Grim Tales: Devil's Fear,part 11

Grim Tales: Devil's Fear,part 11 (Hello everyone! Although this isn't a very exciting part,it's important. Lately I've been really tired and stressed so idk if it'll be good or not..)

---Moving on---

The students who fought cleaned up and changed clothes. The teacher takes the class to another room and makes everyone practice physical combat without weapons or super powers. After that,they practice sword fighting in pairs for a while. The professor gives the students some time to go change back into their school uniforms a few minutes before the bell rings.
Junior puts his hoodie on instead of his school jacket,"Do you think they'll mind?" he asks Alex,who was laying on his bed. "Naah,last time I checked simple hoodies are allowed,but most people prefer to wear the school uniform in their own style". "That's interesting,it's one of the things I love about this school,you can be your own person! Well...most of the time...it depends on the teachers",Junior chuckles. Alex sits up and laughs,"Man,tell me about it! At my last school,they were really f**king strict! Especially the teachers,they were all a**holes and kept yelling at us for dressing a little differently than the stupid dress code. Here they give us more free-",before Alex could finish his sentence,the bell rings. "Let's go to the campus", Junior suggests. "Alright,but I wanna check something on my phone,give me a few minutes". Junior shrugs, "Kay",he walks out,leaving the door open. "GET THE F**KING DOOR!",Alex shouts,Junior walks away laughing. "Son of a-",Alex creates a shadow claw with his powers and shuts the door.
Junior walks downstairs and looks around,looking for someone he knows in this mess of students going left and right or to the campus. "Hey Price!",Macy greets Junior,she was with Cat. "We're gonna go grab a snack,wanna come?", "Nah,I don't feel like eating...don't call me that!", Macy shrugs, "Your choice",she walks away with Cat. Junior was about to go outside to the campus. "Junior!",Minnie says in an excited tone. He turns around and sees his half sister walking towards him with Blair. "Finally! Wanna go to the campus?",the girls nod and they walk out together.
Minnie inhales and exhales,she looks around. It was indeed a beautiful day. The birds were chirping,the wind was blowing through the leaves of the trees and the students looked happy. "What an awesome day!",Blair comments. The three friends look around,they see Marilyn,sitting at a table with two classmates,waving at them. They walk towards the table and sit down.
"Hey guys!",Eline greets them.
Junior looks at Marilyn,she was wearing a scarf.
"It's a bit chilly today,isn't it?",he says to her.
"Just a bit,so I can wear this! Plus it matches my eyes and it's fashionable!~"
"You do have beautiful eyes",Minnie compliments her.
"Thanks! You too! Speaking of,well,you,you totally kicked Regina's a** today!".
Minnie giggles,"Can't deny that!".
"Regina's annoying,so I'm glad you did",Blair adds.
"Oh come on,Regina's not that bad. I've talked to her,I think she and you will be popular around here. You're both very social and cool. Though I admit Regina has her moments,don't we all?",Marilyn says.
Minnie rolls her eyes, "Well sometimes people take it way too far,it depends on the person and the situation".
"Welp,I like Regina and I like you guys too! That reminds me..",Marilyn looks at Minnie in a mischievous smile,"Do you like any guys here? Who's the hottest? Come on tell us,Princess~"
"Ugh,no-one? I don't know,everyone's pretty good looking",Minnie laughs out of awkwardness.
"D'aaww you're so adorkable~What about you Blair? You seem like the type of girl everyone loves,so you must have guys already dying over you!"
"Well,I don't have anyone in mind,like Minnie said,everyone's good looking".
"You know who I think is hot?"
"Alex?",Fleur cuts Marilyn off.
"Oh you know me so well!",Minnie,Blair and Junior look at Marilyn in silence.
"Whaaat? You can't deny it,he's hot!"
"He's an idiot",Blair rolls her eyes.
"I like him",Eline shrugs.
"He's a good friend,he's always been there for us",Minnie explains.
"He seems to have an awesome personality too. Your friendship seems really deep,all of you that is",Marilyn admits.
"Oh,that reminds me,check this out,I took a picture of Alex when he was sleeping and uploaded it on Eclissi!",Junior shows the girls. Suddenly,he gets a call. He takes his phone back,"Oh,well speak of the devil,it's Alex". He answers.
"Junior please get here"
"The dorm? I-is everything okay?"
"Yeah,just-just get here. I need to show you something"
Junior felt worried and nervous,"Alright,hold on". Junior hangs up. "Hey guys,I gotta go talk to him. See ya in a bit",Junior rushes off inside the building and goes to the dorm hall.
Junior opens the door. He sees Alex sitting on his bed and holding a small blue see-through bottle. It was almost full of pills. "Hey what's wron-..",Junior is shocked. "What!? Where did you get that!? I thought you were clean!".
Alex stands up.
"Wow,calm down! It's what's left...I kept it because I wanted to get rid of it with you or the others but I never got the courage too...and well...we're here...it's a new start and we're roommates...you're one of my best friends..can I trust you?",Alex asks,his eyes were full of honesty and stress. Junior nods.
"Alright,just calm down. Everything's gonna be fine. I'm proud of you,we all are. So,how are we gonna do it?"
