Lila’s POV

“Lila! Are you okay? What happened?” Becca asked as she caught up with me. I was walking toward the

student lounge after I left Headmaster Prescott’s office and my head was still whirling from all the

information that was just given to me. I looked at Becca who stared back at me with concern in her

eyes. I went to open my mouth to answer but then the crackling of the campus speakers stopped me.

“Good afternoon, students. This is Headmaster Tiffany Prescott. I know you are all wound up after the

events that unfolded earlier today, and I wanted to personally apologize to each of you for not realizing

something was going on and putting an end to it right away. Going forward we are going to be putting

in some extra security to ensure that nothing like this happens again. The school counselor is also

opening her doors to any students for the next couple of weeks so you can see her without an

appointment. My doors, along with my fellow board members’ doors, will also be open to anyone

needing some extra guidance in these unforeseen weeks. I assure you that the issue at hand has been

dealt with and nothing like this will ever happen again. I’d like to remind students that using their

abilities on one another is forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or

anyone you know is in fact using their abilities on their peers, I advise that you come forward. We will be

looking into all students with abilities and if we find you are using your abilities dishonorably, we will be

forced to take measures. I know it’s been a long day for many of you so I’m canceling classes for the

rest of the day and I suggest each of you get some rest to recoup. Dinner will be served per usual in the

dining hall at 5 pm.” She paused for a moment; only allowing the light buzzing of the speaker to roam

around the campus ground. Becca and I stood, staring up at the sky as if Headmaster Prescott’s face

was there. “Also, let me be the first to congratulate Lila for winning the election and becoming the firstever President of the Student Committee. First thing Monday morning Lila will begin her duties and her

first meeting with be held Monday at 2 pm. If anyone wants to join the committee, please see Lila. With

that being said if anyone has any questions or concerns, please speak with your assigned advisors, or

directly. Thank you and have a very blessed day.” The
