Once potionology class was over, Claire was happy to leave, and threw that damned paper ball in the bin. Who the hell did this Reed Allaway think he is? Making that sort of proposition to her, a Princess!
"I don't remember him being like that. Reed was practically Mother Nature's son." Azalea explained to her dorm mates.
"His behaviour reminds me of every single delinquent boy in my class, and there were a lot." Evelyn replied
Azalea nodded her head in disbelief "He wasn't always like that. He helped my mom and I out. We became friends."
"How can you be friends with such an arsehole? He's such an annoying, incorrigible..." Claire began
"Talking about me, ladies?"
That saying was right! If you do speak of the devil, he must really appear, because Claire and the girls turned to see Reed Allaway himself standing in front of them.
"No. Talking about some blokes I knew back home." Evelyn swooped in, saving Claire from embarrassing herself.
Reed huffed "You're that Earth chick?"
"I prefer Evelyn."
"Good to see you, Reed. Mom asks about you." Azalea addressed the warlock.
"What'd you tell her?" He inquired.
She shrugged "That you're good."
"Good. I should visit her sometime." He mentioned.
Azalea had a lightbulb moment "Oh, where are my manners. These are Ember, Iris, Marina, Blanche, Evelyn and Claire."
Reed stared at the solar light witch, practically undressing her with his eyes, giving her a lustful stare. "Pretty name for a pretty hot woman."
Claire huffs "Do you say that to all the girls?"
Reed flashed a cocky smile "Only the hot ones."
Evelyn leaned in to her five friends, watching Claire and Reed swapping words.
Evelyn whispers "This could end very badly
"Should we go?" Iris asked quietly
"Avoid the shit storm that'll come." Marina nodded
Blanche spoke loudly "Claire, we'll be waiting by our dorm."
Claire nodded her head yes and watched as her six friends walked away. Evelyn looked back to see if her friend was okay, only to see that the blonde woman confronted the rebel from potionology class.
"What did I do to get a paper ball thrown at me?" Claire questioned.
Reed just continued to stare her down "You're hot and I'm frustrated. Wanna ditch and go to my dorm, gorgeous?"
"No! What the fuck! Why would you think I want anything to do with you!" The Lunarisian Princess shouted in disgust.
"Oh, I see. You're all that. Better than everybody else. And who the fuck do you think you are?!" Reed shouted.
"Claire deLuna. Princess of Lunaris." Claire threw back at his face.
Reed waved his finger in a circle "Well, la-dee-la, Princess."
Claire growled as she left the insufferable man alone in the hallway, but as she walked further from hi eyesight, the solar light witch felt a strange sensation in her body… a very strange sensation she never had before. How? How can such an arrogant prick cause a funny sensation within her very body? Did he curse her? Did he put a love spell on her? Maybe a love potion was on the paper and that got her, Claire just could not explain it, but Reed Allaway caused a foreign sen nation to flutter in her.
Claire got to her dorm and inside to see her six friends sitting in their living room. Azalea, Evelyn and Iris were on the lounge while Blanche was sitting on a cushion on the floor, leaving Marina and Ember just on the floor, all doing their homework, while their school stuff scattered around them, and not caring about making a noise, the Lunarisian Princess sighed frustratedly and sat down, causing her friends to look at her.
Marina was the first to ask "What happened?"
"What an insufferable arse of a male!" Claire exclaimed angrily.
"Oh boy... He ticked you off, didn't he?" Evelyn inquired
"He asked me if I wanted to fuck him! The bloody sodding prick!" Claire hissed.
Blanche was baffled "Wow."
"Well, I'm gonna go for a wander to the library again..." Ember began, getting up to get her bag.
"Bookworm." Marina remarked.
"Yeah, whatever. Anyone wanna come with?" Ember offered.
Claire calmed down enough to reply "I'd rather not bump into that arrogant tosser again."
"Girls?" Ember questioned.
Blanche, Iris and Marina all replied "Nah."
Evelyn nodded and looked at the fire witch sadly "Sorry, Em. Maybe some other time."
Ember nodded "Sure."
As soon as her six friends entered their dorm, Ember walked off to the library.
Ember noticed the book beginning to set on fire and cursed herself as she tried to stop the book, only for the flames to grow bigger. Looking around for help, Ember realised she was alone in the education aisle and began to panic when ice began to consume the fire and freeze the book, making the fire witch drop the frozen book in haste. Confused, the fire witch turned to see a handsome young male with shaggy brunette hair, blue-ish green eyes, slightly sun-kissed skin and the most charming smile. She couldn't explain it, but this guy struck something in her… a good something.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine. Thanks. I don't know what happened there." She admitted.
"No harm done." The guy smiled.
His smile looked like it could melt a million girls' hearts and make them stand still for an eternity.
Ember chuckles "Are you a student?"
Ember mentally cursed herself for asking such an obvious question which had an obvious answer.
"Uh, yeah. I enrolled with my sister. Name's Gabriel Winters."
Ember froze when he said 'Winters'. He was not only the Crown Prince of Polaria, but he was Blanche's BROTHER!
'I guess looks run in the family' Ember mused quietly
Gabriel was holding his hand out for Ember to shake, while the fire witch kept a friendly smile.Blanche would freeze her if she found out that Ember was now developing a crush on her brother.
"I'm Ember... Blanche's roommate."
Gabriel nodded with interest "With the Earth witch?"
"Evelyn? She's pretty cool and smart. Different from us but it's something."
"Cool. How's Blanche doing?" He asked.
Ember perked up "She's good. She shares a bedroom with Azalea and Evelyn, I think."
"Ah. I should probably get back to my friends or they'll assume I'm looking at Purdy Cat." Gabriel chuckled.
Ember nodded her head. She had heard and somewhat destroyed some Purdy Cat issues she found in her dad's room, even if he hadn't touched them since her mother, it still felt weird to find such racy magazines stashed away. In a way, knowing that his friends would assume Gabriel would be enjoying a Purdy Cat magazine set an intense fire within the fire witch. Why? She just met him! And he's her roommate's brother for Hecate's sake!
"I should get going too or the girls might begin a search party for me."
"Well it was nice putting out your fire, Ember."
Ember waved her hand "Thanks again."
Gabriel left first, and walked back to his friends, unaware that the fire witch he had met was watching through the bookshelves.
"Where were you, Gabby?"
"Show us the hottie on your Purdy Cat!"
Gabriel sighed. "I don't have a fucking Purdy Cat, you perverts! I happen to have respect for women."
Ember walked away after hearing Gabriel say that. She didn't know why, but hearing the ice warlock say that made this fire witch's day.
