Elemental Academy

Chapter 9 - The Train

**Edit**

Skylah felt incredibly guilty after what she just did. Her body was laying next to a naked Drake, who was smirking.

"I–I got to go!" Skylah stood up and tried to walk out of Drake's room, but her arm was grabbed by Drake. "Let go of me!" she tried pulling her arm away, but of course Drake's strength was holding her back.

"Not until you hear me out."

Skylah stopped squirming for freedom. She stood there, looking at Drake. Skylah couldn't believe what she just did. Her body was like the Titanic going under, destroying love as it pleases.

"I will only leave Slayzes alone if you make this a monthly thing," Drake teaser, seeming evil-but handsome to Skylah at the same time.

Skylah stuttered. Should I do it? No way! But ... Skylah snapped out of her thoughts. She tried freeing her arm from Drake. "No way! You knew my deal! You said yes!" Skylah hissed.

"Whatever, I guess your little boyfriend won't be around much longer ..." Drake released Skylah's arm, letting her get dressed and ready to leave.

The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.

Skylah walked into Slayzes's house. Her head was pounding, she couldn't face Slayzes after what she did. It would be incredibly hard to do so. "Crap," she whispered as she took off her shoes.

Slayzes walked downstairs with Lucy. The two of them smiling like two old friends who had been separated, but somehow found each other.

"So how did it go?" Slayzes asked, grabbing Skylah's hand.

Many thoughts ran through Skylah's head. She felt like her head was going to explode. Feeling like she was getting a bit of a suspicion on her, Skylah reacted quickly.

"Great!" The girl's knees were shaking from fear. Fear of Slayzes finding out about the deal.

"Hey, are you OK?" Lucy asked, raising a brow and staring at Sklah's knees. "Did something go wrong with your talk with my brother?"

"How did you know about that?" Skylah asked, her body shaking tremendously.

"Sorry, Skylah, I had to inform her. It was nothing personal. Right?" Slayzes seemed like he was saying too much now. Even though he had barely spoken since he came downstairs.

"N–No! I am just really tired after walking." The girls reasons were believable enough. However, Lucy was getting a tiny bit suspicious.

Something was off about Skylah. Lucy knew that. She was sweating, and breathing quite quickly. It wasn't just a walk that made her shake.

"Well, I better get going. I need some sleep for tomorrow. We have to wake up at four in the morning if we want to catch that train." Lucy walked over to the door, but before she opened it she whispered into Skylah's ear, "I know something is up."

Skylah's heart jumped as soon as those words came out. Did Lucy just say that? Or was it really the truth?

"Bye guys!" Lucy waved her hand, acting like she didn't say anything at all just then. The two waved back and said goodbye, but Slayzes felt like something was up with Skylah.

"I guess we better rest too. Don't wanna miss that train tomorrow morning!" Skylah said, rushing her words so quickly Slayzes could barely understand.

Skylah tried rushing up to the spare bed room, but instead she bumped her head into Slayzes's chest. "Are you OK?" Slayzes gazed into Skylah's eyes. Skylah kept turning her head, trying not to face Slayzes or even look at him.
