Adagio's Pov

Ugh! Why does Ceron feel the need to follow me around? I know he likes me but he doesn't have to be this obsessive about it. Gods. It's so unattractive. Does he even know how unattractive that is?

"Dearest sister, what seems to be bothering you?" I jump. Gods Spencer, I swear he will kill me with his jump scares. He slides into the seat across from me. The cafe is mostly empty at this time of day. Most are in booths. Like the one, I'm currently warming. A knowing smile on his face. Spencer takes my tea and sniffs it.

I glare at my elder sibling and snatch the drink back. It's not like he wants it. It is mine. He doesn't drink tea anyway. "Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Gods, I'm asking as your brother, not your mother."

"Sorry, Ceron keeps following me."

Spencer snorts. Gods he's so much like Megan, but who can blame them. Their twins. "Have you tried telling him not to?"

"Do you even know me?"

"Gods your right, sorry." Spencer leans back and places an arm across the back of the booth. He wags his chin at Sherly. Sherly nods and grabs him a coke. I roll my eyes. Oh so smooth. "What haven't you tried?"

"My fists." I groan. My head finds its way to the table. Spencer begins chuckling. Gods, why did it have to be Ceron? Why not Flip? He's actually hot.

"I could set you up if you'd like?"

"What?"

"I can set you and Flip on a date."

"Damn you and reading my thoughts." He has got to teach me that spell. It's one I've been wanting to learn for the past five years. I can hardly wait for next semester to start. Hopefully, we learn it in class.

"Ugh, that would be too easy. I want him to want me."

"Never mind then, I'll take my leave." He begins sliding out of the booth. Oh for Zeus' sake!

"NO! WAIT!"

Spencer slides back in. A shit-eating grin plastered on his face. "Yes?"

"Can you put the idea of it into his head?" I mutter.

Spencer cups an ear as if he didn't hear me. Such a cheeky bastard. "You're going to have to speak up dear."

"Can you put the idea of it into his head,"

"Sure I can do that," Spencer gets up. "But don't come crawling back when he's not what you expected."

What does that mean? Flip is awesome...right?

Spencer really got into my head three days ago. I can't stop thinking about what he said. It's not like he's right. Flip is amazing and nothing will change that. Not even my older brother who I happen to be like in more than a few ways.

"Gods, English was so easy."

Across the booth, Pearl and Luna are discussing our first exam. English was so easy. We finished everything in under an hour. Chiron gave the class an hour and a half to finish. Although if we had taken longer it wouldn't have mattered. No one has class today.

Exams are done by class over the course of five days. One day per exam. After we finish we're free till the next day. Easy. Or not so much if you don't study.

Mother had warned me not to get behind and I didn't. She was right. Keeping up with studies helped with exams. English was remarkably easy. Gym doesn't have an exam. Thank the gods. History will be next, then archery and finally math. I should be fine but last-minute cramming won't hurt.
