(Now in Graeae's POV)

I stepped out from where I stood, in the trees, cloaked by the leaves. "Good work, Omi." I had been teaching him about relationships & love for a month & a half. It's not as hard as Griffon & her friends were led to believe. Then again, maybe it was just my patience or the fact that I'm the representative for love, but I actually had fun teaching him.

Omi turned to look at me. He stood up & bowed. "Thank you for your help, Miss Graeae. I would never have been able to kiss a girl, much less Griffon, without your help. She is perfection personified."

"Okay, little man, I know you like her, but remember, it won't be till April of next year that anything will happen." I reminded him as I sat down on the grass & looked up to the sky. "She loves you, she really does, she just doesn't know what to do. She never thought anyone would love her." I was lying through my teeth. Back home, in California, & in Ireland, guys were chasing her like puppy dogs would a steak.

"Oh, I thought that a girl like herself would have men begging on their knees for a date with her." Omi stated. He sat down, but I stood up & walked to the temple that I had been wanting to see. I used my powers to camouflage myself as I walked into the foyer, where Griffon sat, checking her e-mail on her laptop, on the couch. Luckily, she was also facing away from me, so I could look over her shoulder & read the message on her screen:

Dear Krypto,
Please sign back up with us, we all miss you & we know you miss us. Just sign the papers & get out of that place. I miss you, that's what's important.
Love you,
Streaky

Griffon scoffed & I gagged. The last thing she wanted to see was him. So I watched as she typed her reply:

Dear Phoenix,
I'd sooner die. I really like my friends here. You'll never get me to give up my position at the temple. I'm never gonna give it up, I'd sooner go to the Heylin than go back to that rat's nest. The only way I'd even consider it would be if you were to come here & force me back. If it helps, you're still a great friend.
Sincerely,
Griffon

"You go girl." I mouthed to my sister. If she got pulled into that mess again then I would be forced to go down with her.

"Griffon, we're back." A girl said as she walked in with a boy by her side.

Griffon sat up straight & hit 'send.' "Hey, Mystic, Clay, I thought you guys were going to the movies."

Clay flopped down next to her & Mystic went around to the back of the couch where she laid her arms on his shoulders. "We were." Clay began.

Mystic finished for him. "But some idiot bought the last tickets before we could get ours."

I tried hard not to laugh.

"What about the others?" Griffon asked. Then, I noticed that those two were the only ones back.

"They were already in their movies, we were waiting for ours to start." Clay explained.

I stood up & walked out the door before I thought out loud to myself. "I can't wait until I get to live here."

End-of-Hidden-chapter.

I thought I should explain how Omi could kiss. That & I love writing about Griffon & Graeae.
