His head hit the pillow as he crashed onto his bed. He had done it. He was finally free. All the stress and pain he had held on his shoulders were empty, he felt happy. Silent tears slid down in relief; he dozed off to sleep. He basked in the thoughts of the new morning. Mini circles of light lit up his eyesight. He groaned at the loss of peaceful sleep, rolling over and covering his face with his pillow. Opening his eyes, he saw the multitude of stars waving "hello!" right in front of his face. He shooed them off and got up. Well almost, he fell. He fell through the stars rapidly, speeding until he finally woke up fully to start floating. Now fully awake he went straight toward the bathroom. After a bit, he finally left the Above and went down to the Land. Today was breezy. The wind blew hard through his deep purple hair. His gray eyes roamed the Land to the forest below. Making a smooth landing, he dusted himself off and walked calmly down the dirt road. It was early morning, you could hear the birds singing to each other and look at the sun in its passage up to the sky without worrying about your eyes. The trees surrounding you, shake gently as if rocking each other in a calm dance. It all felt peaceful. GIN! a voice yelled from afar. Huffs of breath were heard running toward him. GIN! huff! huff! GIIN!!!! A girl ran up to him. Eva, what's going on? Eva grunted and stood straight. You! have....huff. ..to. Go! Gin knew exactly where this was going. No! I already told you. Gin started to walk around her. And! Don't go screaming out loud! Eva ran in front of him. No! The Festival is legendary! You can't skip it just because of--- Don't you dare, he glared. I know, it's a little festival that holds the balance between the Above and the Land....It's all they've been talking about. They stroll through the forest, they argue back and forth till they bump into Alexander. Alexander was, what can I say? A jerk. Hey losers. Alexander said with a smirk. His glasses he proudly wore gave him a superior vibe. Alexander and Gin had been enemies since they knew how to float. Just came to see if you guys were going to the Festival? But I know it's too good for you losers. He started to turn around. He was too nice so far. I just came to give you this! He threw paint on gin that he had grabbed from somewhere. Shock was all gin felt as his clothes were ruined and wondered if it was permanent. His skin burned a bit. Eva didn't just stand there and immediately sprung into action. She grabbed onto his dirty-blond hair and yanked it. Alexander gave a howl in pain. He immediately tried punching her but she was too quick and kicked back. Grabbing Gins hand in a rush and running away as fast as she could. GET BACK HERE!!! screamed Alexander as he was chasing us. Gin and Eva ran for what felt like hours till they looked back and saw they had lost him. One of these days, I am going to kill him! Eva Exclaimed. her hands on her knees trying to catch a breath. You didn't need to do that, Gin said silently. What do you mean why? you saw what he did. In fact you're still covered in paint! I don't know why you're still protecting him. Is that what you think I'm doing? Gin started. I am just saying you didn't need to get violent. This is why you're not a Celeste yet! Well, excuse you if I decide not to be a walking carpet for other people. She crossed her arms as she made her point. You know what? we don't have time for this. We are already late for the morning conference. Let's just go, we will talk about this later. Gin walked off and faded away. Eva, just stood there in fumes. She shook it off and started heading toward the conference.
