A Light in the Shadows.

The Kiss.

I got another book part way through the night and then continued reading until the late afternoon.

 I realized that this was the day of the casual teen party.

What to wear?

 It was casual, so something that seemed like I effortlessly threw it on.

I went up to my room and looked through my closet.

 I found a royal blue top that complimented my eyes with black tights that hugged my legs, making me wonder why I was wearing this..

I felt a little uncomfortable because when I lifted my arms the shirt exposed my stomach.

 I'm the type of dragon who doesn't like wearing fashion trends so I'm not used to wearing things that expose my skin.

I put on light teal eyeshadow and a small amount of eyeliner.

Almost nothing would make me wear lip gloss, so I left that part out.

I looked through my embarrassingly large collection of necklaces, deciding on a simple choker with a teal stone.

I then got on slim high black boots.

I carefully turned into my dragon form to fly to the elf city, seeing Amharic, Jelequi, and Xentri just leaving Jelequi's shop.

I flew down towards them happily, landing beside Jelequi.

Luckily, where they were walking held no elves other than the three friends.

I transformed back into my human form saying, "hi guys."

"Seraphina!" Jelequi hugged me.

Jelequi was wearing something a little different, with a slightly baggy light brown t-shirt, and white pleated shirt.

"You look hot- I mean nice!" Jelequi said, her cheeks going pink in a way that sent butterflies straight into my stomach.

 "You look beautiful as always..." I said, grinning at Jelequi, because it was true.

Jelequi smiled back, slightly awkwardly.

"Let's go, you two!" Amharic said, beginning down the street, with Xentri.

I took Jelequi's hand and walked along with them.

We walked for a while, till getting to a large house at the end of one of the roads.

Amharic carefully opened the door, them hearing music from inside.

"This seems to be the place!" Amharic said happily.

We all walked inside.

There was a large room, where lots of elves were.

Some were dancing to music, some sitting and talking.

I looked around.

 "I like your elf parties." I commented randomly.

"This is nothing like most of them. Well, casual parties are like this." Xentri said.

"Good thing this is a casual party then" I said.

"Mhm!" Jelequi said, smiling.

 "Amharic." Xentri said, getting Amharic's attention before pushing them towards some elves.

Xentri ended up pushing them into Stevini.

Stevini caught Amharic, "Are you alright?" Stevini asked.
