The Awakening Of The Dormant Princess -Epic Comeback-(ON-HOLD)

Chapter 24: (The Unexpected Engagement)

(Third Person's P.O.V)

Adarakira is usually boisterous with noises from students exchanging chitchats here and there whenever they're class-free. However, today is unusually even more so with people talking in every corner of the school either from hushed voices and some evidently talking about with clear voices.

Not to mention, all students seemed to be conversing with the same subject in mind with their faces expressing disbelief, confusion, and astonishment.

"What's up with these people? They're unusually extra noisy today." Callie commented, her eyes freely expressing her displease. She hated gossipers and judging by how people chattered today, that's exactly what's happening now.

"Yeah. They only get to be like that when there's some sort of big news floating around." Oscar said.

"And what could be that big news that these people got an intel first before us?" Callie asked with her eyebrow rising, feeling suspicious.

Oscar shrugged. "Dunno. You know how gossipers work, so that's probably how."

Callie could only make a 'tsk' sound, rolling her eyes disapprovingly.

"I am curious though. What could be that big news that's keeping these people on their toes?" Ashton butted in, the rest agreeing sharing the same curiosity.

A frown etching on their lips when they notice the strange gazes the other students' throwing at them. The people still bow and greet them in respect like the usual, but today their eyes are holding an odd look.

They would immediately avert their eyes once they accidentally make eye contact with them. It does happen constantly and they knew it was because of their authoritative, powerful, and intimidating presence. However, today seems different.

The people still had that intimidated look on them but with something else, then they would proceed to their hushed conversation as though the Royalties were included in whatever they were talking about.

"Guys, I think we're part of their conversation." Beatrix chimed in.

Ashton pats her head slightly with a smile. "We always are, Trix."

Beatrix's lips were pulled into a pout. "I know, but today just seems really different."

Viviana narrowed her eyes with an unimpressed look. "They couldn't just be more obvious," she commented.

"We can ask?" Spike suggested.

They just nodded and were about to ask one of the students they passed by when they suddenly heard Dexter's voice shouting from somewhere.

"Guys!" Dexter yelled as soon as he spotted them. He ran quickly to their direction and abruptly stopped once he got near enough, panting trying to catch his breath. He looked as though he just ran a mile. When in fact he did, he sprinted around the school desperately looking for them.

His face looked slightly pale and his features appeared shaken.

The others' had their forehead creasing with their frowns deepening.

Callie arched an eyebrow. "Where have you been? And what's up with you?"

Dexter who was slightly crouching with his hand on his knees, still panting. There were even visible bullets of sweat on his forehead. "Give me a sec." He raises his hand, inhaling a deep breath. "Not now, Callie. Let's bicker next time."

Callie's eye twitched at that. "I haven't even said anything-"

"It's Zack." Dexter cut her off as he straightened up, his face turning serious.
