Sophie threw another shirt into her bag, zipping the zip. It's a tradition that every pupil in the Elite levels to go back home twice a month. Sophie threw the bag onto her shoulder, waiting for Biana to finish packing.
"Biana, you're only staying at Everglen for two days." Sophie exclaimed as she saw the massive suitcase Biana was holding.
"This is only half of what I usually bring." Biana replied. "When is it?"
"Pardon?" Sophie asked.
"Your date, Sophie." Biana's evil smile on her face told Sophie that her secret won't be safe if she didn't reply.
Sophie kept her mouth shut.
"C'mon, Sophie........" Biana begged.
"I'm not going to say this time, okay?" Sophie said, trying hard not to blush when she heard Fitz's name.
"Please..."
"Don't tell anyone, okay?" Sophie sighed.
"Okay." Biana said, though Sophie was pretty sure that she will tell the whole Foxfire right away.
"Tonight." Sophie said, Biana squealed loudly, making several heads turn their way. "Biana, keep your voice down!" Sophie exclaimed.
"What's so exciting?" Linh joined them as they walked down the hall, leaving Tam behind her.
"Sophie's going on a date." Biana said in a high-pitched voice. Sophie glared at her, "You promised me you won't tell anyone five seconds ago!"
"Who's the lucky boy?" Linh asked "Or... girl?"
"Fitz, actually." Biana whispered.
"I heard that." Sophie growled.

Sophie laid in her bed, her things thrown on the flowery carpet. She took a deep breath, taking off the foxfire uniform and wearing a casual shirt instead.
For the rest of the day, she spent the time in her room, reading books and relaxing until her mother called her to go downstairs.
