Chapter 2

"Ow..."

'floor 3, apartment number 5, floor 3, apartment number 5, floor 3, apartment number 5…' repeated a nervous first year while walking through the pink hallways of the school. Her light green eyes checking every door for the number 5. She was so focused on her door reading that she didn't notice the tall figure walking in front of her.

CRASH!

Ending with both laying on the floor. Professor Darkell was just retreating to his apartment, thinking about tomorrow's first lessons, when he had accidentally bumped into a soft object before landing on a much less soft floor. He discovered that the obstacle was actually a girl. A nice looking girl with wavy dark blond hair cascading from her shoulders and smooth caramel skin which was well exposed by her short skirt and her green almost shoulder less top.

"Ow..." He heard her quietly mutter. When she finally looked up at him, he was met by big green eyes. Her aura was quite interesting, it surrounded her calmly and elegantly in mixes of pink and green. That probably meant that she was good at potions, surely a nature fairy. It had been a long time since he hadn't seen one of those. At Alphea they were very rare, and it had been a while since he hadn't gone to visit other planets. However he just concluded she was just going to be another one of those pretty girls hanging at every word he said.

When the fairy could finally see straight, and apologize to the other victim of the altercation, she was met with the sight of a handsome young man, standing up and looking at her, a helping hand outstretched for her to grab. She felt like this man's pale tone and messy hair were familiar to her, she was sure she had seen him before… Wait a minute! Wasn't he one of the teachers standing next to Mrs. Fargonda?

'Oh great Flora, why not start the year by knocking teachers off their feet, literally, that'll certainly put you on their favorite students list!' However she just gratefully accepted his help.

And after helping her stand up, the awkward silence was quickly interrupted by the professor clearing his throat and returning once again to his charming act. The same act that won him the love of all those clueless girls:

" Oh please do forgive me, I wasn't watching where I was going. Are you all right? " he said putting on his most convincing concerned smile.

Something was wrong with this teacher, Flora could feel it. His whole body said he really felt sorry but his hazel eyes showed something completely different. They were cold as ice, contrasting with his smile. But what really bothered her were the lack of warmth in them, more exactly the lack of acknowledgment for her. Flora had always been good at hearing, feeling and seeing things that others did not, it probably came from her nature powers.

From then on she knew that the man in front of her was someone hiding behind a mask. Hiding that coldness behind a mask of warmth and cold and dark aura made her feel uneasy. She needed to get away from him and fast.

"Oh I'm alright. Please do not apologize it was my fault too. Well I have to go. It was nice meeting you, sir, good bye." And she quickly walked away in what she hoped was the right direction.

What the hell!? Did he just get dismissed? Usually the less confident fairies would find an excuse to stay and ask questions about the school and him. Unlike the overconfident ones who would just plainly flirt with him. Those were the annoying types. But this one just simply apologized and ran away leaving him standing there like an idiot. Who did she think she was?!

Nevermind she was probably embarrassed or even intimidated by him. Yeah, that is it she already knew she had no hope of catching his attention. Too bad, she was actually quite attractive. Anyway, he continued his way to his apartment, putting the little accident in the back of his mind. Thus he went back on organizing his lessons on the creation of Omega for his 3rd years.
