Hello! Now this is the eighth chapter, and it's not much left! I will do ten chapters, plus a epilogue if you guys want it. This is a pretty crappy chapter, but I wanted to post. Just warning you... But we do have some Sopitz drama, witch I love to write. And in this chapter you will find out what song Keefe and Sophie will perform! Yes, I finally decided, but I want to you to know that I really appreciate all of the ideas you guys have given me! Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters... :(((((
Sophie POV
Tears ran down my face. It was just a dream Sophie. Just a bad, bad dream. But that didn't stop the scenes of cloaked creatures reaching in to torture my friends, from haunting my mind. The room was dark around me, as it always was when I woke from a nightmare. But something felt wrong. Why did my bed feel softer, and more luxurious than usual? And why was I wearing my everyday tunic instead of my pajamas? And where was the loud snoring from Iggy? That was always the first thing I heard when I woke up, so why was the room so quiet? I carefully sat up while wondering where I was, until memories from the day before started coming back to me. The movie night... Keefe in the sofa next to me... My head feeling heavier and heavier as I listened to his breaths instead of to the ghostly whispering memories of my old family. I must have fallen asleep there in the couch, and then someone (probably Biana) decided to let me sleep. That explained the luxury, I was still at the Vackers. I carefully got out of bed and walked out of the room on my tip-toes. I stopped in front of a big window. I looked out on the soft green hills, the fluffy trees and bushes, and the sky, that slowly turned pink as the sun begun to rise. It was beautiful. I was so stunned by the scene before me, that I didn't notice that someone walked up behind me.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes it is." I turned to face the dark haired boy beside me. "In the Forbidden cities, large buildings cover the sight, it's nice to see the sunrise like this." I smiled towards him. He returned it.
"Yeah... So what are you doing out here? Couldn't sleep?"
"Nightmare." He silently put one arm around me. "You know, I used to have this crush on you my first years here. It was crazy, but for some reason you never seemed to notice. That made it very hard to be around you some times. But you don't have to worry, I'm completely over it now. I just wanted you to know." And with that I left, and walked back to my room.
Fitz POV
Standing there with Sophie in front of the window at sunrise, was one of the best, still worst things I've ever experienced. Her hair was messed up in a cute way from sleeping, and the colored sky was reflected in her eyes, and lighted up her whole face with its soft glow. And I finally got my time with Sophie. But then she spoke the words that left my heart broken. "I'm completely over it now". Because the thing was, that I wasn't over it. I had never been, and would probably never be. And I knew that, just like Biana said, I had my chance.
Sophie POV
I glittered away Foxfire with Keefe, Biana and Fitz. We had spent the morning running around trying to find school uniforms to me and Keefe, and that hadn't been the easiest task. After a lot of trying on clothes, I was dressed in one of Della's old uniforms, since I'm to short for Biana's, and Keefe was dressed in one of Alvar's. It of course didn't look as good as normal, at least not on me, since I was a little bit small for Della's clothes, and Keefe was a little to muscular for Alvar's. But I tried to not think about that to much. When we got to school everyone ran of to their own locker to prepare for their first lesson, and so we went on throughout the day. Until it was time for the singing practice. I pulled the doors open to Dame Alina's office and was surprised when I saw that Keefe was already there. He was asking Dame Alina about something, to which she nodded and smiled in agreement. Then she turned to me.
"Miss Foster, I believe I and mr. Sencen just decided what song you will be performing on the summer dance!"
"And which one is it?" I said both curiosity and a little bit of doubt creeping into my voice.
"You'll know by the end of the day." Dame Alina answered simply. "Now, practice! I want you to sing something easy, "Amazing Graze", but put your own twist on it. I want you to play with pauses, different harmonies, and your own voices. So don't be afraid!" She started playing the intro on her piano. I carefully looked at Keefe, who looked back looking quite unsure too. Then he started singing, and I joined not long after. After a while we found that it was pretty fun! Our voices sounded great together, and I think we both got out of our comfort zone, which led to new, unexplored tones and rhythms. When the lesson was over we walked back to our lockers together, me and Keefe.
"So, you chose our song, I suppose?" I asked.
"Yes I did." Keefe answered, smirking.
"And, what song did you choose?"
"Not saying." His smirk grew wider.
"Really? Both Dame Alina and you? Why can't I know? I'm a part of this too!"
"I promised Dame Alina I wouldn't say anything, and no, I don't know why she doesn't want you to know. But I can tell you that I chose a song that I thought fit for us. It compliments our situation pretty well I think. And I know you're going to like it."
