*** Evelynn POV ***

Sitting on the bleachers, I am tapping the side of my mouth while sitting with my legs crossed staring at the people below us fighting for a place in this academy. I don't blame 'em because this is as good as it gets for most of us.

I then hear a voice call out for me. "Heya, where's Ahri?"

I lift my shoulders. "Ask her yourself,"—I stretch my arms—"got a bunch of guys that think they can tame that fox and I told her to go along with it," I then scoff to myself knowing full well there's not much for them to try and do there. "That girl is something else though."

She drops down next to me. "Well, nobody ever tries to make a move on her because that other guy has his eyes locked on her."

"Oh, I am aware. Sucks that she is good friends with that guy which causes his friends to think that if those two end up dating that means I am free pickings," then with a malicious giggle, "I'd like to see them try me."

"Won't happen if you scare them off~" she sings.

I then state, "This is college, a lot of people can't keep their hands to themselves. Akali stayed single all this time, Kai'Sa has a lot of secret admirers but nobody wants to approach her. Ahri has this weird fucked up thing going on where I don't even know if she is dating him or not. Fuck - even Sera has gotten some lucky boys sliding real close to her."

"And you?"

I then look at her. "Seeing a lot of new fresh, and cute faces."

"Oh. You like the younger boys?" she laughs at me.

I don't answer but I hold my stare. "What about you? Erica? You have been dating that pretty boy for how long now? About a year?"

"Hmm, just a bit after I came here," she nods.

"Hm mhm."

"What?" she chuckles.

"Nothing," I shake my head. "Though people don't stay single for long in a place like this. Akali is probably going to be the next one out of the group to get a crush on some bad boy that only wants to rail her as hard as his little heart can handle it only for him to learn that Akali's pace is something else."

"She is super fit, one of our better physical fighters," she remarks. "I've tried training with her and it is just impossible to keep up with her stamina."

"Hm mhm," I chuckle, "She doesn't have any magic yet she is one of our top students. Gotta adore her determination."

"Yeah." I then look at her to see she looks like she has something she wants to say but can't manage to bring it up.

"What?"

"Nothing... just feeling a bit sad."

I then look forward. "Expecting to see someone?"

"Kinda," she sighs, "Been a long time, so I don't think he will be here."

"Sounds like an ex."

"Yeah-"

I snort at her response, "Shut the fuck up, you don't mean that right?" I then roll my eyes, "What? Scared they are going to be upset that someone picked you up? You can't wait for everyone, know that right?"

"Yeah...no. That's not why-"

I shake my head again, "Unless you promised something; then that is on you."

"Not that." She twists her lips to the side. "Just a good friend that moved on because of how things ended up."

Amidst the cheering, I lock onto someone who is casually going through it like it is nothing. Shadow magic? No. It feels too adaptable to be that. A mix of something? Don't even know if that is possible.
