Magical Memories- Chapter Three
It had been three weeks since the car incident, as Lynn liked to call it. She remembered it clearly. Tai thinking that James had been mad at her for downgrading his Ferrari, had walked over and taken his hands off, of her shoulders.
"Man, we know it is the best car ever, no need to get physical here!" he said, pushing James slightly so he would back off.
James had let go of her almost immediately. His eyes showing the irritation he felt. But for some reason, she could tell it wasn't from her downgrading his car but more from Tai stopping the moment. But almost as though the whole thing was never an issue, his face resumed back a neutral expression within seconds.
"I am sorry Lynn. Guess I should take that break after all," he had said, before getting into his car and driving away. And what was that she had shouted. What was firebolt 3000 anyway? Her mind was seriously no help sometimes and nor were her parents as they informed her they had no idea of anything by that name. Her mother suggested it may have been a character in a cartoon or something. Now if only she could remember what a cartoon was!
One thing was clear the guy was hiding something. But when she had shared her opinion with Tai later, he had said she was reading into things. It was quite natural for guys to take offence about their car; although, he did agree there was no reason to get physical. He had then proceeded to tell her all about the best sports cars out there. And though it did not deter her motives from finding out more about James, it was a good distraction from making her feel frustrated all over again.
The week had gone fairly normally after that. James did not return to class until Friday. He had sat next to her again, and after apologising for his behaviour earlier that week they had conversed quite well. If truth was to be told, she had slowly started losing her suspicion about him. She actually liked spending time with him, and him being easy on the eyes certainly helped. Although she knew it was much more than that, that drew her to him.
She could tell, he had a sense of mischief in him when he decided to play a prank on one of their professor who everyone seemed to hate. Dr. Chilang would always arrive thirty minutes late to lectures and keep them for fifteen minutes longer after the end of each class. It was quite annoying when one had to run to their next class situated in another campus that was fifteen minutes away, in less than five minutes time and still be late for that class; and therefore miss a big chunk of it. And what was worse was the professor knew exactly what he was doing, and seemed to take pleasure at their discomfort of his students.
James had somehow managed to get his watch and make it almost forty minutes faster. Since his was the only watch he seemed to follow it did the trick quite well. Dr. Chilang was quite furious but whether it was for the prank or whether from his own realization he started to arrive on time after that.
This is what she was discussing sitting at the University Cafe with James, when her curiosity about him returned in full force. They both sat their with two hot chocolates talking about the events of the previous day.
"Come on tell me. How did you manage to get his watch?" she asked, waggling her eyes at him.
He chuckled at her antiques, shaking his head, his green eyes twinkling. Tai was in class so the two of them were enjoying their break. "My lady a master can never depart with his secrets," he said, bowing gently.
"James!" she pouted. "You are no fun."
He laughed again. His eyes always seemed to hold that same knowing look that she had seen in them the first time she saw him.
"Please, for me? I will even help you with psyc!"
"Not a chance Weasley!" said James, enjoying their playful banter.
Her eyes widened at being wrongly addressed. "Whitby," she corrected. "Its Whitby."
"Of course it is. Well Miss. Whitby since you are being so persistent, I will let you in on a secret." He said, smoothly hiding his previous slip up.
He gestured her to lean closer.
Her brown eyes watched as he reached at the back of his pant pocket and took out a thin wooden stick.
"Its the beauty of magic," he whispered in her ears; and then laughed loudly slipping back the stick before anyone noticed.
