Chapter 1
Lillian's P.O.V
I hopped off my bed. Light shined through my open circular window, making me squint my eyes and smile. I went through the kitchen to grab a mango, and headed out the door, then walking about the streets of Avalon to get to the academy. I smiled as she ate the fresh, ripe mango, and watched young summer faerie mentees learning how to light sparklers and arrange flowers for parties.
When I got to my potions class, I sat down next to my lab partner Jake. I could barly hold my breath. He was my best friend, and I knew we could be more. He smiled at me with his straight white teeth. I grinned back, praying that I wasn't blushing. He was amazing. He had perfect blonde hair and tan skin with amazing blue eyes and a mucsled feature. I quickly escaped my gaze, and tryed to focus on the board as our teacher Ms. Hoolagan gave us our daily instructions.
Kira's P.O.V
I grinned at Lillian when she walked through the door of the potions class, but she was to busy focusing on Jake. Sometimes I wondered if she ever had time for her friends. I slapped myself, mad that I had talked with Jake about asking her out yesterday, and he is going to. Damn that plan seemed perfect until now.
"Kira what is the potion we use to heal sick plants?" Ms. Hoolagan asked me suddenly.
"Willow Whisp." I answered with a smile. Ms. Hoolagan nodded with pleasure. Ugh. I hated being smart sometimes. Potions may be my best class anyway, but I am still called a freak here at the academy.
After class, I pulled Lillian aside.
"So what's been going on with you and Jake?" I grinned
Lillian tensed, managing to stifle a grin. "I told you, we're just friends."
I rolled my eyes and we walked to our next class.
Hope's P.O.V
I walked silently to my herbs class, glancing at Lillian and Kira as they passed me. I did not want to talk to them by all means. I still couldn't believe that prank they pulled off at the last Winter Festival. It still angered me allthough the prank was last year. They imported snow from the human world! It tasted terrible and Hermison our King had been sick for days. I knew I was going to have to talk to them eventually, but today was not going to be that day.
Adam's P.O.V
As usual, I had gotten to herbs class early. I pulled out my cell phone to make a quick call to Jake.
"Hey man!" Jake answered.
"Did you ask her yet?" I questioned him. Jake kept chikening out to ask Lillian, the hot summer faerie out for days. Then again I had been to chicken to ask Jade out. Ok but that's not the point!
"No..." Jake muttered.
"Well she and Kira just got here now!" I said winking at Lillian, who grinned and sat at a table with Jade, Kira, and Raymond.
Jake hung up on me. I sighed. I will never figure that kid out.
Jake's P.O.V
I rushed into class just as the bell rang. Sighing with relief, I pulled up a chair and sat with Sean, Adam, and Hope.
"I blame you for this!" I joked with Adam as I filled a pot with soil.
Mr. Dustle was giving us instructions on how to plant magic beans. Not paying attention, I glanced at Lillian, who held my gaze for a second, blushed, and looked away. I smiled but tried to hide it. Suddenly, Sean slapped me on the back.
"atta' kid!" He laughed. "Damn you guys are cute. Never give up on this chick." Sean walked back to seat from across from me and sat down. Adam and Hope laughed.
I shook my head, and planted some magic beans.
Jade's P.O.V
At lunch, something happened to everybody. I sware to god today's lunch was the most amazing, and intense lunch ever. It all started when Hope sat with us at lunch. And she was talking. I had never heard her talk to us before since about a year ago. That's when I knew something was up. Then it happened. It was great.
Let me give you the details. Jake asked out Lillian. Lillian said yes. Adam asked me out. I said yes. Raymond asked out Kira. Kira said no. I was shocked. Ray is a hot, tan red-head. He's super nice, and he's really brave. I guess she just doesn't like guys that way. As I ate the rest of my blueberries, I just wondered why in hell did Hope all of a sudden look so sad. I can't wait to find out.
