Elemental Academy

Chapter 13 - The Fight

**Edited**

Slayzes, Lucy and Bailey arrived at the big building just in time for their Air class. The professor had just arrived too, so the three didn't miss out on anything.

"You're kidding me," Bailey grunted, seeing Drake and Skylah standing next to each other.

They were side by side, holding each others hands. They seemed too happy to notice the professor had arrived. Slayzes looked over to where Bailey was looking and saw them too.

They both leaned in for a kiss, making Slayzes's' depression come back. If he had to see this everyday, and had to share a room with Drake, Slayzes would surely never see happiness again.

"Stop looking, and pay attention to the professor," Lucy whispered, covering her mouth with her hand.

Slayzes turned his head over to the professor, but he couldn't resist looking every once in a while at Skylah and Drake. Snapping out of his sadness, Slayzes realised that after this class, he would only have one more. After school, he could punch Drake in the face, like he wanted to earlier.

"Hello everyone! I am Madam Laris! I will be your Air professor for the day, Ms Crimson is away so I am your substitute! So, come in please," Madam Laris opened the doors. The sound of the creaking wood made Slayzes shiver.

Everyone entered the building, sitting down where they could. Slayzes was the last one in, and there was only one seat left. It was next to Skylah. Slayzes gulped as he sat down next to his ex-girlfriend. Trying not to make any eye contact, Slayzes turned his head the other way.

"Now," Madam Laris started, "you have done this at least twice today. As you can see, there is an Air Pellet on your table. You will need to eat these once a day, for the rest of the week," she finished speaking and Slayzes turned his head and stared at his Pellet on the table.

"Slayzes ..." Skylah muttered in complete guilt.

"How could you not tell me that you slept with Drake that day you went to see him?"

Skylah's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "H–How do you know about th–that?" she asked in complete surprise.

"As if it matters! Cheater," Slayzes called her, making Skylah feel like a piece of junk.

"Slayzes ... please let me explain–" Skylah put her hand on Slayzes's shoulder, but Slayzes pushed it away.

"I don't think I need you to explain!" Slayzes snapped, his eyebrows scrunching up.

Skylah stared at Slayzes before turning her head the other way. What have I done? She thought in her head, before looking at Drake.

Skylah stared at Drake, watching him made her blush. She liked both guys, Drake and Slayzes, but she had to pick just one.

"I know what he did to you was ... horrible, but I still like him," Skylah confessed, closing her eyes, waiting for Slayzes to respond.

"That's why you didn't make eye contact with me. Because you slept with him. That was why you weren't talking much on the train, or why you were stuttering when his name came up. It all makes sense."

"Slayzes no! That's not what it looks like–"

"Shut up!" Slayzes growled. "I am here to learn, not listen to my ex-girlfriend's sob story." Slayzes turned his attention back to the teacher, leaving Skylah in sadness.

"Now, you may eat your Pellet," Madam Laris announced, after a long introduction that Slayzes barely heard.

Slayzes picked his Pellet up. Examining it closely, he saw the Air symbol, and that was it. Slayzes threw the Pellet into his mouth, chewing on it slowly.
