Life was simple for Edalyn Clawthorne, despite being so young; She managed to join Grudgby's team, she had a power very similar to that of her older sister Lilith, she was the greatest prankster and troublemaker in the history of Hexside, and although Bump did not allow her to study more than one track, she found how to break the rules and learn everything when discovering a room that connected with all areas of the school. She was there now, skipping her second potion mixing class to learn something more interesting as she always did, today was the day to study a bit of healing magic that, although it didn't appeal to her much, was still useful knowledge that she wanted to have.

She opened the door to the Advanced Healing class, she poked her head just a little to be sure that no one saw her, luckily the classroom was still empty, so without worries she sat in front of the door to wait for class to start to take some notes. Her stomach began to growl at him, she had skipped lunch to prepare a prank on the girls' lockers. She had a quick visit to the cafeteria and then she would be totally ready learn, after all she couldn't have a learning day with an empty stomach.

Camille Nogueira was always the first to arrive to the classroom, maybe it was because she liked the clean floors were, maybe it was because the teacher was always nice to her, maybe it was because healing magic was something natural for her, or maybe it was because nothing made her happier than helping others, the only thing she was sure of was that she was always the first to arrive in the classroom. Once her books were placed on her side of the table, she took out her notebook and began to do a quick check of her notes, after all, although people said she was a prodigy for being able to be in the advanced class even when she was 12 years old, she he had to work hard to keep up. Everything was quiet in the corridors that day, so the voice that she heard behind her back, even if it was almost a whisper from her, caught her attention.

"Oh yeah, a nice bowl of juicy eyes is what mama needs for this day." She wanted to ignore it and continue to check her notes, but curiosity got the best of her, and Camille got up to see where that voice had come. It was definitely not from the hallway because it was still deserted, it couldn't be another room because the advanced healing class was basically in the far corner of Hexside, and it couldn't be one of the school spirits because they didn't eat. As he searched with his eyes, he noticed that something was wrong with the supply closet, it looked as if a part of the wall where it rested was not aligned with the rest, and when he got closer he noticed that it was a kind of door.

"Hello?" She poked her head inside the mysterious room behind the door, nobody was at sight, "Its someone here?" She took a step inside only to slip with the notebook that was abandoned on the floor in front of the door, before she could do anything she had already fallen down the spiral gap that separated the floors, something hit the ground, but it wasn't Camille's body.

Camille was in the surprisingly strong arms of another girl who seemed to be her own age, a bowl of juicy eyes was lying on the floor. They both stared for seconds that seemed like minutes, their eyes fixed on each other without even blinking, red on gold and gold on red, it was finally that the orange haired girl broke the silence. "Hi," she said with a big playful and smug smile that showed well what permanent fangs looked like, "Be careful cutie, next time I could have my sense that tells me when a pretty girl is in danger turned off." It was a phrase that any Casanova would use in an attempt to easily impress, and yet Camille couldn't help but feel her blood rush to her cheeks.

["Eda".

"What? That's exactly how it happened".

"I may have been away from the isles for years, but my memory is as good as it was 30 years ago".

"Fine, you got me this time".]

The orange-haired girl let out a deep sigh, she had hurried and barely managed to catch the girl who somehow got into the secret room of shortcuts. Her legs were shaking a little because of how sudden everything had been, but she managed to stay in foot. Eda lowered her head to look at the girl she had just saved, her red eyes immediately caught her as if it were a spell, her cheeks turned a deep pink color and noticing that the other girl was also getting a similar color just intensify it to a deep red. "H... Hey!" She managed to say, and the other girl answered her in the same way.

After a few seconds of looking at each other in awkward silence, Eda let the girl down to stand on her own. Camille looked away as she tried to get her cheeks back to a more normal color, and by doing so she gave him a good view of where they were. A large circular room with windows and doors all over the place, all the sizes and all shapes she could imagine "Wow".

Eda's mind returned to its senses once she realized something important, she had been discovered. "I guess this is when the fun is over, and I go back to the boring mixing potions class." She mumbled, putting her hands on her face a little frustrated.

"Excuse me?" Camille said approaching, Eda moved one hand to see from her eye's corner and she seemed to get that it was a sign that she continued "What is this place? I have never heard of a place like this".

Eda let out a small sigh, one day she would have to learn to use a distraction spell or something similar to escape from situations like this. "Well cutie, this is the secret room of shortcuts, connect each and every section of Hexside in a place from which it is easy to access," If she was going to go to the detention course for a long time the least she could do was be honest with whom I caught, "I applaud your cunning for having found an access from the outside, it is almost impossible to achieve. And before you give me away with Bump I would like to have the name of the witch who surpassed me once."

Camille blushed a little again after being called cutie, but managed to stay focused on speaking, "Well about that, the door was already open and I just followed your voice," Eda completely lost her cocky posture and widened her eyes in surprise, "Second, why would I report you to Principal Bump?".

"Because I'm skipping classes to learn other subjects?".

"Oh well that is against the rules but..." Camile looked at the notebook with which she had slipped when entering and that now she was resting on the floor near juicy eyes. I look for a few seconds at the notes Eda had from other classes, "Are you really interested in learning all types of magic?".

"Of course I do, if I will be in the emperor's coven in the future with my sister then why limit myself to learning only one type now?" Eda regained her assurance and crossed her arms over her chest.

Camille stared at her, she could really see the great passion of her inside her, that made her feel a great admiration and another feeling that she could not describe. "I will not tell anyone."

"What?".

"I will not tell anyone about this place or what you do here," Eda's smile started to get bigger and bigger, it was too good to be true, "But" And there was what she feared, "You will never learn anything about Advanced Healing if you only spy what we do, what if I help with after school studies? " That was something much better than Eda expected.

"Wait are you in that class? But that class is for people almost ready to graduate, and you can be older than me".

""Where do you think it came in when you left the door open?" The comment threw Eda off balance again.

"Whatever," She tried to compose herself again, "How about we talk about that deal at lunch tomorrow? After all, you already owe me some juicy eyes".

Camille giggled a little, and Eda did her best to ignore the sensation in her stomach at hearing that laugh. "That reminds me, answering your last question, I'm Camille, Camille Nogueira," she extended her hand to the other girl, "Nice to meet you".

"Eda, Eda Clawthorne." They both shook each other's hand while keeping eye contact, a smile creeped into Camille's face before she let go.

"Well, the class should start at any moment Eda, if you want I could seat closer to where the door is to give you some extra information".

"Sure Cam, I will need to get use to your learning process if you are going to teach me something later, but let me warn you, if mama gets bored in class, then its prank time babe!".

Camille laughed again, but this time covering her mouth because they were already in front of the classroom secret door, "Then I'll make sure that you don't get bored".

It was the best class Eda had had since she started doing all of that. Yes, she probably didn't understand anything by keeping her eyes fixed on her new friend all the time but ignoring the frenzy in her chest that she told him was probably something else. Nah, it couldn't be, surely Camille would get bored of her soon enough, but until then Eda would enjoy her time.
