Portal window

Slaveria

Simon POV

"Come on dude! Just admit it! You love Ariel Moonskin!" Liam smirked as we walked down the halls of Salveria towards our dorm room.

I have to admit, Ariel was pretty, smart, kind, good at everything she attempted...but she was a know it all. And I hated those. Or at least that's what I thought.

"Stop pestering me Liam, I don't love or even like Moonskin!" I snapped back.

"Dude! Imagine her backstory!" Liam continued, ignoring my previous statement as we walked past a group of boys. "Think about it, no one has ever seen her parents."

"You guys talking about the Lunatic?" One of the boys in the group asked.

I sighed. The nicknames the boys at school gave her were terrible. They'd call her the lunatic, moony, crazy, moody moony etc. etc. but they'd mainly stick to lunatic seeing as moon was in her last name, you know, MOONskin. Odd last name I know, but thing was, no one knew why that was her last name or even IF that was her last name seeing as no one had met her parents.

"She's hot," another from the group commented with a snicker, turning to the rest of the group for, what I'm guessing, praise.

For some reason, I growled lowly at the statement and Liam gave me a look and dragged me away before I jumped at them, pulling me further down the crowded hallway.

"Fine, maybe you ARE right," I pouted, admitting it to myself as well. "I might love her...Just don't tell Zayn or Zade, or think about it when they're around, else I'll never hear the end of it.

I opened the door to our dorm. Light poured in from the window near my bed that looked out across the forest to Astorin, our beds neatly made without PJs stuffed under the pillow and our floor quite tidy but we had both shoved our clothes in it the day before when Principal Smith did a room check.

"Oh, they already know," Liam snickered, flopping down on his bed closest to the door. "Have you seen the way you look at her?! Honestly, it's embarrassing for everyone, and seeing as she's a hider as well, sheesh, it's a nightmare."

"Shut up McCarvey!" I snapped, walking over to my bed by the window.

As I looked out the window, I couldn't help the small grin that crept onto my face as I thought about what she might be doing right now.

Two days from now I'd have to hide the objects. Two days from now and maybe I'd see her again.

"You're thinking about her aren't you?" Liam smirked from his bed, rolling onto his stomach.

I turned to glare at him before flopping down on my bed, still thinking about the brunette who was probably in her room creating a beautiful gown for the ball.

"Yes, he is." His brother, Zayn, said walking through the open doors, followed by his twin, Zade

"Wouldn't be surprised," Zade chuckled with a smirk.

"You guys suck," I grumbled.

"Liam, pull up a window portal. Si wants to know what she's doing." Zayn snickered shoving Liam a bit.

"I do not!" I yelled out, jumping off my bed and tackling Liam to the floor in the hopes he wouldn't be able to pull up a window.

Stupid telepathy. I thought. I wish he would just stay out of my bloody head.

"Hey!!" Zayn pouted, reading my mind yet again.

"Stop!!!" I yelled at him.

To my dismay, Liam was still able to pull up a so-called 'window' with the flick of his wrist, revealing Ariel and Lilly in their dorm room, surrounded by fabric and completely unaware of our group watching them.
