Edric POV

Emira got to school early today so that she could see Viney before class. I'm happy that she found someone but that means I'm alone on my way to school. Being alone is my worst fear and I'm afraid that Emira and Amity will soon forget about me even though we are siblings. I hate being left alone with my thoughts, I start to panic and it's hard to stop. I finally manage to shake the thoughts and walk quietly to school.

I arrive at school and go to my locker so I can grab my books. I look down the hall and see someone I don't recognize. They have neon green hair, a neon green sweater, and gray sweatpants. They look kind of cute, no Edric you can't have those thoughts, you have to be what your parents want, boys are out of the question. I quickly walked to my illusions class hoping that the person didn't see me. I sit down at the table in the back of the class by myself so I can focus on my work. I decide to look out the window to pass time before the teacher starts class. The sky is beautiful, I get lost in the beautifulness of the sky and the clouds.

The bell rings and I hear the teacher tap on her desk to get our attention. "Good morning everyone, we have a new student today." I snap out of my trance and look to the front of the classroom. Oh no, I look and it's the kid from earlier. "Everyone, this is Lime, he will be joining us for the rest of the year. Lime say some stuff about yourself." the teacher says. Hey at least I'll get to know some stuff about him. "Hello, my name is Lime. I'm in the illusion track and healing track. I hope to get to know you all and make some friends." Lime says about himself. Oh so he's like Viney and is in two tracks, that's cool. His bright hair is so cute, and his sweater looks soft. He makes eye contact with me and I immediately look away hoping he didn't realize I was staring at him. "Hm since the only seat left is next to Edric you go sit by him Lime." I hear the teacher say and quietly start to panic. He starts to walk to the seat next to me and I try so hard to hide the fact that I was just staring at him. "Hey I'm guessing that you're Edric? I'm Lime, well I guess you already know that the teacher said it, but anyways nice to meet you Edric." he says as he reaches out his hand for me to shake. I politely shake his hand and say "Nice to meet you Lime, I'm Edric Blight and I'm glad you're in my class." he gives me a nice smile and I smile back. His smile is so wonderful, no Edric stop with those thoughts. Lime sits down and the teacher tells us to take notes. I glance over at Lime while he's writing and hope that these feelings aren't real.
