My alarm goes off. I get dressed in a dress and heels. The dress is quite loose on me and doesn't show off my shape.

Yesterday, I had found out Professor Grey works in a lab making medication. Plus, he loves herbology. I've had an interest in it since I changed schools. Anyway, I decided to go to the mall to pick up some stuff. My little brother wanted to tag along, so we headed off to the mall. It was a bit of a trek to get there. When we arrived, my brother—Nick—was pestering me to get him a snack. So, I did. His phone kept buzzing. I shot him a glare.

"Sorry!" he said sheepishly.

His face drooped. He said, "My friends are going to the park and I wanna go, but I doubt Mum will let me go!"

I replied, "Call her. She may let you go. It's worth trying, right? What's the worst that could happen?"

He called her. Judging by how his face lit up, Mother had probably agreed. He rushed up to me. "She let me go. I am going now. Bye, sis!"

"Bye!" I called out. I then remembered I wanted to pick up some stuff, so I headed shopping for a bit. I came to this one bookstore. I was looking at the books when a title caught my eye: A Beginner's Guide to Herbology. It looked like a very old book; it was ripped and very tattered. I am not getting this just because Professor Grey likes it, I thought. Reluctantly, I bought it. I then heard loud noises and saw a man who wasn't leaving a woman alone. So, I pushed him off her. My brother and father taught me how to protect myself, so I punched him. He swung his leg at me and hit me in my lower abdomen. It hurt a lot, but I kept fighting.

"Ahahaha, I love ice cream!" the little boy cried.

Ashton then said, "So do I. I love ice cream as well!"

The little boy is his brother, Jordan. Jordan then cried, "Big brother, I'm tired!"

He then took Jordan to the café, and Jordan sat down and said, "Oh, look at that fight outside!"

Ashton then saw a familiar figure. "Oh god," he muttered. He then asked a waiter to look after his brother, and he rushed over and said in a harsh voice, "Miss Falke! Come with me right now!"

Back to Ameillia's POV

I heard a harsh voice, and it was Professor Grey's voice, and he sounded angry. I took my things from the lady and followed him to a café. He then pulled a chair out for me and asked me, "What in the world were you doing?"

I answered, "Uh, fighting, sir. I mean, you just saw me."

He glared at me and then asked for a first aid kit. I heard a little squeaky voice come from behind Professor Grey. I looked at him, and he nodded at me. I then said in a more mature voice, "Well, hello there!"

I thought I saw Professor Grey looking shocked just a little.

The boy said, "Hi, I'm Jordan!"

Jordan then said, "You look funny!"

I said, "Ah yes, I suppose I do look."

Professor Grey then said to me, "I will ask for a first aid kit."

He then knelt by Jordan and said in a much softer tone, "Jordan, I will be back in a minute. Make sure to listen to Ameillia, okay?"

He replied, "Okay!"

A couple of minutes passed, and he came back with a first aid kit. He knelt on the ground next to me, and I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. He treated me, and I thanked him. I then realized I didn't have my phone on me. I excused myself to the bathroom.
