Callan POV
It was early the next morning when I heard a whispering noise. I opened my eyes and saw a trail of small blue lights. I blinked several times thinking it was a figment of my imagination. I tried to go back to sleep but the whispering got annoying. I finally got up and went to touch the light but it moved. I gasped and realized what they where. I heard my mum's voice in the back of my mind.
"Travelers—particularly those who venture out after sunset on unfamiliar pathways—beware of the will o' the wisps."
I couldn't fight my curiosity. I slipped on a pair of flats and ran after the disappearing lights. I followed them to the tourney field and into the forest. I groaned as they disappeared completely. I looked around trying to find a way back to the main trail. After what felt like an hour I gave up looking and sat down on a large stone. I leaned back and saw the sunrise through the trees. The morning rays warming my skin. I heard twigs break and saw the adonas who had been somewhat plaguing my thoughts.
"Oh sorry didn't mean to interrupt." He said with a light blush.
I snorted while trying not to laugh. "You didn't interrupt anythin'. I just got lost is all." I said standing up.
"I could show you the way back." He said with a smile.
"I'd like that thanks. Oh I'm Callan." I said as we walked through the thick underbrush.
"Well Callan I'm Jay." He said as we reached the tourney field.
"I can go from here. Thanks Jay." We shook hands and I felt a kind of electricity go through me.
I bit my lip and ran towards my room blushing. I ran into Evie who was still in her pajamas.
Sarina POV
It was nice and warm when I walked up to the schools front door. I had a bag in each hand as I entered the door. I stopped a skinny boy with a clipboard. He seemed a little on edge when he turned to look at me.
"Excuse me but I need my schedule, room information, and my locker number please." I said with a smile.
"Um. Yea. I need your name first." He said gulping a little.
"Oh yeah. I'm Sarina." I said as he started looking through the papers.
"Here you go. Um your roommate hasn't shown up yet. So for the next few days you have the room to yourself." He said scurrying off after handing me the paper.
I shrugged and walked to the room to put away my stuff. I put away my art books and my clothes before taking my most used art book to a shady spot away from the tourney field. I opened it and started to sketch a picture of a guy playing with his dog. I was half way through with the sketch when the dog ran up to me and jumped into my lap. I started laughing as he licked me. The dogs owner ran up and pulled him off.
"Sorry about Dude. He gets excited about meeting new friends." He said with a giant smile.
I couldn't help but smile with him. "Its fine really. I love dogs." I said scratching the dogs ears.
The dog yipped and started to lick me again which made us both laugh.
Ethan POV
I pulled off my sunglasses before walking into the school. I had to stop a scrawny kid with glasses so I could get my information. I followed the map to my room where it looked like the whole room had been taken over. I huffed and moved all of the stuff that was on my side of the room over to my roommates side. I doubt he was going to be happy when he came back and saw it. I started to unpack my clothes and items I had brought with me from home. I even set up my music player in my window sill. I looked out the window and sighed at the view. I was going to miss the view of the ocean that I had from my room at home. Once I finished unpacking I went to look around the school. I picked up a flyer of the wall that said something about a back to school ball. I folded up the flyer and started to walk back to my room.
Callan POV
I was having dinner Lonnie when Evie ran right up to the table and sat down.
"Did you hear?" She squealed happily.
"Hear what? I asked sipping a milkshake.
"There is going to be a ball the day before school starts." She said excitedly.
"Where did you hear that Evie?" Lonnie asked eating a bite of her salad.
"From this." She said pulling a flyer from her purse. "I'm going to get some new buisness. I can't wait. I'm going to put up a flyer of my own to let people know that I am willing to make a dresses for a low price." She said happily before skipping off.
I smiled behind my milk shake. Lonnie just laughed at her before we walked back to our room. I flopped down on my bed and opened a book about the wisp legend. I rolled on to my stomach while reading as Lonnie started to brush her hair before getting ready for. I put the book back on the nightstand and did the same.
I would like to thank theoneandonlytrueflame for the oc Ethan and I hope that I gave him justice.
