Where were we? Oh right, that part...

I honestly didn't believe that such a thing would ever happen to me in my life. Also because it's not like I understood exactly what happened. I'm sure I walked into that room a few hours before lunch... So why was it dark?

Maybe I actually had to open my eyes, what a moron. I was self-sabotaging.

I had fallen asleep for a few hours.

How did I fall asleep? Oh my God! No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No

I suddenly got out of bed. I was really in there! I looked around to see if it was still there, nothing. There was no trace of her. Precisely in these moments that I tend to question my sanity, it takes time to not be sure that I am living in reality. And only it all seems so absurd to me. Then this in short, is rather embarrassing ...

I was starting to calm down as I got out of bed and looked for the rest of my clothes scattered here and there, when at one point I saw a paper note on the bed.

I looked around again. It was handwritten. I watched him for a while. Said:

- Library of Good. Tomorrow at 4. Don't be late princess.

L.L.

What did he mean? Thing... Oh my God! What the fuck is happening to me? I'm smiling like an imbecile. Billions of questions, doubts and fears came into my head. Only at that same moment the first images of what had happened before I fell asleep reappeared...

Two hands on my hips, one breath. Two beautiful, manicured hands moving on me.

I shook my head, I couldn't do it mentally. I ran away from the room, tried to show myself as little as possible, and while my head was on fire, I almost thought it would explode as I walked to the castle of good.

Luckily I had arrived just in time for lunch, I don't know if this time I would have been able to remain impassive in front of Clarissa. I loved her, she was becoming like a sister to me. Precisely for this reason I could not possibly tell her what I was getting myself into. Even though I didn't fully understand what was going on either. It had all happened so fast that I hadn't even had time to digest what I was doing.

"Cher! I'm here!" shouted Clarissa from a corner of the room as I wandered in search of her. Strangely enough, she didn't ask me anything, then I reflected on the fact that he thought I had taught in the classes of the other school. She could not suspect anything that had actually happened.

While I was eating I realized I was being watched, I looked at myself in tone but saw no one. Then, as soon as I remembered who it could be, I looked at the table of the professors of evil and I looked at it too. It is not that she deigned to give me a real look, it was one of her impassive glances in which for the first time, however, I saw something different. Something that confirmed to me that I was not crazy or suffered from some psychological disorder (to which, as I said, I was considering the possibility just before) but that I had actually fallen in love.

Other memories resurfaced, until I realized I remembered everything. To the smallest detail.

Fuck, I didn't think I'd ever say something like that, but it was cool.

I had fallen in love with a woman who most likely played with me as if I were her pawn. I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it. This was not one of the bloody battles with the sword that I had always had, this was an inner battle, a battle of mine, more mine than ever.

"Why are you so quiet?" I asked Clarissa noticing her unusual mutism. "I'm tired dear" "The school year has just begun and I already have so many things to do... I'm surprised that you're not" she said, in a more pungent tone toward the last sentence. I tried not to speak but Clarissa insisted on my tiredness, according to her, non-existent.

"What are the students from the other school like? It must be really bad to teach restless souls," she said at one point, noting that I had made no mention of commenting.

As if I had taught the students, I had already met them from afar. The first time I walked in there I was lucky to come out unscathed. The second is better not to comment on it. In short, I had not even given half a lesson to those guys.

"Yes more or less" I replied to Clarissa after a while. "Is that all?" I was starting to worry seriously, so I tried my typical move, the change of speech. "Yes, could you give me the timetable of my lessons here? Because I have no idea what to do during the day" "Yes, of course I'll give you a copy later" "After lunch you have a lesson" she said, regardless of the fact that she deflected her question. Luckily lunch ended quickly and I managed to escape Clarissa quickly. As I walked through the corridors I glanced at my schedule. I had a free hour. Exactly at 4 o'clock. I begin to doubt that this woman knows more than I do.

The two lessons I had after lunch were very quiet, I met new boys, some terrified of everything around them, while others were more fearless, sure of them and their future. Sure that one day they would marry a beautiful princess and go to live in a castle together, it is useless to explain to them that their life will not necessarily go as they imagined it. But even if I don't know if I can restrain myself, it is not within my competence to explain it to them.

I stood at the door of the huge library of good, something that normal people cannot even imagine, huge shelves full of books, the most beautiful books I have ever seen. I tried not to get distracted by looking around, but being a great fan of books I could not in my intent. I grabbed a book I had spotted and leafed through it, I was now in a state of extreme concentration for every detail that the book presented.

"Hey"

I gasped. A muffled laugh was heard behind me. I turned around.

Obviously she was there, I almost had a heart attack, who had heard her coming?

"Do you enjoy scaring me?" I asked, looking at her again with my heart in my throat.

"Yes" strangely she smiled again. In my head I began to ask myself a question, a question that would haunt me for a long time.

She liked me or... Was there anything I didn't know?
