The white butterfly tango

Chapter XXV

Esma stood in the completely white room right in front of the beautiful lady. The woman was shining like a diamond and looked like some kind of video game character that was meant to guide you or give you missions. The woman was wearing all white clothing and her gold-like hair was perfectly styled. The girl just observed the woman without saying the word. She was creating something in her hands. Sphere-like, ball of energy that she then used to turn into something. Esma really wanted to see it but then suddenly woke up from the vision as Dan was shaking her by the shoulders.

"Esma, you had another vision?" He was a bit concerned, but the girl knew how mad he was at her before, so decided not to irritate the boy more.

"I did. Sorry." She nodded and took a look around her dormitory room that she somehow already turned into a mess. Mike would probably say it was a big dumpster.

"Is it bad? Are you hurt?" The boy was really worried about her, even though, desperate+ly tried not to show it. They both sat on her bed, close enough to be able to talk quietly and calmly.

"No, it's okay. Thank you for being here." Esma smiled a bit and took the boy's hand into hers.

"It's not like I have many options, you know..." The boy frowned but then made it so their fingers crossed and put his other hand on top of that. It was so cute, Esma blushed immediately. Those little signs of support were there always.

"I forgot how rude you can be. In my memories, you were nicer." The girl hid her sight and chuckled quietly, making the boy realize, what he had just done.

"Aha, you wish. After you've been ignoring me for a whole week?" He took one hand away but didn't let go of her. "I'm not the one to be jealous but you know, you never told me you will be in an academy full of strong dudes with superpowers." The boy spoke calmly with an itsy bit of jealousy in his voice.

"Strong dudes with superpowers... Really?" Esma couldn't help but smile. The boy really was open to her with everything that ever bothered him.

"Have you seen Kermit? The dude is ripped! He has a body of a Greek God." Dan spoke with a lot of admiration, making the girl giggle like a little kid.

"You are adorable..." She sighed and suddenly fell into his chest.

"And Kotaro, right? That dude is huge... How is he living like that?" Dan continued putting more examples of people he thought were somewhat a threat but an incredibly handsome one. The boy pulled her closer and rushed his fingers through her hair, making her shiver a bit.

"With his head in the clouds," Esma spoke directly into his chest, waiting for his reaction.

"Terrible as usually but I appreciate the try." He spoke just as calmly, realizing, that was supposed to be a joke.

"Who could have thought they'd lock me up completely." The girl rested on his chest as he continued his sight moves to make her more comfortable.

"You did attack a person during the tournament. Oh, sorry... a sorcerer." Now Dan was serious about his words. He really did care too much.

"That's right... Dan, I'm so sorry for all this." Esma separated herself and glanced him directly in the eyes, trying to make her apology as sincere as possible.

"I've talked to Ruth and Mike. They explained everything to me. I was angry but now, I understand." The boy knew exactly what she tried to do and then tilt her head a bit by the cheek, rushing his fingers through her neck.

"You talked to Mike?" Esma got a bit surprised as the masked boy usually never spoke to strangers like that.

"Rather I caught few completely disgusted glances from him... They told me, you left a phone back home and that's why couldn't contact me." Dan shrugged, remembering it and the girl chuckled again.
