maybe you’re thinking that I like crazy-chortler. Hell, no! I just thought that his more gorgeous than this man in front of me. Actually, I haven’t known crazy-chortler’s name, I should ask him next time.

“Okay sweet cheeks, your mum and I will go to our room to rest and Cedric will show you your room.” My dad stood up and my mum followed. “We’ll see you tomorrow morning okay?”

I hugged my dad and mum, “Okay. How long are you going to stay here?” I asked looking to my mum.

“Your mum and I will leave tomorrow morning and we want to see you before we leave.” My dad responded.

I nodded and kissed their cheeks. “Good night, mum, night dad!” and they both existed in the room.

Chapter Nine - The Story of Beauty

Cedric asked me to wear back my jumper on and directed me to my room. It’s quite a long walk though because the place were huge and Cedric always looked at me at the corner of his eye and it makes me more uncomfortable. He didn’t talk much and I am grateful because I wasn’t in the mood to chat either.

After a long walk that took us almost 15 minutes to just found my room, I relaxed and exhaled loudly, I haven’t realised I hold my breathing. Cedric pulled out some keys of his pants pocket and look for my door key. He entered whispered some words that my ear didn’t catch up to it and the heavy look-like metal door opened slowly, revealing a dark blue paint on the wall.

I stepped in inside with mouth open and wide eyes. The room was painted all in dark blue, the carpet floor was baby blue and the bed sheets and pillows were stripe black and white. The room is too big for me. It is twice bigger than my room in California.

I roam around the room looking on every edge of the area and I realised that the area looked so organised. Four black leather couches on the left side of the room that encircled the small coffee table that looks like a living area. A waterfall painting was hanged on the wall above the couch, a study table and small wide cabinet was located at the right side opposite to the living area.

I entered my room that located near at the study table and open the door widely.  The dark blue wall was covered with art. Stars, was all around and a crescent moon was drawn in a big picture frame in the opposite of my bed. I was relieved that I found a toilet inside my bedroom.

I stepped outside of my bedroom and saw a closed door inside my room. I didn’t hesitate to open it and it revealed a kitchen. Dining table with 6 wooden chairs was around it. Some materials for cooking and kitchen utensils, plates and glasses were inside the glass cabinet and a fridge. I tried to open it but the fridge already hates me because it wouldn’t open.

Another bathroom was located near in the kitchen and an open door gets my attention. I walked in and found a queen size bed with pink bed sheets on it and black pillows. A small table and walls were covered in white colour.

I turned around and almost bumped into Cedric’s chest. I mentally slap my face that I’m being an idiot, I completely forgotten that he was with me in my room. I’m pretty sure he was laughing his ass off when he looked at me gawking around the room.

I stand straight and put my best to look mature in front of the owner of the school. Not that I want to impress him, but I just want to show him that I’m not the same as the other girls that were dumb and idiot. Well, maybe I am…but a little.

I cleared my throat, “Umm… Why do I have two bedrooms?” I asked looking at the area.

He walked outside the room and I followed behind him, “Every room has spare bedroom, just in case you have visitor then they can use this room.” He pointed his thumb to the room that we just came into. “Well, unless… you’re vi-…”

I quickly interrupted his sentence and shook my head eagerly, “Oh…no! I don’t have one.” I whispered a little embarrassed looking to my terrace located outside my living area.

He chuckled lowly and seated on the couch. “Me neither.”

I looked up and our eyes met. I quickly looked away and my heart beating like crazy, my sweat is beginning to run down on eyebrow. I am a little curious of his status though, a hot, manly-man, tall, rich and I bet he was intelligent and was in a highest rank of all is single? Seriously, single? That was just unbelievable.

“How old are you?” I asked without thinking and I tried to cover my mouth but it’s too late.

I thought he would ignore me and walked out of the room because I’m hundred percent sure that people hate it when someone asked their age. But he just throws his head back and laugh. “Nah, it’s okay. I’m 28 years old and my brother was 22.”

“You have a brother?” I asked in surprise.

He smiled and spread his arms on the couch, “Yup, he’s my younger brother and I am the first child.”

“Oh…” I whispered and walked to the kitchen to make a tea. “Do you want a drink?” I asked looking at him while walking to the kitchen.

He stood up and walked behind me to the kitchen, “Coffee sounds good to me.” He said cheerfully.

