The light in his Eyes

Chapter 2

As Ominis guides us down a spiral stairwell to the Slytherin common room, im holding Ty's hand as if we're walking down to our own death. I look behind me again to see Sebastian glancing around eagerly, as if looking for someone. He plasters a fake smile on his face when he catches me looking at him. I turn back and look at the ground, my cheeks turning red.

Why are you blushing right now yn?? I thought to myself. You don't even know him, All you know is he's friends with Ominis and he's a jerk, I thought as we reached the end of the staircase. As we walked into the common room, I locked eyes with another boy. His skin was ghostly pale and his grey eyes scanning me up and down, as if making sure I'm good enough to be there. I turn away and speed walk up to the others.

"-and the boys sleeping quarters are that way" Ominis was saying when I walked up. Ty looks at me.

"Yn this is more epic then what I imagined" he says in shock of how big the room was.

"Yeah.." I say, examining the room and everyone's faces.

"I'm going to go to bed" Ty says, giving me a quick squeeze before scurrying after Ominis to their rooms. I watch him run off and turn to Sebastian.

"Sebastian, may I ask a question?" I ask him scanning his face for a hint of any emotion.

He smirks. "Of course yn"

I roll my eyes. "Whos that over there..?" I say pointing to the ghost boy. Sebastian looks over with curiosity and sighs.

"Good luck getting anywhere with him. The only words I've ever heard him say were to the ghosts walking through the hallways" He says, annoyance lining his voice.

"That's not what I asked" I say, looking at him with annoyance of my own. "I asked who he was"

Sebastian grumbles. "His name is Caleb Eslinger. Its really annoying how stuck up he is if you ask me." He says angrily.

"Sounds like somebody is jealous" I laugh.

Sebastian and I watch as Caleb pushes himself off the wall and starts to make his way over to us. Sebastian mutters to himself as he approaches.

"You must be the new fifth year." Caleb says, his voice deep and mesmerizing. "My name is Caleb Eslinger, it's nice to meet you.." he trials off.

"Yn" I say. "Yn Arrington"

"Ah, that's what it was" he says. "Didn't you come here with someone? I know it wasnt Sebastian" he said Sebastian's name with some sort of hate in his voice.

"No" I say shyly. "I came with my twin brother.. Ty Arrington. Perhaps you'll see him in the sleeping quarters?"

"Perhaps" he echos, turning to walk away. Sebastian looks at me.

"Now you know how much of a dick he is" Sebastian says. "Goodnight yn, can I walk you to your first class tomorrow?"

I look down "I'm sorry Sebastian I don't start classes tomorrow" I say feeling embarrassed.

Sebastian's cheeks flow red "o-oh I'm sorry" he sputters. "Well.. goodnight." He says walking towards the boys bedrooms.

"Goodnight" I reply, turning to scan the common room. I look around to see a shelf of books. I make my way over to the bookshelf and examine the books. I see book on the top shelf titled Tales of Beetle the Bard. I reach up to grab the book but I can't reach. I sigh as I look around for something to stand on so I can reach. When I cant find anything to stand on I attempt to reach again, only to feel a presence behind me and a body press against mine. My breath hitches as a hand brushes against mine to grab the book. I try to spin around but an arm is planted by my side, preventing me from turning. I close my eyes as the book was placed into my hand. The body pulled away from me but the hand was still at my side.

"That's a good book choice" the familiar voice of Caleb speaks in my ear. I jump at the sound of him in my ear. I whip around and smack his cheek before I can think. He looks at me in disbelief holding his hand on his cheek and laughs.

"Your a feisty one" he coos. "I like feisty ones." I glare at him.

"Thanks Caleb" I say as I walk away with the book. I step up a couple stairs to the girls sleeping quarters, and realize I have no idea where I'm going. I take a deep breath. It's ok.. it's just Caleb what can go wrong. I thought to myself. I slowly turn around to scan the room for any girl that may know the way. When I see one I slowly start walking in her direction. I walk right past Caleb and up to the girl.

"Hello" I say. "My name is Y/N Arrington.. I need help finding my room" I say, my fave flushing red. She giggles.

"Hello y/n, I'm Imelda, I can lead you to your room" Imelda says kindly.

"Thank you" I sigh. We make our way back to the dorms. I clutch my book tighter against me and squeeze my eyes shut as we walk past Caleb.

"Your lucky" Imelda mutters when we finally get out of earshot of him. "He's the hottest guy in the Slytherin house.. and he never talks to anyone. Your the only one I've seen him talk to since my second year!" I roll my eyes.

"I wish he didn't talk to me. He's kind of a jerk" I grumble. She giggles again.

"Well.. here we are!" She says excitedly as she points to a room. "I hope we can be friends." She smiles. I smile back.

"Of course we can be friends Imelda!" She grins ear to ear and skips off to her room.

I sigh as I push open the door to the dorm. It wasn't that late so luckily I had the whole room to myself. I look through my trunk in search of clean pajamas. I put them on and climb into bed. I lay facing the ceiling, thinking about how Caleb and Sebastian treated me. Like I was actually something? No.. Ty is the only one who has treated me like a human since we ran away from home. He understands me...  my thoughts fade away as I drift off into a deep sleep.
