Andria’s POV
The morning bell rang as I arrived at the school entrance. It was ti for morning classes as usual. The wounds I got from my encounter with the vampires had healed, and I was fit to resu courses again.
Becca, on the other hand, hasn’t fully healed, but she was much better than the morning after the incident.
Becca had to stay with at the successor’s place to heal up. The elections were postponed to enable to campaign due to my days lost to treatnt.
Tracy was stopped from campaigning since she was a suspect. The school council was detaining her, and soon the hearings will start.
Investigations were still going on, and I would have to testify to the school council after classes today.
Everyone was staring at very suspiciously, and I could hear their loud whispers.
Two female students, together with Alexa and Tricia, walked up to as I was getting my books from my locker in the locker room.
"I heard that you were abducted and beaten to unconsciousness by vampires. How co you are back to school so soon?" one of the girls asked, blocking from making any further movent to my class.
These she-wolves were Tracy’s soldiers, seeing that they were suddenly following Alexa and Tricia all around school and had been aiding Tracy’s campaign so far.
"It’s quite unfortunate that you two wish that I’ll never wake up again, but here I’m awake and attending classes, so now would you excuse ?" I snapped back at them.
"Hey, hold on, I know that you are having a lot of rivalry going on between you and Tracy, but is it enough to fra her?" the other girl asked, rolling her eyes at .
I let out a loud laugh. How can these two be so ignorant or pretentious? It’s either that they are unaware and backing up the wrong tree, or are aware of the sche and just acting out.
They appeared agitated by my laughter. The first one drew closer to . "What’s so funny about your devices? No matter how hard you try, Tracy will still win this election."
"Ok, so you an that I had to fake my bruises, Becca’s injuries, which had not healed even up till now, missing classes all for what? So that she can miss the election or what?" I shot at them, I was already very agitated at these two little minion wanna-be.
"I know you, Aria, you are desperate most tis when you want sothing. Take, for instance, you wanted to seduce the Alpha successors, so you decided to move into their dorm." As the words left Alexa’s mouth, there were gasps and jeers.
The female locker room was beginning to get rowdy. How can these people decide to make the first day I return from an incident that nearly cost my life, a show day for them? Always seeking highlights.
Athena beca restless and angry, threatening to take over. "Say that one more ti, I’ll teach your tongue a lesson. I guess you have forgotten easily because I have been away for a while," I growled as I advanced towards Alexa.
Alexa drew back as I advanced. I could see the fear in her eyes. Athena was satisfied with that expression, because instantly she cald down.
"I’ll see that Tracy is vindicated and she campaigns for these elections and wins them," Tricia said.
"Well, that’s not going to happen, at least not when I’m alive," Liara said as she walked into the locker room as if she owned it.
It had been a while since I last saw her. The two female students turned to see the princess. I could tell that they were surprised that the princess had my back.
"Oh, the princess," one of the clueless girls started, "Aria is such a threat to the school, can you believe she would go to the extent of framing her election rival so she can win the election?, That’s peak desperation, and you shouldn’t be backing her up."
"I can see that you are clueless, or stupid enough to think that soone will be desperate enough to miss classes, get hospitalized at dawn just to win an election. What about the pictures taken of her beaten-up form at the dungeon, or you haven’t seen it yet?" Liara asked them in an Icy tone.
This was the first ti I was seeing the princess in this state of anger; she was usually nonchalant, and they must have hit a nerve.
"I suggest that you four clear the way now, I have classes to catch up to rather than these small chit chats and banter.
The princess also gave them a look, and that made them disappear.
Liara rushed up to and embraced with a warm hug. "How do you feel now?" she asked with a concern-laced voice.
"As you can see, I’m attending classes today, and that’s so huge progress."
"You are lucky to have healed faster. I heard that Becca suffered a less severe injury, yet you healed faster. Is there so trick or sorcery in there?" she teased, slightly hitting my elbow with hers.
But as soon as the words ca out of her mouth, my mind raced back to the nightmare I had. I was half-vampire, so my healing rate is usually faster, seeing that it was vampires that attacked us.
The princess sounded smart; therefore, she thinks deeply, and she might as well find out so day about this. Well, let’s hope she doesn’t.
"I couldn’t co to see you during your healing process. I hope you forgive ," she said with pouting lips.
"I know you didn’t co because you were busy doing the job ant for four just to ensure my campaign goes on, you don’t have to worry, I know you care."
Her face lit up as if I offered her a candy.
As we got into the classroom, everyone were in gossip groups as usual and from the look of things and so loud whispers, they were talking about the incident with the vampire, so were saying that I frad it to get the Alpha successor’s attention, so that I could stay over at their house since they pursued the last ti I moved in with them. While so said that Tracy was my election rival, so I wanted to see her lose so bad that I almost committed suicide.
So sensible students were wise enough to weigh the possibilities of such rumors that had been spread, and I know the originators of such lies.
And if I kept quiet, these lies might just keep festering. I walked to the class stage to clarify them.
"There will be a hearing at the school council after classes today, If you want to clear your doubts or know the real truth instead of digesting rumors, I suggest you co for it, I would be showing you so exhibit in my defense, so that next ti you don’t spread news that you are not sure of," I said, before stepping down and heading to my seat.
Liara winked at from her seat as she unpacked her books. She was certainly impressed with my speech, and if she were closer to , she might have given a high-five.
The class grew quiet after my speech, but as soon as Tristan and Aven walked in, they started whispering to each other once again, but this ti in admiration.
They always get the positive popularity, while I get the negative popularity. Maybe I was jealous of my mate, a slight smile ambushed my face at the thought of being envious of them. I have never seen a reason to be jealous of any individual up until now.
"You left the house without letting us know," Tristan said in his usual controlling tone.
"I didn’t know that I had to take permission before I left your house, Daddy," I snapped back at him. I won’t let him use that tone on .
"It’s common courtesy, Aria, you let us know you are leaving the house, since you stayed over at our place, we are responsible for you," Aven explained, his voice sounding like he was masking the anger that was brewing within him.
"Well, I’m sorry that the sa alarm that woke up didn’t do the sa for you two, and I even dared to wake Damon who slept on the couch, and yet he didn’t flinch, I knocked on Aven’s door expecting him to wake up, since he seed like he is the most aware of you three, but he didn’t budge."
I paused to take breaths. "Oh, Tristan, you were nothing to write ho about. You were the second person I tried waking imdiately after I left Damon’s room. You were passed out on the living room’s sofa, and my attempt to wake you up failed."
I paused to make sure the words I said had registered. "So tell , how was I to tell you three before I left your house?" I looked around, noticing Damon wasn’t with them, "Besides, where is Damon?"
