"Miss, get up!"

"Miss, get up!"

"I am wide awake~", My head which was lying beneath the blankets, popped up.

"Oh!"

There was no way I could remain calm. 

Starting today, I will attend Raegwinns. I am excited? Nervous? Damn! I can't control my emotions.

"Raegwinns is an amazing place. I hope miss makes some new friends. Don't forget to socialize!" Veri said while pinning my uniform. The uniform was plain white shirt with steel grey short skirt that hardly came upto my knees along with a tie, belt, white stockings and black shoes.

"Socialize?" I flinched. I never had any friends in school. How am I even supposed to do that?

"Don't worry, I am sure miss will make be doing great by herself!", Anne added.

Truthfully, I know you all are very happy to chase me out of this house. So, it would be better if you could stop pretending.

I took a long deep breath and said, "You can leave. I can do my hair myself."

"Alright miss, do it fast or else you will make young master wait too long.", Veri informed.

I combed my hair and tied twintails with green ribbons. My lips picked up a pleasing smile as I remembered how my mother had tied my hair in twintails on the first day of school.

I caressed my face. I am twelve now. With each day passing by, I look more and more akin to a villain.

I dragged the heavy valise which contained my belongings through the wide-stoned layered pathway. "Eth! Can't you be like a gentleman? Why are you standing there? Come on! Help me carry my valise."

Umm...That's right, I call him 'Eth' now. It's short for Ethan. We have gotten quite closer after spending the Fire Festival together, but he has been hostile since our gathering in the Imperial Palace. It's obvious that he is annoyed as I over-refined his new tax policy which costed some of his high-priced time on his busy schedule.

"It's not that heavy, I know you can do it on your own." Ethan waved at me indifferently and hopped inside the carriage.

B.a.s.t.a.r.d.!!!

The carriage-driver helped me with my luggage and after thanking him, I collapsed inside the carriage. "Ugh...That was heavy."

"I didn't know you are this weak.", Ethan mocked.

"Shut up." I peeped out of the window, letting fresh air hit my face. The landscape started changing rapidly. The carriage was driven by magic, therefore it was faster than ordinary carriages.

"You tied your hair in twintails?". A broad grin spread across his flawless face.

"I do like tying my hair up sometimes." I continued to look outside without making an eye contact with him.
