The girls finished classes and headed into town.
"Was it me or was Wizgiz's lecture today super hard?" Musa asked.
Flora honestly didn't know what to say because she really wasn't listening to the lecture. She was to busy thinking about her ball. In a couple of weeks she would be going to find out who she would be spending the rest of her life with. The whole idea scared her a little bit.
"Hey look!" Stella's yelling broke Flora from her train of thought. "The boys are here too." Stella ran and tackled Brandon.
Flora watched as all the boys met up with their girlfriends. She looked for a guy with midnight blue hair. When she saw that he wasn't with the rest of the boys a wave of sadness came over Flora.
"Hey guys I'm going to go run to the flower shop real quick. I'll meet up with you at the mall in a little bit."
"Okay Flora see you then." Bloom was still holding onto Sky.
Flora walked down the street for a while until she saw the flower shop.
"Well hello there Flora. I haven't seen you here for some time." The store clerk smiled at her favorite customer.
"Sorry, I have been real busy lately."
"I'm glad to see that you still have time to visit my little shop."
"What do you mean? This is my favorite shop in all the town of Magix. It always reminds me of home."
"So how are you parents and sister? I hope they are doing well."
"They are good. I just recently went to see them. Although it was not under the best circumstances." A frown came across Flora's face.
"Oh no. What happened?"
"Well apparently I am betrothed and my parents won't tell me who."
The florist gave her a kind smile. She was about to say something when the door opened. "Ah, my other favorite regular."
Flora turned around and was stunned by who she saw. "Hel…Helia."
Helia turned and saw Flora and smiled. "Hey Flora. Nice to see you again."
Flora just blushed, not sure what to say. Luckily the store clerk jumped in, "What do I owe this pleasure?"
"I was hoping to order some flowers."
"Of course. What would you like?"
"Can I order a dozen yellow roses please?"
"No problem. They should be ready in two days."
"Thank you." Helia paid and then looked over to Flora. "So what are you doing here?"
"Oh I just came to check out what is new. I try to come at least once a week. I'm meeting up with the rest of the group at the mall after this."
"That sounds nice."
"Um… would you like to join us?" Flora blushed. She wasn't use to asking a guy out, well sort of.
Helia smiled. "I think I can do that." Helia went and held the door opened for Flora.
As Flora walked out the door the store clerk said "Don't worry Flora, I am sure everything will turn out as you want it."
