretending to sleep the other day as well!?

Damn…

I mean, it was always clear as day that he like Layla. But there was always a feeling that I also meant something for him… that is, more than just a friend or family…

You do Maya! You are more than that!

But seeing him so happy with Layla for the past few days really hurts my heart. I love him so much… Should I try to take him away from her? I don’t know how, but I can try something like seducing him…

What!?

I knew that Maya has some feelings for me, but I never thought they were this strong…

No, I don’t think I can ever do something like that to Layla. She is my family and my best friend since childhood. I love her too much to hurt her in any way…

Maya…

What if all three of us get in a relation— no, Layla will never agree to something like that… She already has Jacob. Why would she share him with another woman…

No, Maya! Because of my system, Layla has agreed for a harem!

I mean, I really don’t want to become the third wheel in the house… And I also don’t want to keep resenting them for following their hearts…

You are not the third wheel Maya…

What if I find someone else… and force myself to somehow love him? I don’t know if I will be able to do this… But maybe this way, I can at least live a normal life under the same roof with Layla and Jacob? Maybe them being together will stop affecting me this badly?

“MAYA!” I shout loudly.

“Don’t yell at me, Jacob. I am not talking to you. Anyway, school is here, I am going…” she says before running inside the school gate.

I think I saw tears in her eyes.

“Hey! Wait! I need to tell you something!” I yell and start running after her.

“Hey, Jacob!”

Suddenly, I hear my name and the next moment, someone grabs my shoulder, stopping my motion.

I turn around frustratingly and find Ryan and Leo standing there.

“Sorry, bro! We couldn’t come and see you in the infirmary yester—”

“Later!” I say while turning quickly around but my shoulder gets grabbed again.

“Man, I said we are sorry. Please don’t be mad at as. And we know that Alex must have planned—”

“I am not mad! I will talk to you later!” I tell Ryan while forcibly removing his hand from my shoulder and starting to run again.

“Wait! Jacob!”

Damn it! I cannot see her again.

I quickly enter the school building but Maya has already disappeared somewhere inside…

“FUCK!!!!” I swear loudly.

“Where the hell would she go?” I mutter to myself.

I searched for Maya in her class, asked all her friends, and checked a few other places as well, but I could not find her anywhere.

Damn it! I need to tell her that I love her as well!

“Now, students, listen to Leena here…” Miss Laura says loudly.

Right now, I am on the grounds with my class, learning magic from Leena again.

“Hello, everyone! Today, we will try creating water. I know there was no success yesterday with the fireballs, except a few accidents, but still, I want you all to get used to the sensation of the magic flowing inside your body by trying different types of magic first.”

“Now, for creating water, I want you all channel magic like you did yesterday, but instead of focusing it on your hand, I want to all to try to disperse it in your surroundings. If everything goes right, you will be able to actually sense all the things around you which gets touched by this dispersed magic.”

“Remember, for the water molecules, you will be able to sense a peculiar sort of wetness in the air. I want you all to gather this wetness, and concentrate it inside the drinking glasses,” Leena explains.

Small wooden stools are standing in front of everyone, on top of which there is a single empty drinking glass placed.

Sigh… Let do this.

I raise my hand and point it towards my empty water bottle placed beneath the stool instead of the drinking glass. Then, I start looking at Leena, waiting for her to turn away in another direction.

A moment like this comes a couple of minutes later when Aria asks Leena a question about this magic.

Okay…

I quickly close my eyes and imagine the core of magic inside my body. Then, I imagine magic flowing from this core and spreading throughout my body with the help of veins and arteries, eventually leaking out from everywhere to disperse in the surrounding.

To my awe, I instantly start feeling all sorts of different sensations, like that of air, dirt particles, and even the wetness of water molecules Leena mentioned.

Opening my eyes, I look directly at my water bottle, and imagine water molecules gathering and concentrating inside it.

“Woah…” I leak out a small voice of surprise as the bottle actually starts to fill up with water.

In just a few seconds, my bottle gets full to the brim and I break my concentration to stop the magic.

That was amazing—

CRACK

Suddenly, a loud cracking noise enters my ears. I look aside and find Leo staring at a broken piece of glass with a horrified expression.

“Ahh!”

I leak out a small scream as Leena instantly appears before us out of nowhere.

“What happened!?” she asks while looking at me hopefully.

“Not me, him,” I say while pointing at Leo.

“S-Sorry, I broke the glass…” he apologizes profoundly.

“Oh, no need to apologize! It can be easily repaired,” Leena says while pointing her hand towards the broken pieces.

Instantly, they rearrange themselves and the drinking glass becomes as good as new.

“Be proud that you at least did something. Just focus more and continue to practice!” she tells Leo encouragingly.

“I will try my hardest and won’t disappoint you, princess,” Leo says while blushing.

Leena gives him a smile before going away.

“Yes! She is almost mine…” Leo whispers to himself while laughing evilly.

Yeah… sure…

{Master! Look!}

What?

{It’s the girl whose photo you showed me last night! She is going inside the school building!}

I look at the direction of the school.

Well, someone is entering the building but I cannot see the face…

{I can, master. It’s her! Alex’s girlfriend! It’s time for us to start our plan!}
