Chapter 1- Mayson Evans
Softly she set her stack of books down on the worn, wooden table. Looking around she rubbed the back of her neck, she seemed to be one of the few who actually used the library. Sighing she sat down and moved the stack to the way she wanted it as the smell of old wood and books filled her nose. Quickly she opened her large textbook for her least favorite class: Basics. This consisted of learning to levitate feathers, books and pens; making small things disappear, and being able to make them reappear. Mayson had learned that quickly within her first year at AAM, but all students were required to take it once every year so they would be able to make a little money when they left.
Taking a highlighter she ran it over a small statement that left her asking questions. The girl did this often in all her books and papers; if something looked important she would highlight it so it looked like she did something. Huffing in frustration she laid her head on her hands and kept reading, highlighting as she went.
When levitating one should be sure to not lose focus... She paused to yawn which caused her eyes to water. "You look bored."
Mayson jumped and sat up, rubbing at her eyes, slightly dazed. The voice was familiar and as her eyes focused a bright blush made its way to her cheeks. Staring down at her was Leo Richardson, he was her long time crush and didn't seem to notice her when she snuck glances at him in the middle of AP Escape. His blue hair was what first got her interested, he seemed to know what he wanted at all times and didn't care how he got it. An uneasy laugh left the boy as he watched her, causing Mayson to snap out of her thoughts. How long was she staring at him for? It must have been a long time, he was looked unsure.
"Hey..." She smiled and ran her hands along the table before folding them over each other.
"Hi," Stiffly he took the seat in front of her, and she drew her hands quickly away, as if not to take up his space. "So, what are you reading?"
Picking up her book at an awkward angle she thrust it towards him, "Umm,
Understanding the basic's of magic."
He groaned and took it from her, flipping through the pages. "You have that class this trimester? Lucky, I have it last. The waiting is eating at me, I wanna get it over with."
She laughed and ran a hand through her brown hair, "Yeah, this year you have to write a essay about levitating."
His pale blue eyes glanced around and settled on something behind her, glancing over her shoulder she tried to find what it was. A girl with brown hair and perfect hazel skin was standing on her tippy toes, reading the spin of a book. She lowered herself and raised a hand, moving her fingers in a swift motion. The book gently and smoothly removed itself from where it was and made its way to her waiting hand. Mayson turned back around, her blush growing. Her eyes now fixed on the table, "So, why did you come to the library?"
Leo looked at her and cleared his throat, which seemed to clear his mind as well. "Just wanted to find some friends. Soul was off doing something, and Chris was to busy watching Netflix with Jenny."
Mayson just nodded and kept staring at the table, Soul was Leo's bestfriend. With an annoying, headstrong personality she hadn't taken a liking to the white haired boy who was the head masters son. On the other hand Mayson did know Jenny, well. They were dorm mates and had become bestfriends within the first week. While Jenny had easily gotten her crush, Chris, to fall under her spell, Mayson kept her mouth shut and waited. It was boring and very lonely at times but its how she was. Sometimes she would get the guts to talk to Leo the next day but when she got to class a girl would already be there talking to him. A swift glare from the girl would send Mayson back into the hall until the bell rang. Other times she would sit on her bed and stare out the window, a deep sickening feeling filled her stomach. A loud bang stopped the feeling from filling her at the thought. "Leo, you in here bro?"
Leo stood and waved, making Mayson turn again. Dread. Dread was the only word she could think of. Soul was striding towards them, a grin the size of Texas on his face. His blue eyes were locked on Leo for a moment but drifted down to her, and to say the least a look of "dread" crossed his face.
Nice to know we feel the same about each other. She huffed and turned back around, grabbing her books she stuffed them into a pile. She was about to slam her textbook on top of them all when a hand landed on hers, looking up slowly she came face to face with Leo. A look of worry was on his face, "You okay, Mayson?"
Giving a fake smile she nodded and moved her hand away from his, it suddenly left hot and cold all at once. Putting her book on everything else, she stood and gathered it all in her hands. Then Soul was there, staring at her intensely. His eyes flicked over her, he smirked, seeming to have found something he liked. "Nice shirt."
She shook her head and smiled brightly at Leo, "I'm gonna go to my room, have fun you two."
Soul pouted and took a strand of her hair in his pale fingers, twisting it. "You don't have to leave because of me Doll Face."
Mayson slapped his hand and pulled away at the same time, Leo shook his head and grabbed his friends shirt pulling him away from her. "You're free to go, Mayson."
Looking over at him from under a curtain of brown hair she smiled to herself. Leo's eyes were bright and his mouth was curled into a small smile. Quickly she turned and started to flee from the two, her legs brushing against each other as she went. "Nice shirt?" She mumbled to herself.
She looked down at her clothes, an over sized brown-green sweatshirt, black shorts and black leather boots. The girl rolled her eyes, Soul was probably messing with her. It hit her she hadn't noticed what either of them was wearing at all so if she wanted to snap a remark at him she wouldn't have been able to. He never gave her compliments anyway, but that didn't stop him from giving them to other girls around them. Sighing she pushed open the large oak doors and walked into the hallway. The light was dimmer and less dramatic here, it made her tired for some reason. A small group of students were to the left of her as she passed, all talking in hushed voices. It wasn't uncommon to for kids to talk in the halls that somehow made you want to whisper. Mayson studied her feet as she walked, noting all the light patches she walked through. A slightly brighter one had her looking up to stare out a window. It was dirty but she could still make out the sun dipping behind the gardens, it was a pool of pink and purple.
Taking in a deep breath she let it out and kept walking, letting her mind wonder back to Leo. HIs blue hair and blue eyes, how his skin was slightly tan. How she had felt warm and cold, but a question kept popping up. Why did he make her feel this way? She knew she liked him but to be honest, it just wasn't fair. Her grip on her books tightened and she growled, he would never have to feel that way around her so why did she have to? But then again how did she know he didn't? She frowned and switched the hand her books were in, a cramp had started to form. Once again she was so lost in thought that when she popped back out of it she realized she had almost walked past her door. Swiftly she pushed the door open, dropped her books by the door and stalked to her bed. Letting out a huff she flopped onto the soft blankets and pillows. Face in a pillow she let out a frustrated scream, before rolling onto her back and covering her eyes with a arm.
"I am pathetic." She grumbled to no one, a yawn following.
Giving up on trying to stay awake she rolled her eyes, then closed them. Soon enough she was in a light sleep, twitching every now and then.
