Chapter 76: Emily's Ways

Emily's Pov

The lectures were becoming so boring, I was dozing and listening to the lecturer at the same time. “Hey you over there, it seems you are new, you haven't been listening to me. Stand up, I have a question for you.” Professor Emma said.

I grudgingly stood up from my seat. “What question do you have to ask me?”

She took a deep breath. “Okay, I hope you get it right. How exactly do witches make use of magic and spells to reconcile the idea of free will, which most people see as an outcome to control people's decisions?”

The question was quite a lot. Most of the students were already waiting for my downfall.

“Ma'am spells are used instead to influence energies or circumstances, you can't use spells to control one's emotion and magic can't be used to impose will on an individual, rather it is used to manifest a person's desire.” I said.

Professor Emma stood with shock. “Have you been reading ahead?”

“Yes.” I said, before sitting.

The class applauded. Professor Emma turned to Tiffany. “It seems like you'll be competing with her in this class. You should start taking your studies seriously because I feel she’s going to be ahead of you.”

Tiffany angrily walked out of the class.

Professor Emma words hung In the air as Tiffany walked out of the class. I felt pity for her.

Professor Emma dived deeper into her teaching. After the class Mason walked towards Vivian and I. “Hey girls, what are you up to.?”

“We're going back to the hostel.” I said.

He smiled. “Why don't we hang out before that?”

I almost said no but Vivian held my hand. “Alright, we'd love to.” she said.

We walked through the garden of the school. Mason chatted with us effortlessly as he pointed out different things as we walked. We chatted and laughed. The way Mason's eyes sparkled when he talked about music made me curious. “You know everyone saw you as a nerd when you moved to this school.”

“Really? Do I look like one.” I asked.

“Of course, the way you frown when you walk into the class and you were always alone with your ear pod on and you did a lot of weird things.” Vivian said, laughing.

I smiled. “Wow, I didn't know I was that bad.”

“Yeah, you didn't buy what you do now.” Mason said.

We sat on a bench surrounded with flowers. “Yoo, I wanted to ask Emily, what is your secret? You answered the question professor Emma asked In the class even when you were half asleep. How do you do it?” Mason asked, curiously.

“What makes you think there's a secret, I just got it, that's all.” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Well she reads ahead, she hardly sleeps and sometimes I wonder if the exam is tomorrow.” Vivian jumped in.

Just as we were still enjoying our conversation, Tiffany walked towards our direction with some of her friends who were still following her around like a bodyguard. She pushed me aside as she sat next to Mason. “That was rude Tiffany.” Mason said.

“My bad, I didn't know this was your spot Emily.” She said as her tone dripped with sarcasm.

“You can come and sit here Emily. There's enough space.” Mason said,

“No way, do you expect my friends to stand while this thing sits here.” Tiffany said, raising her eyebrow.

“Why are you acting rude huh?” Mason said.

Vivian stood up. “I think we should leave here, it seems someone thinks we want to steal her man when we have better things to do.”

“And who is talking? Hey Vivian you had no mind to talk to me when she was not in this school but you just did that, I will deal with you.” Tiffany said,

Vivian laughed. “You can say all you want Tiffany, I'm not ready for you today.”

“It was nice talking to you Mason.” I said, before we turned to leave. I can't believe Tiffany had the guts to push me to the ground, “I will teach her a lesson.” I muttered.

“What do you have in mind?” Vivian asked, curiously.

“You'll find out soon.” I said,

We walked to the hostel and I tried to locate Tiffany's room. She stays with her parents since they stay in Canada so she doesn't stay in the school often. She had her own special room which the school had given to her. “Who does that? Why will she be given a huge room like this because of her father's influence?” I muttered as we walked into the room.

Vivian was looking at me curiously wondering what I was going to do. I took a picture of her room. After that I brought out lots of needles from my bag. I removed the bedsheets and placed them on Vivians hand. “I wonder what you are up to, whatever it is, let's be fast before she comes in.”

I fixed the needles on her bed before covering them with the bedsheets. Vivian laughed, giving me a thumbs up. “How did you come up with this idea?”

“I don't know, I just thought of it, she won't mess with me next time.” I said.

We hurriedly left the room. We got to our room. “Oh my God, I was scared.” Vivian said, as she laid on her bed.

“You don't have to be, I can't just let her walk away after being so rude to me.” I said, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

“I love how crazy you are.” Vivian said, laughing.

After a while I pipped through the door as I watched Tiffany walking into her room. I followed her making sure I wasn't being watched. On getting to her door I opened it slowly as I watched her undress. She wore a short and singlet and was ready to climb her bed. It was properly laid. As soon as she laid on her bed she jumped from the bed shouting, I was already recording that. I quickly left before she noticed I was the one.

I closed my room door. I showed Vivian the video and we couldn't stop laughing. “This is crazy.”

I heard my phone buzzing, I checked who sent a message, to my surprise it was Mason. “Hey, hope you're good, I saw Tiffany walking out with anger on her face. I just wanted to be sure you had nothing to do with that?”

Vivian and I stared at each other. “Wait, what makes him think I'm the one?” I muttered

I felt there was no point hiding it from him. “Yeah, I did something to her and I hope she won't mess with me next time.”

I posted the video in the school group as many lines and emojis came in.

“She will know very soon that you did this, I think she will call her Father again.” I said, laughing out loud.

Students were asking a lot of questions in the school group. I was surprised when I saw professor Emma's comment. “This is obviously a way to learn about magic and revenge.” She said, putting a laughing emoji.

“Hey Emily, it seems you are gaining popularity through this. The school is on fire.” I said.

Tiffany was on the other hand insulting me in her comments. But I wasn't moved since she had nothing to get me back with.
