Elemental Academy

Chapter 28 - Term Four Upon All

Hello! I am back with another chapter and it was posted much earlier than I expected it to be! So HOORAY! However, I went long into the nights until the early morning so if there are a few mistakes please don't be shy to correct me. I am only twelve and I do have school right now so I am having a bit of trouble keeping up. But I really wanted this chapter out early so here it is!

Slayzes opened the house door and went upstairs. It was about nine o'clock at night and Slayzes's shoulder was a bit sore. He was stumbling a bit but he was trying his best to hide it.

"I'm home," Slayzes said loudly. The lights were on in the lounge room and kitchen so Cathy must of been awake. Slayzes stumbled into the kitchen and opened up the fridge.

"Good evening," Cathy murmured, surprising Slayzes.

"Oh ... Hi!"

"Have you been drinking?" Cathy asked as she stood up.

"I only had a bottle of beer ... or two" Slayzes answered dishonestly. He actually had five, but he wasn't going to tell Cathy that. Especially with what happened last night. Slayzes grabbed a bottle of beer out of the fridge and looked at Cathy. He also wasn't going to say that he was at a party for a while.

"Doesn't sound like just one or two. Sounds like you had around six or seven. Wait - is that a ... TATTOO?" Cathy asked in shock.

Slayzes looked at the top of his right bicep. "Oh yeah. I just got it," he said in a happy voice. It was a small fireball in black ink with a flame surrounding it.

"So you just decided to get a tattoo?" Cathy asked, her voice getting angrier.

"It's just a tattoo," Slayzes chuckled. He wasn't getting why Cathy was so mad. He chose to get the tattoo, there was nothing wrong.

Cathy sighed and shoved her face into her palm. She stared at Slayzes for a second and then said, "We'll talk about this tomorrow. Please go to bed."

"Sure," Slayzes replied. He started walking to his room until he was stopped by Cathy. "Yes?"

"Beer please," Cathy said. She looked at the beer in Slayzes's hand and put her hand out.

"Fine," Slayzes sighed and he gave Cathy the beer. He walked into his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed. He was exhausted, so he didn't bother to even take his boots off. Plus, that party was way too crazy but at least he had fun with a few of his old mates.

When Slayzes woke up the next morning his head was pounding and he felt like he was being blinded by the light. He stood up and looked for a pair of sunglasses. He found a pair and put them on, which helped slightly.

Slayzes walked into the lounge room and smelled a fragrance that made him feel sick. He quickly ran into the bathroom and threw up in the sink. He stayed in the bathroom for the next ten minutes continuously throwing up and then when he felt a tad bit better he walked back into the lounge room.

Cathy was sitting at the table talking to a lady Slayzes had seen once or twice. But he had forgotten who she was, or what her job was. He felt like he knew these things but couldn't same them for some reason.

"Morning," Slayzes mumbled when he sat down on the couch. He immediately slouched down on the couch.

"Uh ... Slayzes, this is a friend of mine. Her name is Abby. She is a therapist," Cathy said.

"Hi, Slayzes," Abby said clearly.

"Hi - um why do you need therapy?" Slayzes asked, sitting up.
