Cornelia sat at the back of her History class, staring out the window closest to her.

She glanced around at the gardens, how she wished she could go outside and whiz up some of her magic. To her, the gardens around the school were looking a little dull.

"Cornelia?" she heard a shout.

She turned to see Mr. Robertson standing right infront of her.

"Uhhhhh." Cornelia searched the class and everyone had their eyes on her, even some were giggling.

"Your test." Mr. Robertson put out his hand, his face expression told Cornelia that she must of been ignoring him for awhile.

"Oh right." Cornelia just casually passed her paper to him with a small smile.

Mr. Robertson stamped away, obviously upset that she was the only one that wasn't complaining about his pop quiz. It seemed Mr. Robertson was always trying to get Cornelia to fail anything in his class, she was his best student though.

Cornelia once again peeked out the window, just thinking.

Something caught her attention, she glimpsed something shoot pass the window.

She quickly turned and saw him, her dream boy was jogging down the street.

Thoughts ran through her head as long with dreams. She saw all the images, her and her dream boy together.

She noticed he would soon reach the end of her sight.

What would she do? Follow him or stay in school.

Cornelia wasn't the type which skipped, but this was her dream boy. The boy she never could get off her mind, the one she never actually met.

Cornelia heard Mr. Robertson grumble again, she looked up to see him staring at her from his desk.

She knew he wanted her attention, but she had to follow her dream boy.

"Mr. Robertson, I'm just not feeling well. May I lay down in the office?" She asked as she groaned, pretending to be sick.

Cornelia was of course allowed to go, Mr. Robertson had no excuse to let her not. She had never skipped ever in her life, but now she had to.

Cornelia swayed out the door and dashed down the hallway, she was actually skipping. Running out of the school and down the sidewalk, she jogged after the boy.

Taranee walked out the school doors and walked up to Will.

"I can't do this." She said flatly.

"Oh of course you can." Will said encourangly.

"My mom doesn't even know I'm going out with him." Taranee partially whined.

"I'll go past your house on the way home and tell her." Will smiled at her shy friend.

"Ya that will be great, 'Taranee's going out with that guy you sentenced to work at the museum for breaking in, she should be back soon.' I'm sure my mom will take that well, she's very protective." Taranee said.

"Stop with the excuses." Will giggled out.

"Look he's over there, go with him. Just for awhile." Taranee couldn't deny her friend, she wanted to go out with Nigel.

Taranee waved to Will and quietly walked over to Nigel.

"Hey Taranee." Nigel said as she approached him.

"Hi." Taranee said as her face began to turn red.

"I was thinking, we could go to the new seafood restaurant down the street." Nigel said as he pointed in the direction it was in.

"I so wanted to go to that one!" Taranee shouted out.

"Same here, I was waiting for a special occasion though." Nigel said as he looked at Taranee's face that was once again turning bright red.

She walked beside him as the headed towards the restaurant. Taranee relaxed, being with Nigel wasn't a bad thing at all. She didn't care if her mother got mad at her or not.

Cornelia followed him into town and down into an alley way, she never let her eyes off of him.

Turning a corner she found the boy gone, he just disappeared.

She searched everywhere around the alleyway, perhaps there was a secret door somewhere.

After awhile, she gave up and decided just to walk around town.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Taranee walked out the restaurant door, her hand in Nigel's.

After a great evening of laughing and telling stories, she thought she knew everything about Nigel. He liked the same stuff as her, he didn't care if she blushed (which she did most of the time) and he was such a gentlemen.

"I'll take you home." Nigel said as he pulled her down her street.

"Thanks." Taranee said as she looked up at the moon.

"You like the moon too." Nigel said as if reading her mind.

"Ya, I get a great vie from my appartment window." Taranee said as she still kept her eyes on the moon.

"I watch it all the time, before I go to bed." Nigel said as he too looked up at it.

"I do too." She didn't even look at him, she didn't have to. She felt his presence, his hand in hers.

She looked up at Nigel and noticed his face turn white. He was staring right up the street at something.

It took Taranee a moment for her to see it, Cedric was slithering down the street.

She gasped, Cedric had already seen her….she couldn't run. That would mean she would have to fight, but Nigel didn't know about her being a Gaurdian of the Veil.

She glanced at him and saw that he was frozen in fear.

She didn't have much time to think, Cedric knew that Taranee would be at a disadvantage in her own town.

Cedric launched himself at Taranee and Nigel, they both dodged to the right.

Nigel looked at Taranee surprised, she actually dodged. It seemed like she was less afraid then him.

"Nigel…….." Taranee didn't know what to tell him, but it was time for her to use her powers.

Taranee raised her fist as she stood infront of Nigel.

"Taranee, what do you think your doing?" Nigel sounded scared, not for himself but for her.

She smiled as she let off a huge ball of fire, it hit Cedric right in the face.

Cedric put his hands to his face, trying to get rid of the pain.

Taranee took the moment to make a run for it.

She grabbed Nigel's arm who was just staring at the now injured snake.

Taranee took out her cell phone to call Will, as she did the girl's phone line was busy.

She looked back to see Cedric go though a portal, probably to report all that happened.

"Taranee……..what did you do? What are you?"

Taranee looked at Nigel, was he afraid of her?

"Nigel…I don't know if you'll believe me, but I have the power over fire. I'm a guardian of the Veil, someone who keeps monsters away from ………..earth." She looked away, scared he'd be afraid of her.

She was surprised to feel soft lips being pressed to her cheek.

She turned to see Nigel blushing from the contact.

"I understand." Nigel whispered.

She didn't know what to say, he actually believed her.

She noticed they were at her house, the night ended too quickly for her. She had finally told Nigel and she had no more time to actually explain it better, he probably was thinking she was a freak.

Taranee looked at her house to make sure her mom wasn't looking, the coast was clear. She bent forward and planted a small kiss on his cheek and ran for her front door.

Before she reached it though, she heard her mother's voice.

"Taranee get in here now, we have some serious talking to do."

He watched from the roof he was crouched on, the girl was searching for him. Why did she even follow him, he didn't think she actually knew him.

He looked down at the girl's pale skin and her determined blue eyes, he had only seen her in his dreams.

He couldn't let her see him, that would ruin his chances of saving Princess Elyon. The girl was the Princess's old best friend, if Elyon was going to trust him he couldn't be with this girl.

He looked down at her again, to find her turning out the alleyway and heading back into town.

She had almost found his portal, if she did she would of called up her friends and destroyed it. He needed it though to travel back through dimensions.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cornelia sat in her room, once again staring at her dream boy drawing, she had almost caught him.

Maybe she wanted him so bad that she had just seen him walking down the street, she skipped class for it too.

Seeing him must of just been a mirage.
