“Go take a shower and come back tonight around seven.”
I nodded.
I took a shower around three when school was out. There were so many students here, and I held my head down low as I entered my room.
Why was it so hard for me to make friends?
BLAKE
I kicked George’s ass on the newest game I got. He was a bit grumpy lately but the guy refused to elaborate on that. Tabitha was lying on the couch. She knew we couldn’t be together anymore, but she kept gracing us with her presence. I wondered many times if I shouldn’t just break everything, even our friendship.
The door opened, and Lucian entered.
“What are you so happy about?” Tabitha asked Lucian.
“I just ran into Micha.”
“Le Clerk?” I paused the game and George protested.
“Yeah. She looked like she got in a great workout.”
I got what he was saying and put the console down. “You think she is here?”
“I don’t know. He was pretty adamant that she would not come, but she might be here. Why would Micha be here.”
I jumped up and left the room. Lucian followed.
“Give it a rest, Tabitha, she is his rider.” George's words reached my fine hearing.
“What did Micha say?”
“Nothing. I greeted her, she greeted me back and walked through the door leading to the dorms. She didn’t answer me when I asked her what she was doing here.”
We went first to the cafeteria. Lunch hours finished, but there were a few of the students hanging around, chatting with friends.
Both our eyes skidded through the people that occupied the tables and a few tweets about the Prince of Tith and Blake Leaf popped from their lips as their heartbeats thumped in my ears.
She wasn’t here, and we headed to the training courts. It was empty, but Elena’s scent lingered in the air. My body shifted as the bubbly feeling in my gut grew.
“She’s here?” Lucian asked.
“Yeah, her scent is in the air.”
“I guess he changed his mind.”
We ran up the girl’s dorms and the ones that chatted with each other on the stairs froze as we passed them and then shrieked using their inner voices.
We opened the first level door and walked down. All the girls stared at us and smiled. A couple of knocks led to more doors opening, and more curious faces peeking from their rooms. I could feel their eyes on the both of us.
I struggled to pin point her scent but it was lingering everywhere among the others.
There was no sign of my sister or Elena. The second level was the same.
A few of the girls actually introduced themselves to us. Lucian was such a flirt. Even asked if they knew the room to Elena Watkins.
They shook their heads.
“Just have a look at dinner. She is here.” Lucian smiled.
