4 When Faithful Love turns Betrayal (2/2)
”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.
