Chapter 3: Tell Mother Nature musa
Sleeping helps me a lot; I get to hide from my problems. Even if nightmares were to enter my friends were there to wake me up and make me feel better.
"Musa, sweetie. Wake up, I have your tea ready." a calm voice said to me
"Oh... Hey Flo, thanks" I said as I rubbed my eyes. Flora sat next to me and started to nibble on some biscuits. The tea warmed my body and it helped me calm down a bit, I let out a sigh that caught Flora's attention.
"Musa, is there something wrong?" Flora innocently asked.
I looked at flora, trying to make a face that wouldn't give my true feelings away. "What do you mean?" as I asked her she poured more tea in my cup.
"Well you seem pretty down and pre-occupied, did anything happen awhile ago" Flora gave me a look that made me feel so horrible, I know she wants to help but I didn't want my friends to worry about my problems.
"Nothing really, I'm just dizzy so I'm trying to not move much and just relax." I really don't like lying to my girls but it had to be done.
"Musa, just remember that I'm here to help you. Everyone has problems that they can handle themselves but sometimes they need others for help, you don't have to face all your problems alone." Flora patted my shoulder and gave me a warm smile.
"Yeah, thanks Flo. I'll... I'll remember that." I gave flora a hug and she left the common room to go to bed. I looked to my right and I saw Layla fast asleep, she was smiling. Probably dreaming about Nabu. When I looked to my left I saw the clock and it was 11 pm, I needed to go to bed since tomorrow there will be a big announcement at around 7 30 am. I tipped toed back to my room and saw Tecna sleeping soundly so in another attempt to sneak past the sleeping fairy I dashed to my bed and hid under the covers.
-Next day-
"GOOD MORNING WINX!" a loud sun fairy greeted.
Everyone got out of bed and groaned passed their doors; Stella looked at us and started laughing.
"You girls look hideous!" The laughing fairy fell to the floor.
"Shut it sunshine" Bloom grinned as she yawned.
"Yeah! It's like 6am Stella! What's up?" Layla said trying to get comfortable on the couch.
"Layla? Did you sleep there?" Tecna asked while she stretched her arms.
"Yeah, she did. I didn't have the heart to wake her up because she was sleeping so peacfully and dreaming about Nabu" I flashed a smile on Layla who suddenly sat up giving me a deadly stare which made me laugh.
It was really nice having my girls worry free, at least we could still have fun. Everyone sat at the common room and Flora brought out some hot chocolate, everyone's eye's widened. Flora makes the best hot chocolate.
"Stella, can you tell us why you woke us up so early?" Bloom asked while trying to get some hot chocolate.
"Well my dear bloom, you might have forgotten about Miss Faragonda's announcement at 7 30 am!" Stella giving Bloom a grin.
"Oh yeah! I wonder what that's about" Bloom said.
"We can worry about that later, here are some cereal guys!" Layla passing 3 different types of boxes.
-7 20 am-
"I told you we shouldn't have had that 3rd bowl!" Tecna said as she tried to catch her breath.
"Well Miss Solaria here was hungry and decided for everyone!" Bloom said while running as fast as she can.
We all left the room running because of Stella's cereal contest; if we arrive late in this assembly Miss Griselda will kill us.
"Musa! Hurry up! We're almost at the gym!" Stella screamed. I wasn't that worried because we had like 3 minutes left till 7 30, but the girls knew how strict Miss Griselda is when it comes to time. So I sprinted my way pass flora and Tecna.
Luck was on our side and we made it in time and unfortunately we happen to bump into Miss Griselda "Hello girls, running in the halls to catch time again I see."
"Yeah... We had to... But we're... Here... Now..." Flora panted.
"Please don't let this continue on girls, proceed to your seats" Miss Griselda watched as we walked to our area.
"LADIES! WELCOME AND A GOOD MORNING TO ALL!" Miss Faragonda exclaimed."As you all may be unaware but this week in magix all school activities and classes will be cancelled."
Everyone was whispering and looked very confused, why would they cancel school for a week? Not like I'm complaining. I looked over at the girls and they were whispering to each other, but Stella's voice was to loud.
"I can see Brandon for a week!" Stella giggled.
