Mystic Academy

Apologizes

Bronson's POV.

After Chermaine and Crystal left the room, I let out a big sigh...

Bronson: I screwed up...didn't I?... And here I thought Crystal could swim but instead she nearly drowned because of me...

Benjamin: Hey don't blame yourself.

Bronson:.......... 

Ernest: It's not entirely your fault, we're all in this so don't put all the blame on yourself.

Bronson: But this was my idea...my stupid idea...

Marcus: Hey don't think too much! It's not fault so you need to stop blaming yourself! You got to stick it together!

Bronson: You know what? You're right! The past is the past, I can't change what happened but in the very least I need to apologize to her.

Marcus: Now that's what I'm talking about! *hit my left shoulder *

Bronson: Ouch! That hurts! A lot!

Ernest: Hmm? That's strange... You usually can withstand it even as a human boy...

Benjamin: Let me see your arm.

He  took my arm and lift up my sleeve.

Benjamin: What happened?

Bronson: What do you mean by what happened?

I walked towards a mirror on the wall and lift up my sleeve. I saw that there are four distinctive nail marks like someone squeezed my arm really hard earlier and then I remembered the incident earlier...

Earlier at the pool...

Bronson: Yes! I manage to grab her hand! (Thinking)

Crystal: Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! (Screaming)

Crystal turned around and I smiled at her hoping that she would realize that this is just for fun to get her into the water, or so this is what I thought...  before we hit the water she grabbed me by my left shoulder with her free hand, pulling herself closer to me.

Bronson: What the?... what is she...she...she's trembling? (Thinking)

SPLASH!

But when we were in the water, she started to panic at first I thought she was faking it but a moment later I changed my mind  because she suddenly grip me even harder by my hand and shoulder. She dig her nails into my skin!

Bronson: Urgh! It hurts! Does she have to dig her nails into my skin?(thinking)

I notice that she was running out of air, she was gripping on to me but she released her grip on me a while later. She began to struggle a lot as she  paniced. I tried holding her but she keep refusing my touch and pushed me away.

Bronson: I'm trying to save you! You idiot! Stop pushing me away! (Thinking annoyingly)

I was having a hard time trying to calm her down and thankfully the guys came to MY rescue in time.

Benjamin and Marcus both grabbed her arms while Ernest and I tried grabbing her legs. But in the mist of all this chaos she suddenly freed herself (Man...I have to admit, I have never encounter a girl this strong and STUBBORN... ) she was holding her throat with painful expression and she just stopped moving and started sinking down into the bottom of the pool, Ernest swim towards her and carried her bride-style. He then swim towards us and give a Thumb's up Sign and we nodded.

Note: Swimmers/Divers both use the Thumb's up Sign to indicate to others that they're going back up to the surface of the water.

We got up to the surface of the water and quickly set Crystal down on the floor, Chermaine came running up to us looking worried.

Chermaine: Is she gonna be alright?

She was barely conscious, but she managed to open her eye lids just a little...

Ernest: Hey! Are you ok?

Ernest slapped her cheek but it didn't help at all as she begin to lose conscious.

Ernest: Damn it! We're losing her!

Benjamin: We need to get the water out of her!

Chermaine: Crystal! Stay with us!

Marcus: I don't think it's gonna work, although we called the school doctor and nurses, they will at least take a few minutes to reach here and we need to perform CPR on her before  it's too late!

Everyone: CPR!!!!!

Marcus: Do anyone know CPR!

Everyone just shook their head...

???: Why don't you let me?

Everyone turn around to see him offering his help.

Chermaine: YOU?!

Flashback ended....

Bronson: It's nothing *I put my sleeve down and turn towards the guys* It'll heal anyway and probably by dinner there won't even be a scar so let's just go back to our room. Man! I'm totally into the mood of taking a shower.

Benjamin: True, we shouldn't be worried and besides you have healing properties in your blood thanks to our powers.

Marcus: Hey less talking and start walking, I want to shower too, you know.

And with that the guys made their way back to their Dorms.

During Bathing time...

Benjamin and Marcus went to bath first, Oh if you are not aware of this, the four of us are sleeping in the same dorm room, our dorm are much bigger than the rest so it was ok and it consist of two bathroom anyway.

Bronson: Hmm...how am I gonna approach her later?

I was standing in the showers washing my hair when all sorts of questions came popping into my mind.

Bronson: Hi Crystal, are you fine? Sorry to have scared you, hahaha.... no I can't do that, it'll just make me look like a jerk even more..... then how about... Hey, Crystal sorry that you couldn't swim.... no! That came out very wrong!.... Hey, Crystal sorry about earlier, will you forgive me for what happened... but... what if she don't forgive me!? Or even worse... she might not even remember a thing....

Ernest: Hey Bronson! If you're going to apologize in the bathroom, could you do it quietly? We can hear you from the other side. (Shouting from the other side)

Bronson: Oh sorry!

After bathing I plopped down onto my bed feeling exhausted... I didn't want to move and so I just slept right there.

At 6:55 pm...

???: Hey Bronson wake up!

Bronson: Hmm? *opening his eyes just a little*

I saw Ernest and the others smiling at me. I sat up rubbing my eyes.

Bronson: Good morning...

Benjamin: Good morning! Now shall we eat dinner?

Marcus: Come on! Let's go already! I'm starving!

Ernest: Yea, let's just go.

Bronson: Yea! Let's go!

Crystal's POV.

Chermaine: Hey Crystal we should be going already.

I nodded while taking my mini white board and marker cause I might need it so I decided to bring it with me and went to the cafeteria for dinner. Yes in this school life can be luxurious... I mean we have our own dorms which means we have our own privacy, breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided everyday, we have free period everyday as well, what's not to like about this school? Nothing! This school is the best! And some more the whole school is air-conditioned. And you can have pets! What! It definitely can't get any better than this!