"I'm not sure,I always used the ones I got. From what I know,we're supposed to crush them and make them unrecognizable,then we throw them away or flush them",Alex looks at the bottle he was holding in his hands,they began to tremble.
"I won't let you bring me down again,I won't let you be my death...",he whispers.
The day goes by,it was finally 13:35,the end of the school day. As the bell rings,all the students run out of their classrooms. Some go get lunch,others go to the campus or their dorms. Junior hears Alex humming a song as they were waiting for the others at the classroom door. "You seem a lot better now",Junior smiles,"I am! I finally got it off my chest! This week has been awesome!". "I'm starviiing",Minnie complains as she walks closer to her friends,"Saamee",Alex adds.
The next day the teachers announce that the students can all go back home to the weekend to see their families and tell them about their experience,like it always happens on the first week at the Academy. They also reminded everyone how every weekend the students can go out,but they must  return on Sunday night unless something happens.
Friday morning. Blair's alarm clock rings at 6:30 am,like always on school days. She opens her eyes,but Minnie wasn't sleeping on the other bed like always. Blair sits up,"Huh? Minnie?". She notices a note on Minnie's bed and walks over to it.
"I got up early today.
Don't look for me,I'll meet you guys later
-Minnie"
"Hm...alright...strange". Blair shrugs and gets ready for the day. She looks out the window,it seemed like a cold and cloudy day. She opens it and cold wind blows by,"Wow! Alright,yeah,I have to wear warmer clothes today". Blair finishes and goes downstairs to the dining room,she sees her friends,but Minnie wasn't there. She goes to get her lunch,Junior is standing next to her.
"Hey,where's Minnie?",he asks.
"I don't know,she left a note saying she got up early today and that she'll meet us later. Strange if you ask me"
"She got up early?! Sorcery!"
Blair giggles.
"Oh come on. Well,I'm not worried,I'm sure she's fine,she's a tough girl. What are you eating?",Blair asks as they walk towards their friends. "Just some bacon and...".
It was now time to go to class. "Is anyone absent?",the teacher asks. Everyone looks around. "Alraz and Minnie aren't here",a girl says. "Waiiit,the PRINCESS didn't come to class? Weird. I expected you royalties to be nerds",Kellin laughs. Junior rolls his eyes,smiling,"Oh knock it off". Junior looks out the window,"Although I do wonder why she didn't come..",he whispers to himself. "Looks like she's not that perfect after all!",Regina laughs,most of the class laughs with her,"Yeah,not a good Princess if you ask me!",Ada continues. Not many people laugh with that one. "Isn't that taking it a bit too far?",Eline asks,"Oh shut up it's just a joke",Ada rolls her eyes and smirks.
Minnie was walking through the school,in a quiet hall. Dressed in black and had her hands in her coat's pockets to keep warm. Her hair looked messier than usual and she had dark circles under her eyes again. It began to rain,she watches in silence.
"Skipping class?" an adult male voice says. Minnie felt like her heart stopped for a second,she turns behind her,terrified,and looks at who it was. Professor Maximilian.
"Oh!-ugh-um..".
The Professor chuckles.
"There's no need to be afraid. I will not tell anyone and will not force you to go back. I was a student too once,you know. At this same Academy. Things were much different back then,but I know the pressure one can feel. I don't know what's wrong,but just be careful and get some time to clear your head",he smiles. Minnie nods,"Right,thank you". They both part ways.
It was finally 2 pm. Everyone packed their bags and was waiting for their transportation. The train arrives,it suddenly appears in front of the school gates,and it looked like an old-fashioned one. "Oh,here's our ride! I can't wait! See ya guys later!",Cat says and gets on the train with her team.
"...What's with the train?",Junior asks when they leave.
"Trains like this were used a lot before the 90s to transport people. Then the high-tech train was invented. Looks like they could only afford this one today for some reason...or they just wanted to show us the magic train thing" Blair shrugs.
"So,are you excited for going back home?",Junior asks Alex. He shrugs.
"I suppose I am". Junior and the others could see something was wrong,but they couldn't put their finger on it. Wind blows by.
"Alex...I thought you were fine",Minnie says.
"I am!",Alex smiles,"Just a bit worried about going back"
"Oh!",his friends say,relieved. "What about you?",Alex asks,turning to Minnie.
"Huh?"
"Why did you skip school today?"
"I...um...was...bored. I did not wish to go"
"Is there something you want to talk about?"
Minnie looks at her friends,everyone was staring at her and waiting for an answer. She got nervous.
"Um-nope! I'm fine! Really!"
Junior sighs,"Fine...well when you want to talk,we'll all be here".
A big flying car stops in front of them. "Here's my ride! See ya guys later!",Alex waves goodbye as he puts his small bag at the back of the car and gets in. He sighs.
"Are you feeling alright,sir Alex?",the driver asks.
"Yeah,I'm f**king fine,can everyone please stop asking!? Just keep your eyes on the road....sky-road thing". The driver nods and keeps going.
Time passes. Everyone is driving home.