"How do you know?"
"'Cause it reminded me of you." And with that he walked away to his locker.
Keefe POV
Bleuh. Elwin history. Probably the worst torture this world has ever seen. And I admit, I feel that about most classes, except for singing practice. Things are much funnier when you can tease Foster in the process. She is pretty unusual when you think about it, other than the obvious i mean. She's so funny and accepting, even though she dealt with so much in her past. And she's still dealing with a lot. When you think about it she's actually pretty lonely here. No one shares he past, all of her old friends and family is long gone and she still has to learn a lot about this world. She has to feel like a stranger in her own life. And that's why I chose the song I chose. I thought it fit so perfectly with everything she's dealing with, and i just want her to know that she's not alone. I'll be here for her, whatever happens. And also, I knew for sure the song will fit perfectly for Fosters voice.
Sophie POV
After our last session, Biana and I walked study hall. We sat down in our usual places, and picked up our things. We started studying, but after a minute I stopped, looking at Biana. She was writing on a small note in front of us and then she gave it to me. Not looking at me while doing so. The note red
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
I glanced at Biana, but noticed that she seemed all into her studies. Of course the note said otherwise, but she probably didn't want any of the mentors to notice our secret conversation. I quickly scrambled
"Of course" on the note. She's my best friend and I would never want her to feel like I kept secrets from her, even if i did sometimes.
"What's going on between you and Keefe?" I stared at the note, not quite understanding the words. Me and Keefe? What's going on between us?
"Um, were friends?" I wondered what she was getting at.
"Are you sure about that? No other feelings whatsoever? No tingling when your skin touches? No speeded heart beats when you look into his eyes? No difficulties thinking about anything but him?" Now Biana was smirking towards me. I felt my heart flutter when a picture of Keefe filled my head. And I realized that my skin did tingle whenever we touched. And it was not any news that my heart speed increased seriously whenever he was in the room. And i also realized that my books were scattered before me, but I hadn't payed any attention to them, which probably checked off the last part. I stared at the note as something deep within me started to untangle. But all this didn't mean I liked Keefe, right? Or, I mean I like him as a friend, but nothing more. Right? Why wasn't I sure anymore? I looked down at the note again, thinking of what I should answer, but then I just crumbled the note and then it into the most nearby trash bin. Biana was still smirking like crazy. To avoid her small teasing glances, I looked out over the room. After just a short while my eyes stopped moving, locking on a certain blonde boy. His eyes looked straight into mine, holding my gaze. I felt my heart speed up, and my cheeks heated up. I just couldn't escape that boy, now could I? When I was finally able to look away I turned to Biana again, expecting her to grin at me knowingly, since she probably noticed me and Keefe locking eyes, but she was looking at a different blonde boy. He was sitting a few rows in front of us and his strawberry blonde hair made him stand out, since the people around him was dark haired. He drummed his fingers on the desk, unable to control all the energy that rushed through his body, as he inspected some weird gadget in front of him. I looked at Biana again, and smiled. Her eyes were locked at Dex, and she was unknowingly leaning forward while biting the end of her pencil. Her eyes were lovingly dreamy as she watched the boy work. I smiled to myself and started writing my own note.
"What's going on between you and Dex? Any tingling? Any speeded heartbeats? Any thinking about him?". Then I smiled, folded the note neatly and put it into her bag, and i was sure to shove down to the very bottom. Then the bell rang and I stood, starting to pack my things, bug before I did so I tapped Biana's shoulder slightly weakening her from her dream. Then we walked out together. But just as I was about to leave with my home crystal a voice stopped me.
"Wait miss Foster." I turned around to see Dame Alina walking towards me. She stopped in front of me. Then she bent down to whisper in my ear.
"Little talks." Then she added "the song you will sing with mr Sencen." When she saw my confused look. "I would like you to practice at home. And often! The summer dance is coming up." Then she turned around. But I stopped her.
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Oh, what's life without some mystery?"
Yes that's it! I chose "Little talks" by of monsters and men. It was requested by Mysterious M, so thank you VERRY VEEEEEEEERY MUCH! I think it fits so perfectly into my story, and yeah, it will just be amazing! Hope you liked this chapter, even though it was rater bad, and please hang on until the end of this story. I can promise you more Sophitz drama, since you guys seem to like it, and I love to write it. And as always please fave, follow and review, it REALLY makes my day! And now I will also appreciate ideas for new fanfics, since this one is coming to an end. Bye! ;)
