"Lonely girl you are my world
And I could be anything you need."

School was going by fast and it surprised me how easy high school was for me. I was tired though.

No matter how much I rested I was always tired.

I sat in my room on a Saturday night alone. I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't since it was only 7. The silence that filled my room made me more and more unhappy by the second.

Suddenly I thought of Harry. It helped thinking about him when I was in a bad mood.

The phone ringing interfered my thoughts.
I reached for it and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Leila, I'm having a sleepover for the end of sophomore year. It's next weekend do you think you can come? Please, I'm only inviting you, Gianna, and Adeline."

Gianna and Adeline were friends of ours, but I don't think they like me as much as they like Eliza.

I'm always complaining about how I never go anywhere besides school and my house, but I never do anything about it.
I guess it would be a good idea to socialize more and stop being antisocial.

"Leila?"

"Oh..yeah I'll go." I say.

Her squeal hurts my ear and I quickly tell her I have to go and hang up.

I make my way to my bathroom and open the mirror. I searched for the pills I stole from my mom that make you sleep and take two. I turn my bedroom light off and make myself comfortable in bed.

My eyes flew open and I was in my humongous room. I changed quickly into a light pink dress and left my room making my way to find Harry.

His room was only a few rooms down from mine. I quietly entered and I saw him peacefully sleeping.

He was shirtless and only had boxers on. I instantly got butterflies in my stomach.
I didn't want to wake him since I woke up earlier than usual, so I shut his door slowly.

I began walking down stairs and when I got to the second floor I heard an odd noise that came from the first door on the right side of the hallway.

It sounds like loud wind, but why would it be coming from a room? I thought maybe the window is open in there.

I walked up to the door and put my ear on it trying to listen more carefully. Right when I did so the door flew upon and before I fell someone caught me.

I grabbed their arms then stood up and when I looked up standing there was Felix.

Felix was one of few people who lived in the castle. Not many people did, but those who are in Arythea live in small villages around the castle.

Felix is a close friend of Alexander and Aura and he always helps them with things, but that's all I knew about him.

"I'm s-sorry" I say embarrassed since now he knew I was kind of stalking him.

"What are you doing here? Did Alex send you?" He asks sternly.

"Uh no"

"Then what is it?" He says staring at me

"Nothing sorry. I just thought I heard something coming from your room." I answer.

"Leave now." He said and slammed the door in my face.

I was taken back, and didn't know why he was so angry.

"Leila? What are you doing?"

I turn and Harry is standing by the staircase.

"Oh nothing." I say making my way to him.

He put his hand on my back and we began walking downstairs, and out of the castle.

"Stay away from Felix." Harry ordered.

"Isn't he Alex and Aura's friend?"

"Just stay away from him Leila."

Ok just to let you know in case you're having trouble picturing Arythea there is plenty of land which is full of gardens and bright green grass, surrounding the castle are small villages (3 total) and they aren't all super close together, but they aren't far.
Also there's the ocean which is little far from the castle.

OK SORRY IF THAT WAS A BAD DESCRIPTION YOU CAN IMAGINE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT TO
