L.Q High [Book 2]

---Special Chapter---

I live a luxurious and happy life, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I have a brother who cares so much about me; my mom and dad are rich too, and you can add that we had given a gift called magic. Magic is a great thing, and it led me to meet my best friend Astra—-who's my senior at school, and others that became lifelong friends. I'm okay with everything, and I was good with Kai and Astra's relationship. But not until—

"I'm going to abandon this life and go with Astra! I won't leave her because you told me to!" I could hear Kai's voice here outside of dad's office.

---My heart aches, knowing that he could abandon his life—that he could abandon me!

Every time I see Kai and Astra, my heart sank. He would abandon his family so that he could be with her.

When we're having family dinners, I will pretend that I wasn't there when they talked at dad's office and that I didn't put much thought until the day... he disappeared, and he'd leave me.

"I won't leave you, Nahla, promise!" He promised and broke it.

I hate him!

I learned about the black magic Meltune, and for a moment, I wanted to use it to destroy Kai and Astra. They were the person I loved and trusted the most, but they left without a single goodbye; they didn't even bother telling me about it!

In our year, we could attain the black magic--Meltune. Anger, resentment, and grief were those emotions that engulfed me, and I didn't know that those emotions could achieve and awaken that black magic.

I woke up one day; everybody hated me. I didn't know why.

I was surprised when I saw L.Q High having renovations on the destroyed buildings. And it's also the reason why students are ignoring me and my presence itself. I asked my dad, but he just told me not to worry. It made me more curious.

Then, a boy named Kaylo confronted me, and to my surprise, he wanted to tell me everything.

I cried and cried, not knowing that I caused all those troubles for dad and hurt all those people because of my emotions and the unpleasant feelings that I was feeling.

I hated myself.

Just after a few days, Kai and Astra went back to L.Q High, and yes, they resented me too. They said I was the reason for their son's death, and I couldn't be more hurt. I was the reason I didn't even get to meet my nephew, and the worst part is that I don't remember any of those.

When I graduated, Kaylo and I got married and started a family.

Kaylo is the only person I found rest. I could be myself when I'm with him. With him, I feel safe and secure. He loves me despite my flaws and mistakes; he also taught me that emotions could be a strength and a weakness.

As a job, I took over M.U High—a new school my father named me. Kai, as the eldest, took over L.Q High when dad wanted to retire.

All the years I've spent with Kai are gone and ruined.

All the resentment I felt disappeared when my baby boy Hiro was born. I felt like the luckiest mother alive. I was so happy that no one could ever ruin it.

We lived a simple life, running the school and playing with the sweet little Hiro and having late-night dinners with my husband.

Hiro's ecstatic, knowing he'll have a little brother when he is three. Contented with my life but changed after Wren turned one; Kaylo traveled in the non-magic world for some reason. My world crumbled when Kaylo returned, dead. They killed him! They killed my husband!

Because of the frustration and anguish I was suffering, I planned to destroy the non-magic world. And that day, Astra came to meet with me; she told me that I should let everything go. On that same day, I was so mad that I fused her with the bunny I saw and continued my plans.

I gathered teachers who wanted revenge, and those who disagreed faced wrath.

"Mommy," It was the 4-year-old Hiro walking to me with his little brother in his arms. I didn't want Hiro to see that I was weak, but I couldn't take it anymore. I tucked Hiro and Wren in my arms, crying and sharing the same pain.

I'm sorry, my babies, your mom is this weak.

I pulled myself up for my kids. I needed to be strong. I must.

It's almost the third death anniversary of Kaylo, but—all the emotions from 10 years ago—-when my brother left me behind resurfaced when I knew that Hiro's friend is named Quintin. What are the chances? I knew that it was my nephew. I knew I should separate them apart.

I did everything again like what happened in the past, but now—-I'm glad no one got hurt except for the people I fused with the creatures.  And I undid all of my magic from all those people, as well as Astra.

I feel so bad for Hiro, being the person I always lean on. I also feel bad for Wren; growing up, he never really met his dad. I've hurt my kids so many times without knowing my selfish wants.

I'll get out someday and be a proper mother and a better person for my kids. I'll start a new leaf with my family.

It's the True Untold Story.
