Chapter 79: Saved
Jules’ pov
After being forced into the car with the principal and Kim this time, I was fully aware that I was undoubtedly in danger. I kept demanding to be released until the principal ordered Kim to shove a piece of clothing into my mouth to shut off, muffling my screams at once. I kept desperately willing for my powers to come back to me, even for a fleeting moment. I was yet to master most of my abilities before my magic got sealed off, but I’d still be able to successfully escape with a very very easy spell.
Unfortunately for me, my powers still remained locked, and it didn’t seem like i’d be getting saved from my plight tonight. The principal kept accepting calls throughout the car ride, informing people that he was bringing ’the boy’ which was obviously me, to them.
When he pulled up in front of a hotel, my panic tripled and I almost passed out. He was let into the hotel without question and once in a very large room, he threw me into the bed while Kim began to pace around. I rolled off the bed and struggled with the bind around my hand while silently asking myself why I had agreed to get into the principal’s car in the first place despite having doubts.
I really am really dumb.
I berated myself over and over again while each screen I made got muffled. The principal got off his twentieth call and stop beside me on the ground, peering down at me.
"What’s the point of you struggling? They’re gonna be here soon anyway." He drawled, a laugh rolling off his tongue and I recoiled before starting to struggle with the binds once again.
"You know, no student has ever stressed me out like you did. You gave me a headache and made this job unnecessarily more complicated than usual, but I still ended up getting what I wanted anyway. Who’s the smartest now?" He demanded, dissolving into another round of laughter and I glared at him, wishing there was a way I could get back at him.
"Didn’t we do a job, Kim?" The principal asked a pacing Kim who threw him a whiltering look before stalking off to the table and grabbing a bottle of alcohol, downing a few mouthfuls at once.
"Can I leave now?" Kim demanded, worriedly biting on his bottom lip as his gaze grew unfocused a little. I watched as the principal rolled his eyes.
"Can you fucking relax? Nothing’s gonna happe—" He was still speaking through the pleased smile tugging at his lips when two knocks echoed off the door and he trailed off at once, growing tense. Kim’s eyes shot open and I watched his hands tremble as he carefully set the alcohol down.
