As though he recalled something, Atticus suddenly turned and walked back into the building, startling Isabella who had been watching him leave.
"Did you forget something?" Isabella approached and asked.
"Ah yes, since I only have until tomorrow, I would like to meet some people."
He had almost forgotten that only the first year's Ravenstein were with him. He would need help to meet the others.
…
It was just a bit after 9, and the morning rays were still radiating down from the sun at full force.
In the middle of the bustling campgrounds, just beside the imposing black terminal, was a round building.
It was akin to a large coliseum. It had no roof and an expansive and elegant interior with a grassy landscape.
In one corner of this building, with her back resting on a slanted part of the grassy landscape, was the figure of a purple-haired girl who seemed to be in some sort of debate.
Just in front of her was the fluttering figure of a petite and tiny fairy-looking being. They were none other than Zoey and Lumindra.
"I should have just told him yes, Lumi," Zoey said, her voice tinged with regret.
Lumindra suddenly stopped moving, her petite figure turning to face Zoey. In a light, high-pitched voice tinged with exasperation, she spoke.
"I've told you countless times, that would make you seem cheap! You always have to respond with a 'I'll think about it.' It's the law!"
Zoey turned her gaze away from her petite spirit, her expression morphing into a cute pout. She suddenly picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it into the distance.
Lumindra couldn't help but sigh. 'I actually prefer the denying-her-feelings Zoey,'
"I heard that!" Zoey snapped.
Just as Zoey was about to throw a pebble at Lumindra, her movements suddenly paused.
'How?' Zoey thought, baffled.
She had just suddenly felt a presence, a presence that she shouldn't be feeling considering the fact that she was in her division.
Zoey snapped her gaze to the side to see the figure of Atticus standing just a few meters away, his back resting on the wall.
Atticus currently had a cheeky grin on his face, one that, as Zoey saw it, she couldn't help but panic, swiftly getting up from her seat.
"A-Atticus? What the hell are you doing here?" Zoey inquired, trying hard to maintain her composure.
'Please tell me he didn't hear our conversation!' Zoey thought frantically but then she seemed to realize something, 'Lumi!'
Zoey turned towards where her spirit was supposed to be, surprised to find out that she wasn't there. This surprise turned to relief, thinking that she had been able to hide.
But that notion was destroyed in the next second as she heard Lumindra's high-pitched voice.
"So you're the boy making my Zoey so confused, huh?"
"Lumi!" Zoey swiftly closed in and grabbed her spirit with both hands before she would die of embarrassment. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
