It was later that night when Emma figured out Tancred had asked Tracy out. She heard Lysander and him while they were in the king's room that night.

"So why'd you do it?" Lysander wondered.

"You know that girl I danced with at the ball?" Tancred asked.

Lysander nodded.

"There's a chance it might be her."

When Emma heard these words, she felt her heart break in two. How could Tancred be so stupid? His mystery girl was sitting right in front of him and he hadn't even noticed. He'd just looked right through her.

Even at Bloor's, Emma didn't feel like anyone truly cared.


The next day at break, Emma ran into a girl with crazy, purple hair.

"I'm so sorry!" Emma gasped as she helped the drama student up.

"It's okay." The girl laughed. "I'm Olivia."

"I'm Emma."

Olivia smiled at Emma. "You must be new here. I haven't seen you before. So you're here for art, are you?"

"I'm here because I'm endowed."

"Oh, yah? What's your endowment?"

"I can turn into a bird and fly." Emma said.

"That's really cool." Olivia smiled, thinking how the endowments around her were getting unique and amazing even more every day.

At that moment, Tancred passed them and Emma's heart jumped into her throat. On his arm, he had Tracy Morsell; the fake mystery girl of Tancred's and Emma thought it wrong that Tracy, who didn't seem anything like Emma or the way Emma acted at the dance. She probably didn't even care for Tancred. She probably just thought of him as some boy that stepped into her life and will step out soon.

Emma hopped that was the case, that the two would break up. She wasn't all that confident in telling Tancred her feelings, but she would give him the biggest hint of his life. When he broke up with Tracy, if it ever happened, then Emma would find a way to tell him.

It was too bad that Emma didn't have her tollroc drawing with her and never would again. If only Emma knew it rested in Tancred's back pocket as she thought, just trying to call out for its rightful owner so it could give her back her luck, which had actually never left.

Over the week, Olivia and Emma became very good friends. Olivia invited Emma to go down to the cathedral with her over the weekend.

It was the perfect time, because the Moon's were going away on Friday and would not be coming back until Sunday, so Emma agreed.

"There's this nice little bookshop there too, since you like to read so much." Olivia told her. "It's called Ingledew's or something, but it's really nice. The books there are older, but I think you'll enjoy them and the place looks so cozy."

"Okay Olivia, I don't need to be persuaded to go into a bookstore, I'm in."

"Okay, meet me in front of the cathedral at noon." Olivia waved and bounced onto the purple bus.

Emma sighed and out of the corner of her eye, she caught Tancred and Tracy hugging, since they wouldn't see each other for the weekend.

Emma clenched her fists and stomped onto the bus and sat by herself.

Tancred and Lysander sat behind her and they talked about Tracey Morsell the whole time they were on the bus, striking up Emma's nerves greatly and she was happy when they got off and she could sit in peace for a few minutes before her torture with the Moon's started.

When Emma walked through the door, she was ordered to put last minute touches on their luggage and carry all one thousand bags out to the car.

At least she wouldn't have to worry about them all weekend, but on Sunday, they would torture Emma and make her clean every inch of the house with a toothbrush, just knowing how vile they were.

Emma sighed with relief and fell onto the couch and picked up the phone and called Alexis.

"Hello?" Said her sweet, sixty-year-old voice.

"Alexis, can you drive to the Cathedral tomorrow? I'm going to meet one of my friends at noon." Emma asked.

"Sure, honey." Alexis agreed to drive Emma. "Now, what's bugging you?"

Emma told Alexis about what had happened at Bloor's that week with Tancred Torsson and she cried as she did.


I agree with those of you who kicked Tancred. I mean, what has gotten into him! oh, wait. I'm the writer, i do know, i'm the one that made it up;D. if Emma's going to Ingledew's do you know what that means?"
