Chapter 80. What Happened, Alexa?

Book:Alexa The Dark Witch Published:2024-8-20

In the dining room,
“What do you do all day in your room, Alexa?” A girl with short black hair asked the person she was talking to, who was sitting to her left. The owner of the name, who had just finished drinking water, had not answered the question. He put the glass on the table, then looked at Aileen flatly.
“When I am in my room, I sleep more. All my homework has been done, so I have nothing else to do.” Alexa answered Aileen’s question.
Aileen widened her eyes when she heard the answer from the first daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira. She never thought that Alexa was diligent in studying. “Wow. Have you done all your homework? You are so diligent.”
“I am used to doing everything early. The quicker the homework, the quicker it will be finished so that I can read a book or sleep.” That teenage girl did not want to brag and just said what was true. Aileen just nodded because she had no bad feelings towards her friend.
The young girl shifted her focus towards the Chosen One’s plate. There was no food left there and only a wooden spoon. “You never add food, Alexa? If you are still hungry, you can ask for more ahead.”
That young lady shook her head because Alexa had had enough of the portion she had taken. “No, thank you. I am already full.”
The green-eyed girl stared ahead. Aileen saw that there were her twin sisters and two young men she had known since childhood. Alexa also spontaneously took the same action as the person she was talking to and witnessed the same thing as Aileen.
“Do you want to follow them?” asked the girl with chestnut brown hair, looking at the woman with the oval face.
“Yes, I want to, but I do not want to leave you alone,” answered Aileen honestly.
“It is okay. You can go there. Do not worry about me.” A smart lady, who had a height of one hundred and seventy centimetres tall, did not want her presence to cause Aileen not to be able to go to her friends freely.
Now Aileen turned to the messenger of Goddess Magia. She frowned, and her face seemed serious, so the young lady became confused looking at her. “I do not want you to become the target of bullying again, Alexa. I will wait for them here.”
“Okay, if you say so.” Alexa did not want to argue with Aileen because she knew the results would be in vain. A girl of royal descent could only remain silent while turning her attention to the exit. Sunlight could be seen there, but it was not very hot. The desire to play in the area outside the orphanage only grew bigger because boredom had appeared in the girl’s mind.
Do my new friends want to go outside like last week? I hope so because I am lazy about always being in the room. I want some fresh air, thought Alexa, who kept looking in the same direction.
Without the granddaughter of Sir Elmer Louis Writh and Madame Phoenix Lily Katira realised that Samuel, Aiden, and Adaline, originally at the front, had left the area and were now walking towards the seats. The silver-haired young man observed Alexa’s behaviour while the girl seemed to be contemplating with her gaze wandering towards the door.
What is Alexa thinking? She seemed to be thinking about something. I will ask her later, thought Aiden, as he walked towards the table where the target and Adaline were. Meanwhile, Aileen occasionally looked at the young man she loved, but that girl looked disappointed because the skinny young man was paying attention to the other girl.
I can’t handle this feeling anymore. I have to ask Alexa what happened between her and Aiden. I do not know why I do not like seeing their closeness. I hope my bad thoughts do not come true. Adaline muttered in her heart so no one heard her.
In less than a minute, the two young men and one young woman had arrived at the table. Alexa realized herself and saw her three friends who had just come there. Aileen smiled at Adaline, and her twin sister returned the same action. “Hurry up and eat. Doesn’t anyone want more food?” Adaline asked while observing the expressions of the two women who had been sitting there.
“No. I am full.” Alexa answered honestly, while Aileen did not answer the question, which surprised Adaline.
“Ai, what was wrong with you?” The teenage girl with long, black hair sat beside her twin sister’s right. Samuel and Aiden sat in front of Adaline and Aileen, but one of them stole a glance at Alexa, who was listening to the two brothers’ conversation.
“Is the food over there finished?” Aileen asked back, and Adaline, as soon as possible, shook her head.
“Not yet. Why don’t you go there? If you are still hungry, going to the front is better. Do not be shy.” The twelve-year-old girl was surprised by her twin sister’s attitude, even though Alexa had already told Aileen before she said that, but that girl refused.
“I can’t bear to leave our friend alone.” Aileen did not want to let the hazel-eyed girl become the object of bullying, even though the girl did not ask for it.
Adaline was reluctant to comment and chose to stare at the food and drink she had brought. The Chosen One just kept quiet. After realizing that the conversation between the two young girls was over, without further ado, Alexa turned her attention to the door again. At the same time, the two young men at the same table also did not respond at all.
“What are you thinking, Alexa?” Aiden asked the target directly because he could not stand seeing the girl’s strange behaviour. The owner of the name turned to the opposite sex so that the young lady knew that the person asking was Sam’s roommate. Adaline also turned to Alexa, and jealousy returned to her heart.
“I was thinking that it would be nice if we could spend time outside like last week.” The wallflower girl answered what was in her head. This answer relieved Adaline for some reason, and then she started to turn away from there and stir her still-hot food. Meanwhile, Samuel ate his food and did not pay attention to his friends’ conversation.
“When it comes to that, we have to look at the situation first. If anything is good, we can go outside, but we must remember that there is a maximum limit for walking around.” The handsome young man reminded the opposite sex, so Alexa nodded as a sign that she understood.
“Thank you, Aiden.” That’s the only sentence Alexa said.
Alexa did not say anything else and preferred to remain silent. Aiden just nodded and then started eating his food. Meanwhile, Aileen, who was sitting in the middle, had decided to go to the front immediately, carrying an empty plate. Before the virgin left for her destination, she poked her twin sister who was chewing food.
“I will go to the front first. Okay, Line.” Aileen pointed to the desired location with her chin. Adaline just nodded.
Without waiting any longer, the young girl with a mole on her nose left as soon as possible. Several children were still seen in the dining room. Some people eat alone, and some eat with their friends. Aileen was already at her usual place to get food and drink, and no one else was there, so she easily got the food according to her wishes.
Suddenly, the first daughter of the couple, Tristian Varden Writh and Lavena Isolda Keira remembered Menka.
Has Madame Ethnia arrived in the medical room? To be honest, I am not sure if her assistant can remember my message, but if I go back there later, is that allowed? I want to tell my dream directly to the Healer, thought Alexa, who became restless at the thought.
A young lady who liked to be the object of bullying wanted to leave the dining room immediately, but Alexa could not possibly do that because she was with her friends. That young lady was forced to abandon this intention and remained in the same area as the three teenagers who were eating.
I hope Madame Menka does not forget her promise because the message I received in my dream could be very important for Madame Ethnia. If I went there alone without telling my friends, they would be confused. It could be that Aileen or Adaline actually asks a lot of questions that are difficult to answer. I have no idea what to do now. Alexa could only think about it because she was experiencing a dilemma.
“What happened to you, Alexa?” This question made the chestnut brown-haired girl turn to Adaline. The teenage girl with the bitchy face looked very curious, especially considering the closeness of the person she was talking to with the boy she loved.
“Nothing. I was just thinking, if we can go, what if later-”