I walked near at the fridge and try to pull the handle but I still can’t open it. Cedric saw me throwing punches to the fridge and he laughed, “Push the green button at the end of the handle.”

Then I found a round green button and push it. The fridge opened and saw heaps of foods inside it. I checked every food on it and I was surprised that all of them were my favourites.

“Before students arrive here in Beauxbatons Academy, we make sure that we know everything about them, from the colour to favourites.” Cedric answered my thoughts like he can read my thoughts.

“Oh… That makes sense.” I closed the fridge and look around the kitchen. “I’m sorry, but I guess I don’t have any coffee in my kitchen.” I said apologising.

He walked to the wall that painted into green and he push the red button and a handle showed up. He pulled it open and lots of chips, chocolates, tea bag and a coffee lined up neatly in each row.

“Wow” I gasped, “This place is so awesome. Lots of tricks and the technologies were so ahead.”

“Yes, everything around here in the campus is made of magic but we changed some of them into more like human things.” I said proudly.

“Cool.” I remember I haven’t seen a TV inside my room. “Umm… Mr Cedric, I realised that I haven’t seen television in my room. I though…” I haven’t finished my sentence because he interrupted.

“Of course… Just say ‘television’ and it will appeared with DVD’s and speakers.” He said waving his hand back to the living room.

“Oh… Thank you.” I smiled at him and he smiled back.

“Pleasure.”

I gave him his coffee and I took a seat opposite to him. “So, how about you?” he asked and I raised my eyebrow confuse.

“What’s about me?”

“How old are you?”

“Aww… I’m 19 years old, turning 20 next week.” I said proud of my age.

My mum said that I am the younger student here in Beauxbatons Academy and I need to be more careful because kids that were older than me are more rude and assholes than humans. I was terrified when I heard my mum’s words because I haven’t found my real powers yet and I don’t know how to protect myself. But luckily my father sends me a body guard, though I hate it when I have them. They’re like my tails that follows me around and I got jealousy stares from my human classmates in my old school.

Cedric laughed and brought the cup on his lips, “I know. But you still need to be careful to those ugly creatures. Okay?”

Geez…He sounded like my father.

Instead of being a bitch and snapped at him, I offered him a friendly smile, “Thank you Mr Cedric, I can handle myself.”

“Please call me Cedric.” He said.

“Okay.” I responded.

I zipped off my jumper and put it on the chair. I looked back to Cedric that has a little surprise again on his face. I wondered if he can answer some of my questions, “Cedric…” I started.

“Yea…?” He blinked his eyes twice. “Wow… It is so hard to get use seeing you without your hooded jumper on.” He smiled a little nervous and rubbed his eyebrow.

“Why?” I asked and he looked at me curiously like I’m an idiot for asking such an obvious question. “I mean… every time my dad have visitors in my house, my mum would force me to wear my hooded jumper on and cover my face and when I removed it there faces was full of horror, same as yours.” I lowered my head and look at my hands, “It’s a bit creepy looking to everyone’s reaction and until now, I’m confused why they act like I’m an alien or something.” I protested and I heard him sighed.

“Aisha. Haven’t your parents told you about Marina?” I shook my head for no, and he continued, “There was a story millennium years ago about her.” I looked at him with full attention listening to him and encourage him to continue.

“Thousand years ago, there was a story of two angels that committed sin and became fallen angels. They lived in earth and adopted the human world. They become a good parent of Marina. Marina is not an angel because she was adopted. Angelo and Siena – the fallen angels – saw her on the side of the street covered with white blanket and they decided to keep and adopt her as their child. Marina grew and become a beautiful young woman. She was perfect in every way and her parents declared that she will have the power of beauty and that no one can ever replace her. Everyone loves her, neighbours, community and she got heaps of friends because of her beauty. She turned 50 years old but her beauty was still the same look when she’s 20 years old.”

“So… how is her story connected to mine?” I asked still puzzled in the new information.

He take a sip on his coffee and looked back at me, “Every 5 years, Marina moved in different countries because of her never fading beauty. She was afraid that people will start asking her questions. She found out that she was half angel and half human when her adopted parents died. Marina became a mother and multiplied her beauty around the world. Yes, there are billions of beautiful woman around the world in unique and different way. But no one was exactly look like Marina.”

I was a little surprised to the story and the information that someone looked like me. Not an ordinary person but a half angel and half human. Goose bumps started to creep
