Zoe and I walked in silence till we reached the junction that separated into the two camps.


    She wanted to continue the journey to her camp without saying anything to me but I pulled her back by the arm.


    I spun her till she was facing me and then I ced my hands around her waist.


    "You''re leaving without a goodbye?" I asked her in a teasing voice.


    Zoe rolled her eyes. "What does it matter?"


    "Of course it matters". I replied. "You matter".


    Zoe scoffed but I could see some of the hardness in her face disappear.


    "I don''t want to let you go but we have to go now or we''ll be veryte". I said and let her go with a peck.


    Her anger meltedpletely at that and she nodded.


    "See youter".


    "See youter". I replied and watched her walk off.


    Then I started the walk back to my room.


    Aaron and Liam were at the door when I entered.


    "Where have you been?" Liam asked when he saw me. "And eww, you stink". He turned his nose up.


    "I was busy". I told him in response and went into the room.


    Liam exchanged confused looks with Aaron and they both shrugged.


    I felt like copsing on the bed the moment I saw it but I knew if my head touched the bed, I would sleep and not wake up tillter in the morning.


    It was a luxury I couldn''t afford.


    I sighed and picked out new clothes, I needed a proper bath afterst night''s activities.


    When I was done washing myself and I had dressed up, Aaron and Liam were nowhere to be found.


    They had gone without me.


    I sighed and hurried out of the building. I was going to bete.


    ****


    I ended up getting to the academyte but luckily for me, Master Jared wasn''t around yet.


    He came muchter and apologized for the tardiness, he had important business to handle.


    He then proceeded to teach us for the day.


    I was already getting the hang of being an air mage and I was even one of the be system in the ss.


    As long as I had the system with me, very few people couldpete with me.


    Master Jared noticed this and he praised me frequently. I could notice some of the hatred this caused among my fellow mages.


    I couldn''t care less though. If any of them had any problems with me, they coulde talk about it.


    Or fight me.


    It would be fun to see who would win.


    Master Jared dismmised us after the day''s lesson. I''d barely stepped out when I ran into someone.


    It was Damon.


    "Hi". He said with that same boyish smile of his.
