"Controlling! Your emotions can highly affect your powers either badly or usefully! Your message has been sent to everyone on campus within an approximately 300-meter radius! You know what I heard ? Students being confused about hearing the same thing . Our powers cannot be suspected . You are endangering your life if an authority figure knew about this ."

...I certainly didn't know I could even do that...
How stupid of you , Elena . Here I am , causing yet another major problem . I just want to get this over with . After I'm done with my exams , no more disguising and no more hiding , I'll visit that school as promised and head to Germany to stay with my brother .
"...I'm sorry...Not gonna happen again.." I said ,  looking down on my feet like a guilty child..
"Can we take a revision session now?" I asked , turning my attention away from Cameron who looked like a total outsider now .
  And he never moved an inch .
"Sure.." Professor Xavier can sense the tension in the air and moved ahead of us , "I'll be there at the office ."
  I immediately jogged after him , not waiting for Cameron to react . I was so , so mad of what he has told me that I didn't want to even look at his face .
 
  "If anything like that ever happens again , I'm sorry but I'll have to take you to the school by force ." Professor Xavier admitted , with a look of guilt over his face .
"I understand..." Of course I totally refused to stay there but it's his job to protect us even though nobody asked him for it .
  "Are you ready for the session ?" He asked , clearly aware that I'm in a terrible mood . However , I shrugged everything off . I need to focus now for Kyle .

...

"Give her a rest , man!" Erik jumped into the room giving the handle a squeeze which...kinda bent it..
I've been  studying for five hours without  a single break . Mr.Xavier has done quite a splendid job with maling me feel confident about the upcoming exams . I may not get A+ or a full 100% mark but I can get an acceptable passing score .
  "Hey! Mr.-"
"Puh-lease , girl . Just go with Erik , alright ?"
I nodded , mouthing 'Erik' to assure him I got it .
"So do you guys want to have some time alone or...?" He asked , a huge sneaky grin plastered over his face .
My face immediately turned to bright red and I had to look away so that no one would notice .
"Oh , see she's bl-"
"Erik! Do NOT tell him!"
I shouted in his head and he smiled to himself . Mr.Xavier knew something was going on but Erik looked away preventing eye contact to happen and I chose to block my thoughts .
"Mmm that's fishy" he chuckled  and placed his hand on my small back . "Go have some rest . You're more than ready and you still have two more days to revise more and more . Don't stress yourself , it'll be aright . Trust me ."
I nodded , feeling the warmth of his hand and his reassuring eyes . He really was the one who helped get through this . And I'll be forever grateful .

"Thank you!" I hugged him, my smile extends from ear to ear . He deserved it and more! I should make some surprise to him! Maybe I'll ask Erik about what he loves the most and get him a present!

  I could hear Erik's snickers from behing , seemingly enjoying himself about God knows what . A moment later , I felt his hands around the both of us .
"Yay , group hug!"
Mr.Xavier playfully groaned then we broke up the little hug .
"Bye!" I waved and got out of the office .

"You like her , don't you?"
"Shut up , she's still out you Moron."

My heart stopped when I heard what Erik and the professor said after I was out . I really wanted to know what his response would be...
But why was I so curious ?
...Did I..like him..?
I was too distracted by Kyle's future to think about anything else . In fact , speaking of Kyle , I need to call Ian and ask him about how he is .
  I locked the room's door behind me and threw myself on the bed . Of course , as usual , Cameron wasn't here . I couldn't sense his presence at all either so I don't think he is invisible . Something by the bedpost caught my eye and sat up to take a better look . It was a carton box which had the bakery's name on it...
Was that the..
I flipped it open and saw the chocolate cake with strawberries on it . Man , how am I going to stay mad at Cameron that way ?
He's making it so , so hard!
 
  I just realized I need a shower...I was soaked in sweat..I cannot use the showers now when everyone is around at that time . I take off my shirt -only in my tank top now- then used it as a fan to my face , shaking it back and forth . I ruffled my fair and huffed in frustration .
Should I go on for a bald look or what ? Even short hair isn't helping with this heat .
Of course sweat pants were not helping at all .
I was starting to take them off to change to shorts when-
"Wait!"
Startled by the sudden yell coming from nowhere , I screamed and jumped off the bed twisting my ankle .
Ouch , that really hurt , dammit!
