The Sparrow Academy. . . .
Daybreak came, and inside there was the sleeping sorceress lying next to Ben Hargreeves who couldn't help but admire her sleeping beauty.

Y/n POV:
My eyes began to flutter open as the light hit my eyes. I see Ben staring down at me, with a soft smile on his face, "Morning, sweetheart."
I let out a tired groan escape my mouth, "Shit, what time is it anyway?" I asked.

"9, maybe 10." Ben yawned as he randomly drew patterns on my bare back.

I sighed and slowly sat up, holding the sheets to cover my bare chest, "I should start heading back." I said whilst pulling my hair out of my face and grabbing my clothes off the floor.

"Seriously," Ben complained.

"Yeah," I said. Although, it was an internal struggle to leave. I clutched the covers tighter against my body as I started to gather my clothes. Finding my shirt first, I quickly slipped it on. My underwear and pants were found next. As I put them on, I looked for my bra. I couldn't find it.

"Looking for this?" Ben asked.

I turned around to see Ben with a cheeky smile.
My bra was hanging from his finger. I rolled my eyes, "Ha Ha, very funny." I went to reach for it. Ben held it further away from me.

"Do you have to leave right now?" Ben quirked a
brow.

"Ben." I groaned snatching it out of his hands. I slid it under my shirt and shrugged my bra back on. "You can't keep me hidden up here forever."

"I don't need to, Sloane, Fei, and Chris won't mind. And I'm number one so they have to listen to my authority," He stated.

I sighed and leaned back, stretching my neck out. My stomach growled since I hadn't eaten since yesterday.

"You hungry?" Ben asked.

"A little," I confessed.

He hummed then leaned in and kissed my forehead, "I get you something. Coffee?" He said as he stood up to get dressed.

"Yes please," I said as soon as the door shut behind him. Leaving me by myself.

Third POV:
"What are you doing?" Ben asked, who was leaning against the doorway staring at Y/n with his eyes filled with curiosity.

"What does look like I'm doing?" said the young sorceress who was currently floating in the air in a meditating position, with her hair floating upward. "I'm meditating."

Ben rolled his eyes, "I know that! But what's on your mind tho? Cause I can tell something's up with you," he says knowingly and begins to walk closer to the girl.

Y/n then stopped meditating and began to stand on her feet. She turned around to see Ben only inches away from her face, a curious expression plastered across his face.
