The Elementals II: Knit of Fate

Sir George's Nuns

The program was immediately cut without a formal-proper ending ceremony. The Mrs. Yange together with some school officials left the scene and the VP for Academic Affairs gave a sort of warning for a closing remark.

“To all the visitors, we, Sir George representatives, are deeply sorry about the exhibited behaviour of some of our students. We assure you, it’s an isolated incident, a very isolated one.” He smirked, “So, that’s all for now. We have to deal with those students, properly...”

The crowd slowly thinned and we started making our way to the not so fully loaded exit door on the side.

“You know what, that kid has a point.” I told Remei.

“Don’t say those words here.” Remei shut me up immediately, “We shouldn’t. We can talk about it in our dorm.” Katy, Kathe and Lourette looked at me then raised their eyebrow at Remei.

Remei twitched a bit and said, “Oh yeah. We don’t usually invite a guy in our dorm.”

“What? You mean no guy around here has entered your room since then? You’re like running a congregation; Sir George’s Nuns.” I said as we went our way towards the not so distant dormitory.

“No.” Lourette said. “We’ve invited once Jaray in our room.”

“Not because we think Jaray is girl-like.” Kathe immediately followed in, laughing loudly and our inner-self rolling around the meadow, laughing madly...

Katy broke the moment and said, “It’s just that we’ve trusted him so well and we treated him like a real brother.”

They all smiled in agreement, “Like a really BIG-BIG brother to all of us.” Kathe gave a side comment, dilating her eyes like demonstrating how big Jaray is for their eyes. Haha.

I was just wondering am I not as big as Jaray??? Or they’re just so close to jaray that they can call him such and not the same way to me? Hmmm... I guess, the more you know the person and the closer you are to each other, the more you trust the person. It’s not the years of friendship that is counted or measured; it’s the depth of it.

We greeted the elevator lady a ‘Hi’ who gave us a smile and ‘Which floor Ma’ams and Sir?’ as replies. We said the usual, third floor and instead of going to their room, we sat on the very comforting ans stress-relieving sofas in the third floor lobby. I wonder if there are stress-relieving tablets built in these sofas or elementally engineered to massage you unknowingly.

 “This place...” Remei said looking suspiciously to all passing-by, “Is very much public to talk things about what Elly’s talking a while ago.”

“Well, if you continue acting very suspicious to the passers-by, I think it wouldn’t be hard to tell you were talking something top secret.” Lourette said then buried herself under a pillow and continued smiling at her cellphone screen.

Remei was sitting with Katy in the longest sofa while the three of us were sitting opposite them in a much smaller sofa. Renz and Louve left towards the little-city, they didn’t have chance to say goodbyes.

I inserted between the two ladies and said, “I guess, we should be a lot comfortable if we are to talk something about the government.” I said it quite aloud; Kathe and Lourette gave me extinguishing looks immediately, “Oh, Sorry. SO, why is it there’s something in that is in favour of what that troublesome student’s saying?”

Remei looked at Katy expectantly, “It is because, it’s true.” Katy said.

“Those who were on top, those who were doing the paperwork of establishing a friendly-elemental world know nothing of what‘s happening down here.” Remei started, “It’s just that, it’s a whole lot different world or scenario when they’re out in their offices.”
