A cursed love (BL)

As the wait persists, the tension in the room increases and, consequently, so does the chatter. After a short time, the headmaster climbs the stairs with a grim and serious expression. With that expression, he will make everyone more worried... I think with guilt. He stands in front of the microphone and, behind him, Selene comes too.

I notice that the gossip from earlier has stopped and, looking around me, I see that the others are staring at the stage where they are. I also return to look at them and see them talking among themselves.

After Selene nods in agreement, the principal clears his voice and begins his speech.

"Dear students..." he begins, sighing wearily. "First of all, I would like to apologize to you for having gathered here on short notice and at this late hour" he continues the speech, looking at everyone with a little remorse. I hope he starts to explain and does it as quickly as possible... I think with nervousness. I feel a hand leaning over mine and squeezing it. I look next to me and see Azel staring at me. I smile gratefully and tangle my fingers between his.

"Calm down, Yuma. I know you'll make it" he whispers in my ear in a calm tone and, thanks to this, I can soothe myself. I nod and we continue to listen to Mr Fair.

"Now I'll explain who the person who snuck in earlier was and his goal!"

It starts a murmur in which many students ask themselves if everything will be okay.

"Should we worry?" asks Zepher louder than the others so the principal can hear him.

"Yes, you should be worried!" says the headmaster. The students start screaming with fear.

I'm so sorry... I consider with regret.

"Calm down!" thunders Byrthon, Ice's father. From now on I should say our father... I think happily. The students immediately become silent and look at the person who spoke with astonishment.

"Thank you very much, Byrthon!" says the principal with gratitude. The other man signals him to continue the speech and the boys focus on Mr Fair again. "I'll begin to tell you the facts! The person who attacked your peer is called Legend Killer and, some time ago, ruled this world with his sick mind. We had to exile him in another dimension because it wasn't even enough for ten thousand of us to stop him"

"So... He managed to escape? We are in danger, right?!" asks Amber with fear and despair. Glancing around, I see that other guys have the same look. I look back at my friends hoping they don't have the same face but I get bitter seeing that they do. The only two who seem normal are Azel and Ice and, the latter, puts his right arm over Nick's shoulder helping him to calm down. I stare better at Azel and notice a strange gleam. I already know what he's thinking... I consider it with a bit of discouragement. I hope something will change this time! I keep brooding. My eyes open after considering this, reminding me I should not think about these things. Frantically I turn my eyes left and right but see that no one is calculating me because they are too self-centered. I breathe with relief.

"What's going on?" Azel asks me.

"Nothing" I reply with a little nervousness.

"Relax! We won't see him for a while since Yuma sent him somewhere else" the headmaster informs them. I nod to cheer the others up and they smile a little more relieved.

"Why did he come here?" asks Terra.

"He has come to find the fragments of his power that some people have within themselves. We call them 'Chosen Ones' and suspect they are here! We would be glad if they could lend us a hand" says Mr Fair, both regretfully and hopeful.

"But we don't know who they are..." Nick says with hesitation, making all the presents nod. I take a deep sigh, take my hand off Azel's and stand up attracting the confused looks of my friends and the students.

"Why are you getting up?" Azel asks me with surprise poorly concealed. I smile awkwardly and walk towards the podium with the eyes of the guys still on me.

"I know, boy!" the principal begins to answer him. "Your friend Yuma is one of them and he has confirmed that he will help us find the others" he continues. I go up the stairs looking first at Mr. Fair and then Selene. I smile at them and they smile back a little confused not knowing why I went there. I breathe another sigh and approach the microphone.

It's better to do things now than wait for the worst! I think and look at those present who are still in shock.

"Then I give the floor to him because, as I have noticed, he has something to say" He nodded and I think he is permitting me to speak. I nod and give him a small grateful smile.

Alright... I'll have to say everything I know now! I consider and my nervous behavior becomes determined.
