Octavius Grimoire

A MONTH AGO

Greta was escorted to school by her Aunt. She made sure Greta had entered a class before she left.

”You
e late again Greta, take your seat ” her geography teacher commanded.

”Or maybe you
e early again ” Greta mumbled as she took her seat.

”Im just gonna pretend I didn hear that. So as I was saying, in the Pinex, theres an island that is within a lake, on an island thats within a lake on an island….. Im gonna need to repeat that okay… ”

As he addressed the class, Greta and her friend Catalina conversed.

”The lacrosse team addressed us in the halls today and Auriela and her cheerleaders cheered them on ” Catalina said in a low time smiling

”Good for them ” Greta said with zero emotions

”I wanna be like Auriela someday ”

”You don know what Aurelias going through so don wish to be her, ever. Just wish to be the better of yourself okay Catalina? ”

Catalina shocked at her reply just nodded astoundingly.

Meanwhile in the girls bathroom, there laid the famous Aurelia. She sat on the bathroom floor crying on the phone with her dad.

”I just don understand dad, why won he love me. I sit pretty, I wear a very expensive perfume, I get my toes and my nails done for him. But he doesn see any of these things I do for him ” She lamented sobbing.

”Honey hes missing out, you
e my perfect baby girl ” Her dad insisted trying to make her feel better.

”But it doesn look like it daddy. Instead he sees that ugly bitch Andrea. Daddy he once told me that I looked cute when Im jealous, well Im about to look phenomenal ”

”Just don get suspended darling ”

”Never….bye daddy ” Auriela said wiping her tears off. Then she adjusted her skirt and went out the bathroom. Bobby; the boy she loved, sighted her and called her to meet him. She was surprised and she hurriedly went to meet him.

”Hey umm….. ” Bobby stuttered scratching his head.

”Aurelia…don you remember me? ” She asked disappointed.

”Ok cool, umm.. can you take a pick of me and someone? ”

”Sure who is it? ” Auriela asked smiling

Then he called Andrea and she quickly ran down smiling. As soon as he said the name, Aurielas mood changed. She wanted to give the phone back but she decided to hold still.

”Umm….. Auriela just hold on a second before you take the pic Im not ready ye….. ” Before she had finished her sentence, Auriela had already taken the picture. Bobby was looking his finest while Andrea on the other hand was looking quite hideous.

”Would have loved to retake the picture but Ive got something to do so bye ” Auriela said as she left their sights.

PRESENT DAY

At the dinning room, the students were sitted about to have their breakfast, as usual they waited for the table to be filled before they started eating.

”For once, just for once can there be a day we don have to wait! ” Julius stressed, he was already running out of patience. Greta, Sebastian and Iris were the ones missing from the table. Julius stood up from the table and left the dinning room to look for them.

Meanwhile in Iris room, Sebastian stood at her doort step knocking, immediately iris heard it she looked through her peephole and found out it was Sebastian. She quickly opened the door and dragged him in,

”Its gone, its gone! ” She exclaimed. She further went on to ask what Sebastian did to her, he was reluctant to tell her, instead he lied,

”I got Auriela make me some of her witchy ointment, don worry she doesn know about the marks. ” Iris knew Sebastian was lying because the only person Auriela would help is herself, Mila or Jason but she couldn care less, all she cared about was her marks and they were gone.

”Do you think Apollo did this? ” Sebastian asked Iris looking concerned. She immediately switched her mood, ”no, no he couldn , we don even talk that much. ”

”I remember when Auriela asked you where you went the other night, the night of the full moon, I knew you were with Apollo. ” Sebastian said.

”He did not do this. ” Iris said as stern as she could be. She was confident. No one knew Apollo and Iris were siblings. It was part of the rules- don talk about your past lives. So they kept that part of themselves hidden from the rest of the students. ”Lets go eat shall we? ” Iris said with delight.

Julius was about approaching Gretas room when she came out, Greta was on makeup, something she rarely uses. ”Okay… Lovin the vibes with you. ” Julius said trying to mock Greta. Greta gave Julius a light touch then she said, ”Lets go eat, dumbass. ”

Greta came in with Julius, she looked for Auriela, when she found her she went on to ask her about her makeup, ”hey, Auriela, so I applied makeup for the first time, I just wanted to know whether I got the contour right. ” Greta asked. Auriela wasn in the mood to answer her but she couldn resist it since it was about makeup, so she carried her purse and brought out her brush, she adjusted Gretas face,

”It looks perfect now. ” Auriela said, she wanted to put her brush back in her purse when it fell, everything in it fell out, Greta wanted to help Auriela get everything in her purse but she refused, she insisted she help her, Auriela stood her ground, by that time Greta had already take what she needed, THE GENETIC SUNBLOCK.

