"Just look at her Aram," The new mother Airi said smiling, cradling her newborn baby. "Isn't she just beautiful?" The father, Aram walked over to his wife and traced his fingers around the newborn baby girl's face.
"She looks just like you; she has your fiery red hair." He said kissing Airi on the forehead and then the baby; she smiled at her loving husband.
"Oh, I can't wait to show her how to cook and read and show her the gorgeous things in life!"
"Not to mention magic, right?" He took seat next to his wife, "We do plan to teach her magic right?"
"Well, Aram, I don't think I want her to grow up in here." She said avoiding Aram gaze. "I don't want her to grow up in the kingdom; I want her to have a normal life."
"Are you saying that I didn't have one?" Aram said cooking up an eyebrow.
"No, no, that isn't what I meant. I mean, maybe when she is older she can learn it, if that is what she wishes." Her face growing red.
As the parents talked, the little baby girl fell asleep in her mothers arms.
(Sixteen years latter)
"Fiddle sticks! I'm late again!" I picked up my bag and rush out the door of the school library. I fumbled in my bag looking for my scarf, wait, were is it? "Shoot, forgot it!" I shuffle back into the library, being careful not to slip on the ice on the ground.
"Back again?" Miss.Shon the librarian asks me as a speed walk past her desk, I didn't have time to be polite and reply, I was going to be late, and mom was always worries when I don't return at the right time.
Just what I needed, someone else I sitting there. I slow my pace down to a walk. Before I even reach the desk I can see this student was setting on it, but not just any student, but Ikuto. I could see his straight, natural black hair hanging over a book.
"Stay calm" I told myself, I hade been banded from specking to him from his crazy girlfriend. I was also told that I could breathe the same air as him, yeah just try and stay calm.
"Um, excuses me." I said weakly, all I wanted to do is get my scarf and walk back from were I came from.
His eyes slowly ventured away from his book and greeted me with a smile. "Hello Ren, am I in your seat?" I didn't answer 'cause I was to busy staring into his perfect green eyes. "Um, Ren?"
This was the first time I have had a chance to really take a look at him, his black hair covered part of the right part of his face and his skin was pail, making his dazzling eyes stand out even more. "Um…Ren, you are starting to creep me out. Say something, please." I realized I was staring and then picked up my scarf and pulled it out from under him and turn on my heel and walked back to the door. Ikuto was calling, but I didn't stop for him.
"Just keep looking at the exit sing." I told myself, I pushed the class doors open and wrapped my scarf around my red face and stormed down the road.
Safelly at my front door I pulled out my key, the door was already unlocked, I placed my things out of the way and ran over to the staircase leading to my room. "Lost track off time at the library, sorry, going to my room to study." I yelled into the living room.
I closed the door to my room then sank to the floor, my head between my knees. "Oh god, I'm an idiot, I can't believe I let myself to that, stare at him with out having a reason." I felt sick to my stomach, but that wasn't the worst of it. One of girlfriend's clones properly saw me there." Yeah, for you who don't know the history between me and Ikuto, well we were good friends in elementary, insuperable. Unfortunately when we were entering are 5th year, his parents thought it would be a good idea to send him away to learn how to be responsible. No one even knew he gad left, we were the outsiders me and Ikuto, aka, people with brains and not bronze. He was my only friend, which left me with my books and pencils when he was shipped off to who knows were. We both lived are lives and kept in touch, I could tell he was changing by the content of his letters.
He just returned three month ago, with him came a new attitude, new popularity and the most noticeable, his looks. In these three months he has hooked up with the girl that used to pull my hair and pull of his glasses and push him into the teachers' bathroom. This girl, whom I call Black Widow, for reasons I don't want to get into right now.
"You in here cutie?" A voice asked from the other side of the door.
"Mariabel?" I opened the door, "What are you doing here?"
"You mean I can't visit you?" She said pulling me into a hug. "How long has it been, let's take a look at you" Mariabel pushed me back into my room and examined me head to toe. "You do look taller and your hair has grown out, you look just like your mother did at your age. I must take you shopping, we are going out tonight!"
"I have school tomorrow; I don't think it is such a great idea."
"Oh, come on, how often do you get taken on a date?" She said grabbing my wrists and pulling me back down the stairs.
I looked around as I was pulled out the door. "Is mom and dad here?" Mariabel pulled a coat around her and threw one at me.
"No, your father has some family issues, so his mother went with him."
"Let me guess, they left you in charge?" I pulled my seat belt on beside Mariabel.
"Wow, you are smart, and that means you are not getting out of my plans this evening. When ladies are asked out you do not decline."
"You mean this wasn't your idea?" I said, my voice creaking in the middle of my sentence.
"No, an old friend from home and his son asked us out. Your fathers cousin, a very important man, so please remember your manners."
