The Elemental Love

17 : My Chocolate cookies

SAPPHIRE's POV

The past days have been simply hellish for me. Firstly I don't remember anything after Arthur came to my room that night. It feels as if those memories have disappeared even from my subconscious mind. Not to embarrass myself I didn't dare to approach him and regretfully buried my curiosity.

Secondly my behaviour nowadays is detestable to even myself. I feel irritated all the time and always pick up fights on silly matters. Even the spell given by Lavia is not working for me anymore.

That's why I am wearing gloves nowadays and also avoiding touching anyone in fear that I will burn them.

I can't even be sad nowadays in front of others because it's affecting my powers and my body starts to glow with a melancholic light. I have also stopped dining with others lest I do or say something which may offend the King and Queen. Staying cooped in my room all day I am starting to feel like Elsa. I feel so bad for her now.

Currently I am munching on my cookies as I wait for Zoe. Lately while everyone is busy avoiding me Zoe is the only one who is here for me. Presently I am waiting for her to come back from the classes and give me the notes as I have been intentionally missing the classes.

I didn't want to but the stares I get from my classmates are unbearable. There are some rumours going around about me which I am sure has been spread by Charlotte.

For some I am a deranged witch, some are pitying me for the loss of my powers while the most vicious rumour says that I am turning into a varlet and connecting it to my kidnapping.

I don't even know how I am sitting so calmly with all those rumours going around. Truth be told from inside I feel numb as if these don't affect me. The normal Sapphire would have cried a lot and had tried to make amends but the current me is so shamelessly sitting here eating chocolate chip cookies.

Life is so chaotic but I find myself sitting here enjoying my chocolate cookies.

I turned around taking a bite as the door creaked open. Zoe closed the door behind her. She was still wearing her uniform.

''Ugh today was the worst class ever. Madame made us wrote so many things'' slumping on my bed.

I took the notes from her hands and flipped the pages to see that madam has indeed given us much to write.I still haven't completed my essay on the use of invisible magic without anyone seeing.

I kept down the books knowing all I can do is write these theories as am too retarded to even do basic magic; these advanced magic is just impossible for me.

''Hey will you be attending classes from tomorrow?'' Zoe asked, raising her head from my duvet.

"Maybe'' I answered, offering her a cookie.

''Sapphire!! this won't do, I am missing my happy and healthy bestie, why are you sitting as if your world has turned upside down'' Zoe said munching on her cookie aggressively.

''It has in a way'' I answered half heartedly knowing I can't tell her what is actually happening with me.

''That's it, get ready! you are coming down with me for lunch. It's unhealthy to stay at one place for so long'' she said, pulling me up.

''Fine, let's get over it'' I said and Zoe released me.

''Good now wait for me here, I will just get ready and come to take you'' Zoe said, squeezing my shoulder gently and went away.

Dragging my feet towards the bathroom I rinsed my face with water. I could see dark bags underneath my eyes. My face looked as if it had lost all it's shine.
