Beyond Small (Book 1)

Bloom's POV

I sat on the bench holding my fist tight wanting to bust that creepy head out of my sight once and for all.

"What's with your ........ ears?" I glanced at the voice and found that it belonged to Steve. "Oh..... it's just that..... every time I get angry, embarrassed or even scared my ears become as red as now and hot."

"Wow, never heard of that before" he said sitting at the other end of the bench. "So why were you that happy after the announcement?" he asked making me blush.

"It's just....... I was........." I couldn't even complete my words. What has happened to me? Can't I even talk to the boy about whom I am wondering since the first day of my school at grade six.

"Its ok, don't try that hard we're kinda new to this situation and it was my stupidity to ask such a question." he said trying to comfort me somehow.

That was the end of our conversations when we were told to have our sit on the bus. Everyone hurried but I didn't wanted to 'rush over a bus'.

When I entered the bus I found that the only spot left was the spot next to him. "Oh! my god this ain't happening." I started whispering to myself.

"Sit already, do you wanna hit your head." Mr. Smith said leading the way to the seat. "This isn't a big deal after all" for the sake of some strength to sit right next to him I told myself and sat their.

"Hey there" Steve smiled. After a long silence Steve spoke, "Where do you think they are gonna take us?" "I don't know I hope its worthy, any wish?" I said.

"I wish it was somewhere near a secret garden or near a lake." I just stared at him continuously ,amazed actually. After passing through a weird forest the bus stopped.

"Children we all want you to behave your self. Its the property of our well known principal where we are gonna spent our weekend." Mr. Smith said.

Eventually we all got of the bus and saw a big mansion full of royalty in front of us."Amazing" I said in daze. "Isn't it" Steve added.

The city maybe a countryside or a forest maybe, whatever it was, it was full of peace and natural environment with greenery everywhere.

I started dreaming that I was a princess and that mansion belonged to me just to see Steve come in a white horse and take me far away, far from this world.

We all entered the house, it was so huge. The floor , it was so shiny we could see our faces. A long passage decorated by pictures precious crafts and beautiful preserved flower.

"There will be our kitchen and there will be our dinning room. All of you will get your separate room which is going to be upstairs." Mr. Smith pointed at every direction possible showing us the way.
