Azel’s speech had left us all speechless. The principal didn't know how to behave and an endless silence surrounded the room.
"Azel, why are you so stubborn?" asks Selene in an uncertain voice.
He turns and looks at her with a furious frown. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so stubborn, obstinate and hateful. If somebody doesn’t stop him here, it’ll be a big crash! I think nervously and surprised by his behaviour.
"Azel! These are the rules. If you don't obey, I will not admit you, so you need to think about it" intervenes severely the principal.
For the first time since I saw him, his expression changed. From impassive he becomes thoughtful as if a distant past afflicts him and does not stop tormenting him.
"All right" he convinces and then snorts.
Selene reads in her eyes and strangely I want to be there in his place. Why do these thoughts come to me? Why does that boy have this effect on me??! Why does my heart beat when I look at him? Why do I think his voice is melodious even with that pinch of coldness? What is this feeling that makes me tremble? I don’t want it to be love... I don’t want to fall in love with him! For the moment, I'll wait I reflect bitter and confused to the end.
The list goes on until, finally, my turn comes. I head to the back of the room and let my future be read even though I know she won’t succeed.
I’ve been standing still for about twenty minutes with my eyes fixed on her but, I know, something is not going well. She does not raise her pen to write and her eyes do not take on that particular colour when she exercises her powers. I notice the principal looking at me in a strange way and I start to feel uncomfortable.
"I’m sorry" Selene says, bitter and I understand why. I look at her upset as if I had done something, making the anxiety take over me. "I can’t read your future because, every time I try it, I don’t understand the things that will happen to you! It’s as if someone or something is changing your timeline" I look at her intimidated and don't respond.
"Never mind! Go back to your seat" the principal exclaims in a reassuring tone. I proceed to sit down and everyone gives me a look of doubt and something else I can’t decipher. It seems like fear, but maybe I’m wrong.

An hour later the principal and Selene have finally finished with the names and are announcing in which *teams we will be.
I’m in Black Jack and fortunately, there is also Nick. As for Azel, I seem to have understood that he is with the Astrals. The other teams are Blue Baire, Veggenti, Futuristi and Faire Fox.
For the classes, I will have to go and inform me since they have recently been displayed on the boards outside the auditorium. Instead, to know who I will be in the dormitory, I have to wait until this evening. I hope to not be with Azel otherwise it will be trouble for me and my poor heart.
"Hey! I guess you and Azel were the ones who caused the most fuss in there, today" Nick exclaims amused as we leave the classroom.
"I didn’t want to create problems..." I reply trying to minimize the thing. I’m saying it! I don't want to create problems but I know they will come anyway... I consider it bitter.
"You’re always the same! Instead, you need to brag about your exploits!" he says, giving me a pat on the back.
Nick is a very eccentric person and, on many occasions, he has always defended me and helped me. Even if he doesn’t realize it, I value him as a person. Because of his size, he sometimes looks like a bully, but he is the most honest and sweet guy you can meet. He often wears black and I must admit that his tough looks and cocky attitude made it easy for him to integrate into society.
And, to be precise, he is the best friend that many would keep and I feel lucky to have him.
Welcome to the second chapter! What can I say, we never stop bugging you!😊
Let’s review the story, for a moment.
Azel, before following the rules, was thinking about someone or something. Who knows what it will be? Selene could not see the future of Yuma. What will this mean? The teams have been formed. What will happen now? And who will be Yuma’s companion in the dormitory? You will find out in the next chapter🤗
See you next time😘
A cold and calculating mind, tired of his life. We are talking about a boy who does not believe in love and has nothing to lose. In his nth year of magic, things will change once he meets the one who will teach him that the world is better if you find someone to share it with.
