Serena's POV
I was sulking at Calla's bed. Miss Scarlet just finished her announcement and she had instructed us to take a rest so we can have energy for tomorrow. Fortunately, our next training will be tomorrow. Miss Scarlet had offered me a place to stay but I declined. I prefer to sleep with Calla. Her queen-size bed can accommodate us both so. Also, Calla wanted us to stay together. Aya and Jas also wanted to join us but Miss Scarlet scolded them. She said we might be very noisy if we will stay in one room.
"Now, tell me why do you look like a child who is sulking there? What happened?" Calla ask as she sit infront of me. She had a popcorn at her lap.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "What's with the popcorn?"
"This?" She then raise the popcorn. "Nothing. I just feel like you'll about to tell me something interesting. Something like those cliche scenes on movies."
I raise my brow at her. She's unbelievable! I snatch the popcorn away from her and put it at the bedside table.
"What movies are you talking about?" I rolled my eyes at her and then I turned serious. "You told me before that we can block someone from reading our minds right? How do we do that?"
"Woah, easy there Serena" then she fixed her seating position. "Why? Did someone read your mind? Who?" she then looked at me curiously.
I shake my head violently. "Not gonna tell."
There's no way I'm gonna tell her that it's Jester! Until now, I don't wanna face him. I was thinking of how hot and handsome he looks earlier not knowing that he actually  knows what I am thinking. That explains why he keeps on smiling when we are talking earlier because he is actually reading what's going on my mind. What a shame!
Calla laid down at the bed after I said I won't tell her. And she covered herself in the blanket.
"Okay, since you don't wanna tell me, I'm not going to tell too how you will block someone from reading your mind. Mind your own business!"
I gasped in disbelief. "Yah! How could you?!"
"Blah! Whatever! I'm gonna sleep. Good night Serena!"
And she covered herself more. More like scoot more under the blanket so I could not see her. I facepalm and then I look at her. She doesn't want to tell me unless I'll tell her. I sigh.
"Fine. I'll tell you."
And as soon as I said that, she immediately raise from the bed and look at me with wide smile waiting for me to tell her the story. I slap her shoulders gently. Geez. This girl really.
After 20 minutes:
Calla was already sleeping after she teach me on how to block someone from reading my thoughts. I pouted as I look at her. I'm trying my very best to sleep but I ain't sleepy. I always use to stay outside our house to breathe air if I can't sleep. I look outside Calla's window. Is it safe to go outside though? I hesitated for a minute but I decided to go out. If I'll stay here, it might took forever for me to fall asleep. I slowly slid myself from the bed so I would not wake Calla up. And I slowly tiptoed my way out as silent as possible. When I was outside, I look around and no one is here. I facepalm myself. Ofcourse Serena, they were all asleep expect you. I slowly walk, making my way at the garden infront of Calla's room when someone held my hands from behind. And at the same time, Jester showed up infront of me.
"Yah! You scared the life out of me!" I was clutching my chest because of shock. What the. Why do he just randomly showed up?
"Sorry," he slowly laugh seeing how scared my expression are. "What are you still doing outside? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
I rolled my eyes and walked pass him. But he followed me. As I seat at the garden's brickwalls, he seated at my side.
"What are you doing here outside? Why aren't you still not asleep?" He ask repeating his question.
"How about you? Why are you here outside? And why are you here at Calla's room?" I accusingly stare at him.
"That was my room," he pointed at the room across Calla. "I'm about to go and sleep but I saw you."
I scratch my head in response. Sorry. My bad. I didn't know that is his room because what is he doing outside the room of..okay. I think I'm overthinking again.
"I can't sleep that's why I came here outside." I answered instead. Then I suddenly remembered what happened earlier.
"Yah! We aren't good!" I point at him and distance myself a little from him. You think I'll forget that! Amp.
He then laugh from my sudden outburst.
"Sorry about that" and then he laugh again.
I look at him while giving him a death stare. Is it right to laugh at me?! Hah! You can't read my mind ever again.
"Hey, I didn't mean to read your thoughts."
I scoffed. You think huh.
"It's true." He fixed his position and now he's facing me. "I only read your mind that time because your thoughts are so loud. Given that you are just beside me. I don't really read everyone's thoughts. I only use that during critical situations. It's just that I accidentally read your thoughts that time. I didn't mean to."
I look at him. See, his even making me the bad guy here.
I sigh. "Fine." I gave up. Wtf. Well, he has a point though. I can't blame him. I also hear what others say so. And that goes the same to him.
"Don't worry. I won't repeat that again." he then smiled.
"Okay. I was just shock when you said you can read my mind. You know, I even said a lot of things.." I said, purposely slowing my voice at the end of my sentence so he can't hear it. I am still ashame of that. Good thing, Calla thought me how to block. Better be safe than sorry.
He look at me confused. "What?"
"Nothing." Then I fix my position. "If your sleepy, you can go ahead. You said earlier, your about to go and sleep but then you saw me."
He wiggled his head. "Nope. I am not sleepy. I usually sleep late at night."
"Why is that?"
"Well, we usually had our late night trainings back then and maybe my body is used to me sleeping late that's why whenever I'll try to sleep early, though I can sleep but I always end up waking up early. Sometimes as early as 3am."
Woah. They even have night trainings.
"Do you have night trainings still until now?"
"No. We don't have." He laughed. "Many have filed a petition against that. Night trainings isn't effective to them that's why they changed it."
I nodded. "I would agree to that. I am not in favor of night trainings too. Nights are intented for us to sleep, not to train."
"And nights are intented for you to sleep, not to stay outside." And he pulled me. I pouted at him.
"You should sleep. How can you have the strength to kill those beasts tomorrow if you won't sleep early?"
Then I remembered our training tomorrow. Right, I almost forgot about that.
"You see, if you don't have enough strength tomorrow, the beast might eat you----"
I immediately hit his head. "Will you stop scaring me?! Thank you for making me feel good. That's a very good encouragement." I told him sarcastically as I rolled my eyes at him.
He chuckled. "Don't worry." Then he gently tap my head. "I am here."
Huh? I look at him dumbfounded. And he got that chance to pull me leading me to Calla's room. I heard that right, right?
"Wait, what did you just said?" I ask him after I recovered from the little shock I had because of what he said but instead of answering me, he gently push me inside. I didn't notice that he already opened the door.
"Now, go and sleep. You need that energy tomorrow."
He turned his back at me before I could even open my mouth to say something. I waited for him to reach his door. He turned around to face me again when he is already at his door.
"Right, I often hear that...." then he paused. I look at him confused. Hear what?
"That I am hot as always, thank you for that compliment Serena," he then winks at me as if enjoying the moment.
I was left dumbfounded and was to stunned to speak that he already closes his door and I was left stunned at our door.
CRAP! HE KNEW THAT? WHAT THE HELL?!!!