Miss Faragonda continued speaking "We have visitors from Red Fountain that'll explain why this suddenly happened" and she left the stage.
I wasn't really interested but when I heard 'Red Fountain' my eyes transferred to the stage. I was hoping to see Riven but at the same time I wished he wouldn't be a speaker. To my luck Seniors of Red Fountain came out and delivered the message.
"Hi girls! As Miss Faragonda said, a week will be allotted for the Red Fountain Grand ball. For the next seven days Red Fountain students will be going around different schools to find a partner, this isn't just a dance for us students so we make sure to take things very seriously." All the girls cheered because the speakers were good looking and everyone was excited about this, specially Stella who kept screaming.
After the assembly everyone went back to their dorms, tomorrow will be the start of the Red Fountain event. Today we were allowed to relax so we decided to just chill in the room.
"Oh girls! We need to go shopping for that ball!" Stella suddenly blurted out.
"Sure Stell, but not today" said Layla.
Everyone agreed even Stella, we just wanted to rest and hang.
As we reached our dorms it was about 11 am, so Tecna suggested that we eat lunch soon. Princess Solaria might get hungry again.
"So? What kind of food do you guys want?" Bloom asked as she took her phone out of her pocket.
"How bout we get some... Pizza was it?" said Tecna who was tinkering with her new gadget.
"Sure!" Bloom exclaimed.
I looked at my friends from my room door, I was happy to see them talking about the ball and how the plan with clothes will go. But it still made me sad; I couldn't go with them, well... Not anymore.
"Musa?" Flora asked walking towards my room. "Is there something wrong? You've been awfully quiet the whole morning."
I know flora wants to help, but I wasn't ready so I had to do it again. Lie. "Yeah, I just had another dizzy spell. I'll just get some air and sit by the balcony." I left flora in my room and walked towards the balcony, I really hate myself.
I went outside and shut the door so no one could see me, I bursted out crying because I couldn't tell anyone anything. The Grand ball had my friends going on and I really can't deprive them, I had to get through this by myself.
"Riven" I sighed. "Why did you have to act that way?"
-Flashback-
"Musa! It's raining!" said Riven who was smiling at me.
"C'mon! It's fun to play in the rain. Please Riv!" I pleaded and gave him a pout.
He laughed and carried me under a tree "Let's stay here for a while, ok?" and he gave me a tender kiss on my lips. I felt his warm body on mine and I couldn't help myself, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I couldn't breathe but I wanted riven more, he made my heart melt. Riven pulled away because he knew I wouldn't be able to breathe any longer since I was too aggressive.
"Can we play now?" I asked him while still trying to catch my breath.
Riven gave me a smile, oh how I love his smile. It made me want to kiss him again. But he got a hold of my body and lifted me up again. We played in the rain until he noticed it was getting a bit late.
"Hey, we have to get you back to Alfea." said Riven who placed me down.
"Aw, but I'm having so much fun with you." I sounded disappointed but I knew he was right.
"C'mon, we wouldn't want Miss Griselda nagging again" chuckled Riven.
"Fine" I giggled
We walked the streets of Magix hoping a bus would come along, but it seemed like every mode of transportation wasn't available since the rain was so heavy. Riven and I walked along the forest and saw Alfea but then Jared suddenly came out drunk.
"Musa! Why are you with that good for nothing, hot headed guy!" said Jared as he glared at Riven. I was shock to see him like this; I hid behind Riven who had his fist clenched.
"Go back Jared, if you know what's good for you!" shouted Riven.
"Put your money were your mouth is Riven! I bet I could get Musa from you! You're not even worth her time! You're nothing but talk!" Jared charged at Riven.
I looked at Riven and saw that he was really upset "Stay there musa, I'll deal with him." Riven then put me to the side. I didn't know what to do, I was in shock.
Jared ran faster to Riven but since he was drunk Riven had the upper hand. He grabbed him and threw him hard on the ground then he got Jared's collar and pinned him to a tree. Using his anger Riven clenched his fist and kept punching his face. I snapped "RIVEN! STOP IT!" and I slapped him so that he would come back to his senses. He dropped Jared and I went to check if he was alright.
"What the... Musa?" said a confused Riven.
