The School Of Magiks

Charles

    I awoke to the bells chiming 5 times, Which meant I had 2 hours before I had to meet Mr.Chance in his office for my class schedule. I rolled over to find Leon had already left, I felt a little saddened by being alone but I had to get ready. I ran over to my closet and looked through my uniforms adoringly. There were a few uniform options, which was honestly quite nice. It felt almost freeing to decide for myself what I wanted to wear. I grabbed a polo shirt, cardigan and a knee length black skirt. I went to my dresser to grab undergarments and socks, to my surprise there was black and blue socks in ankle and knee length already sitting in my drawer. I grabbed the knee highs and headed down stairs to my bathroom. After I was showered and dressed I just stood there staring at myself in the mirror. I looked different, and that made me feel free again. From this day on, everything was up to me and I couldn't have been happier. The bags under my eyes had seemed to dissipate, as well as the redness around the rims of my eyes. My hair on the other hand had more silver flecks, at least half of my head had been the shining pearl color now. I blow dried my hair quickly, pulling up half of my hair into a black bow. I was ready to take on the day.

    I stood on the second floor now outside the headmasters office. I had gotten lost and now was almost late, but I had made it before the seven chimes thankfully. I knocked and heard a gruffly 'come in'. I slowly opened the door and stood quizzically. The wall paper had trees blowing in the wind, and I mean really blowing in the wind. There were leaves scattering across the walls, and I could hear the rustling. "It's enchanted to match the weather outside" he nodded towards it. As I looked around more I seen a globe slowly turning, a tea set floating in the air by his desk, and a note pad and pen scribbling furiously. I looked at him noting in my mind that he looked almost uneasy, his face looked rougher and rugged today. His head was leaning on his hand while he stared at the note pad.
"Umm, sorry for being nosy.. but are you ok sir.. er Mr. Chance?" He looked up at me then with eyes of sorrow, and gave a weak smile.
"So kind Merah.. Asking if someone is ok isn't being nosy. You have a kind heart, I don't know how you have it being raised by that woman but.. I'm sorry I really shouldn't say things like that. She just always has to have things her way, doesn't she?" My eyes grew wide, oh no.. was I being sent home? "Don't be scared Merah, you aren't going anywhere. Your mother just had her opinions about your schedule, but I told her you will have the same curriculum as any other student here. And as an 18 year old fae, you are free to make your own decisions. She can't force you to go back home, and as this schools headmaster I will back you in any choice you make here, understand Merah?" He looked at me with me the kindest eyes I had ever seen, I admired him. To stand up to my mother wasn't an easy task, and I could tell by the looks of him that he had gotten an ear full today from her.
"Thank you so much sir.. I just want to do good here. I don't want my mother to be a nuisance to you tho."
"Merah, your education is important, not just to me, but to the future of all of our kind. You deserve to be here, and I don't care what problems your mother causes me, I will make sure that you are given everything you need here to succeed. Okay?" I nodded, admiring him a little more.
"Thank you Mr.Chance."
"Just call me Charles ok?" I nodded again, I wasn't going to fight him after what he was doing for me. "Now, you have six courses here listed." He reached the paper out to me, and I took it quickly and gladly. "since all of you royals are behind you will be in class with them this semester. There are 2 history courses, 1 math course, and 3 magic courses. Next semester you will be making your own schedule tho. I'm sure you will be caught up in no time. Now, go show them who's boss." I nodded and he waved his hand, I heard the door open swiftly behind me. I turned and stopped in my tracks, I didn't want him to think I didn't appreciate what he was doing.
"Thank you again Charles, I'm honored to have such a respectable headmaster." I turned quickly without another word and headed to B2 as it said on my schedule and map.

I walked into the room to find my other classmates had already taken their seats, but the teacher hadn't arrived yet. Thankfully, I wasn't late to class on my first day. I looked around scared of who I'd have to sit next to and caught Leon's eyes, he smiled and pulled out the chair next to him. I was glad, out of all the royals I'd have to be in class with, my mate was one of them.

        The day dragged slightly, mostly because I kept getting lost. I was grateful that Leon was with me every step of the way. He was also very patient with me, as I was very clumsy and kept tripping or slipping since I hardly looked up when I was walking. He would grab me a lot to catch me from the fall, luckily as a vampire he's very fast on his feet. He tried to carry me a couple of times, but I refused. Throughout the day I was very thankful he never mentioned anything about how he found me last night.

"Merah, are you there?" I quickly looked up to see Leons face looking down at me in exasperation. I shook my head trying to clear away my thoughts. We were in the library going over our class notes for the day.
"Yeah sorry, I was a little lost in thought. What were you saying?" He shook his head and gave a small smirk showing a little bit of fang between his lips. Breath taking..
"I was just asking if this color was ok.." He glanced over to a small open white box. Inside was an oval object, one side was a shiny black and the other side was a copper color, just like his eyes. I picked it up gently and looked it over and it came to life. Well the side that was once black did, it showed the time and what looked like Vincent Van Gohs starry night behind the clock.
"I love the color.. Is this mine?" I looked up to see him grinning ear to ear.
"It's your new cellphone. Here swipe your finger up on the picture." I did as he asked and seen a bunch of little squares all over the screen. "Those are apps, each one does something different. Like this one-" He pointed to a green square with a little bubble that said messages. "This is the app you use to send a message to someone. Give it a try." I clicked on the icon he said and seen a square that said Leon so I clicked it. And seen 'You are absolutely breathe taking ❤️'  I blushed a little and looked away to hide my face, quickly feeling his hand tug on my chin to pull my gaze back. He eyed me carefully and rubbed the backs of his fingers across my face, admiring every piece of me his hand caressed. "I mean it." I felt his thumb reach my lower lip and slowly pull it down, which made me gasp a little at the electrical feel in his touch. And just like that his mouth was on mine once again. His breath smelled sweet like honey, and he tasted just as sweet. His tongue always brushed mine so gently and carefully, which made me breathless. So breathless, I was falling. No, like really falling
