Lonely Hearts

Chapter Nine

(In Professor Codatorta's Office)

Riven and Musa sat before the professor as he waited for Mrs Faragonda to arrive, "I just don't know what you were thinking Riven, bringing a girl into your room at this time of the night, what have I told you about girls?" he growled angrily as he looked at Musa in disgust.

Riven bit his tongue as he fought the urge to defend Musa, she just didn't realise how serious this guy was, he found girls to be such a distraction.

Musa however didn't stay quiet, "What do you mean 'about girls'?" Musa asked aloud to the teacher who actually was surprised she wasn't cowering.

"Girls are a waste of time in war, a complete distraction, and if one of my boys have them, then they'll definitely be killed because of them" the teacher spoke as if quoting an ancient know-it-all.

"You don't believe that do you Riven?" Musa asked in shock and started staring at him intently waiting for his answer.

"Well I did at the start but..." Riven found he couldn't continue, Musa looked ready to kill the both of them and as hard as it was to admit, it scared the hell out of him.

(Mrs Faragonda's Arrival)

"I just don't know how all of this happened" Mrs Faragonda said as she looked from Musa who had crossed her arms defiantly to the Riven and the teacher who each was holding some injured limb and looking guilty.

"Well you see..." but the teacher stopped his explanation when Musa gave him a glare. "Maybe Riven should explain" he said and then glared at Riven, who was trying not to be noticed.

"What why do I have to...fine!" he growled when his teacher gave him a threatening glare, "I told Musa that I used to think girls were just a way to get us guys killed... but I don't anymore" he said and gulped when Mrs Faragonda's eyes widened in shock, "He taught me they were just like a death certificate" Riven said quickly and backed up.

Mrs Faragonda took a deep calming breath and ordered both of them out so she could talk to Professor Codatorta alone.

(Outside In The Corridor)

The groans from inside the teachers office had subsided and Riven now found that he was forced to have fix the situation with Musa.

He turned to look at Musa who surprisingly wasn't giving him a glare but a very thoughtful stare like she was studying him.

Forgetting his well though out apology he just gave her a confused look, "What? What are you staring at?" he asked taking a step back and eying her suspiciously.

"Oh nothing, it's just... you've changed since the cliff accident, it's almost like you're...nicer" she said accusingly.

"I thought you wanted me to be nice! You said you were jealous of Darcy 'cause I was nice when I was under her spell" he said and gave her a 'what the hell' look and waited for her explanation.

"I was, but I didn't realise how cute you were when you were all sarcastic and evil like" she said and couldn't help but notice a look of pain and guilt in his eyes before he quickly started laughing.

"You have to make up your mind, Musa, do you want me good or bad because I can only be one" he said and started walking towards the cafeteria.

One voice stopped him in his tracks, "Where do you think you're going!" it was Mrs Faragonda. And she didn't sound happy.

(Musa back at Alfea In Her Room Talking To Bloom)

"I can't believe they grounded me, and forbid me from talking to Riven" Musa groaned into her pillow as Bloom listened to her complain.

"Well you did go a little overboard, maybe if you'd visited him in the morning instead" Bloom said and cringed when Musa glared at her.

"Just when Riven and I get together this happens" Musa said and sat up putting her head in her hands and groaning at the pain.

"Just as long as you don't try to sneak out..." Bloom said scolding her but Musa quickly cut her off as she stood up ans strolled to the windowed doors of her balcony.

"Like I could anyway, Mrs Faragonda put a barrier so I can't even get out of my room without her approval" Musa said lightly touching the door and watching as it slightly forced her hand away.

"That's so sad Musa, but I'm sure it's not for long" Bloom said trying to comfort her as she stood up and went to the door.

"I guess you have to go to class, I can't believe I can't even go to class either, but at least I can talk to him on the phone" Musa said and sighed as Musa closed the door after her. At least nothing else could go wrong.

"Alone at last!" a familiar voice whispered, catching Musa's ears, she turned around to see no other that Darcy.