Everyone was now complete at the dinning room, they were all chatting, talking about different things, when Mila raised her glass cup and hit it with a tiny stainless spoon, everyones attention was gathered, she then proceeded to say, ”we all know Alexander, ”- she said with a cheerful smile, ”his birthday is coming up tomorrow, and there would of course be a celebration. Venue HMAs common room, time 7pm. Oh and everyones invited! ” She exclaimed. They all cheered for Alexander, then they continued eating and discussing, while Alexander was lost in thoughts,

A MONTH AGO

”Gates, they are here for you ” Jena; a rehab worker said with a beam to Alexander Gates whose mother; Mirabel and friend; Avia were waiting for him outside with a car. He got up, packed his stuff and walked out of his confined room. As he walked down the hallway, the rehab workers wished him a clean life, away from hard drugs. He got to the door and saw his mother and Avia. He dropped all his stuff on the ground as Avia rushed to give him a hug.

”No hugs for me ma? ” Alexander asked smiling but she wasn having it

”Shes really upset Alex, let me help you with your stuff ” Avia suggested, carrying some of Alex luggages. They put it in the boot afterwards his mother started the car and the journey back home began.

The ride back home was quite awkward as there was too much silence. So Avia decided to break it.

”So Alex, how was the rehab centre, you made any new friends? ”

”Not really…uh…how about you? Surely you must have something for me ” Alex said with a chuckle

”When we get home ” Avia assured. Then the silence continued. It was not long they got home. When they all came out the car Alexs mother joined him at the back to off load his luggages.

”When you see your brother you tell him that Aunt Marys house was nice and you saw the dolphins ” Mirabel said off loading her sons stuff

”She won even look at me ” Alex said ashamed

”What is there to look at Alex! The son I knew or I thought I knew would never and I mean never think of doing hard drugs. The person you want me to look at is just a mirage ” Mirabel retorted slamming the boot lock.

”Im sorry ” Alex said sternly, but his mother just walked away with some of his stuff. Then came his little brother, running towards him to give him a hug. When he came closer, Alex lifted him up to the sky and then brought him down.

”Hows my little champ! ” Alex asked squatting to match his little brothers height.

”Im alright, how are Aunt Marys dolphins? ” his little brother; Finn asked with excitement.

”Super! ” Alex said faking his excitement

”Cool, did you take a picture? ”

”With the dolphins or of the dolphins? ” Alex asked hesitant

”With? ”

”Sorry champ, maybe next time I promise ”

”Ok ” Finn said as he jollied back into the house. Avia, who was watching from afar smiled at him then he smiled back. Then his elder sister came came out the door.

”Welcome back Ally ” she said with a smirk on her face.

PRESENT DAY

”Ally?, Ally?, ” Mila tapped him vigorously until he jerked back to reality. ”Whats wrong? ” Mila asked him concerned. ”Its nothing….. ” He tried avoiding further questions, ”hey auries about to speak. ” He told Mila.

”Thank you for giving me your attention. ”- Auriela said while standing. ”As we all know this is the exact location, that horribly incident happened to our beloved Jason ” Auriela added. Jason on hearing this was very much confused

”What the f**k. ” He mumbled.

”We all know Jasons a gremlin, him and his counterpart Hamilton, both share a common weakness, ” The windows and curtains were closed because they didn want what happened to Jason to repeat itself, still Auriela went on to the windows and opened them widely, the sun came directly at Jason and Hamilton, Jason still scared from his ugly ordeal shrieked. But nothing happened to him nor Hamilton. Everyone was at their feet tensed. But Auriela stood still knowing nothing would happen,

”You see, nothing happened. This is because they both inject themselves with this ”- she brings out a serum from her handy purse and raised it in the air which read; ”Balls Shaving Cream ”. Everyone bursts out of laughter, except Jason and Hamilton, they were embarrassed, Auriela then looked at what she brought out, she was astonished because she knew that was not what was inside her purse, she looked at Jason and Hamilton, they were angry, then Jason came up to her and said,

”F**k you, ” he cussed, the he left the dinning room. Auriela couldn believe her eyes, she couldn understand how the whole event she planned unfolded. She went to her seat embarrassed, ”what the f**k happened? ” Gia asked her puzzled. ”I am so f**ked. ” She said biting unto her lips stunned. Tears were already dropping from her eyes till she heard Julius say,

”Theres actually nothing wrong with injecting yourself with Balls Shaving Cream, i use it too, I don inject myself with it though, but the good side of it is my balls are freshly shaven. ” Immediately she heard this she turned her frown upsidedown, she was already furious then she mumbled, GRETA.
