My Way To You

"Let"s go find a place to sit . " Gregory said as he made a quick sweep of the area with his eyes . When he spotted a quiet area he placed his hand on the small area of Ariana"s back and pushed her forward . "I can"t believe I have to be the one that tells you things . " Gregory muttered under his breath . "Well I can"t believe how you"re touching me so casually! I thought you despised me . " Ariana responded quietly . "Ha! Only if you knew . " Gregory said as they reached the table . He then graciously pulled out a chair for Ariana .

Ariana was momentarily stunned . Her encounter with Gregory was getting stranger and stranger . Gregory signalled with his eyes for Ariana to sit but when he saw that she wasn"t moving he grabbed her wrist and forced her to sit down . He then pulled out the chair beside her and sat down . "This looks so suspicion . " Ariana said with a higher then normal pitched voice . "I mean, you were supposed to show me around . " She continued in a mocking tone . "Books, shelves, entrance also the exit, front desk, stairs, second floor with sitting area, third floor with sitting area . Roof up top with sitting area and bas.e.m.e.nt with archive . " Gregory said as he pointed to everything . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt "Thanks . " Ariana said flatly as she rolled her eyes . "Now as for what happened the other night . . . " Gregory started .

. . . .

Ariana was left dumbfounded . She had no idea any of this had happened . Gregory had already left her to sort of her thoughts but it was useless . She couldn"t wrap her head around what had happened . She couldn"t remember anything past her conversation with Vanessa . "Aroha . " Ariana whispered . Aroha appeared and sat in the middle of the table looking at Ariana with indifference . "Is what he said true?" She asked . Aroha averted her gaze and let out a giant sigh . "Yes . "

"So the panther cubs . What happened to them?" Loralei appeared beside Aroha, flapping her fins happily . "I gifted them to the King of Darkness . " Loralei replied . "All of them?!" Ariana gasped in disbelief . "He was really happy to receive them . He has never had a creature like that before in his realm and he doesn"t want just anyone to have access to them . So he said he would train then hard to be a special unit only controlled by him . " Loralei said with absolute delight . "So . . . Aroha will you finally tell me about yourself?" Ariana asked awkwardly .

"First do your project . We can talk afterwards . My story . . . my story is long and I don"t need to distract you anymore then you already are . " Aroha said as she narrowed her gaze at Ariana . It was as if she could see through Ariana and her desire to procrastinate . "Fine . . . oh wait I need to check something!" Ariana said in a hurry . She then closed her eyes and looked inside herself . She found the podium and rushed up to it . To her horror she saw a some sort of gla.s.s cube over top of her red starburst . "Are you alright?!" Ariana shouted . The red starburst started to furiously stab the cube with its points . It"s eyes were burning with determination .

While her other awakened starbursts looked concerned . "Don"t worry, Andesine will be set free . I promise . " Ariana said before she left the podiums . "Aroha, something is really weird . Andesine is locked away in a cube . Why can"t she get out?" Ariana asked . Aroha looked at Ariana with a bored expression, she hoped over then picked up Ariana"s pencil with her beak and tapped her books . "You won"t even tell me about Andesine"s imprisonment?!" Ariana asked curiously . Aroha spit out the pencil with too much force, instead of landing on the book it flew towards Ariana"s forehead with a smack . "If I do what difference will it make? You need to focus on what is in front of you right now . " Aroha said, too stubborn to apologize for her actions .

Ariana peeled the pencil from her forehead and started to rub the area while she glared at Aroha . Sparks were flying between the two . Loralei bounce in between the two to try and block the glares . "I"m sorry Ariana but Aroha is right . At this moment you are a student and because of your actions, you are now behind . You need to remember this Academy is protecting you because of your academic achievements . So calm down and try to focus . " Loralei said as she broke out into a cold sweat . "Fine . " Ariana said with a defeated sigh .

Ariana looked back at her work book . She needed to write something for her STEM project but she had no idea what to do . Her first project was already used, was there really anything she could come up with to top it? Ariana groaned as she dropped her head to her book . "What"s wrong princess?" Someone asked . "I don"t know what to do anymore . " Ariana muttered loudly into her book . "What are you doing anyways?" Another voice asked . "Draft STEM proposal . " Ariana admitted as she rolled her face to the side so she could see who she was talking too . "Oh! h.e.l.lo . " Ariana said with a side smile, too lazy to actually lifted herself off of the table .

"I feel your pain . " Lobo said as he looked at her with pity . "When"s it do?" Xander asked as he tried to steal her book . Ariana lifted her head slightly and Xander pulled out the book . "Today . " Ariana replied . "And you"ve done nothing?" Xander stated as he glanced at the blank page . "Been sick for the last few days . " Ariana said as her eyes glazed over, she remembered what she was told and she still couldn"t comprehend her own behavior . "Cayden is going to kill us if we leave her like this . " Icarus said with a small sigh . Lobo pulled out a chair and sat in front of Ariana . "Can"t leave her alone . " Lobo said as he flashed the other two guys with a devilish smile . "A favour from Cayden is worth loosing my Friday night . " Icarus stated with a shrug as he took the seat next to Ariana .

"Do you know who you want to help? Have you done any research regarding our current situation in the City? Or Kingdom?" Xander asked as he sat next to Lobo and pa.s.sed the book back to Ariana . "No . . . but I . . . " Ariana said as she slowly lifted herself from the table to look at the boys . "I had an idea of what I wanted to do for someone who needed the help but now . . . " Ariana said bashfully . "Spit it out then . Wanting to help someone could lead to helping hundreds . " Lobo said as his pink eyes flashed with curiousity . "No . That is where the problem is . I have no idea if anyone else will need it . I mean the person I wanted to make it for doesn"t need it anymore so I can"t even test it . I really wanted to devote myself to it but now I lost my motivation and . . . well what"s the point?" Ariana said right before she slumped her face back on top of the table .
