Zodiac Academy: New Gen

Rygar Chapter 15

I was giving my usual speech that I give all of the first years that join Ignis. While making my speech, I looked over and see Elara looking at me with her big blue eyes. I see Tarin lean down and whisper something in her ear that makes her smile. I wish I was the one making her smile. I look around the room, finishing my speech locking eyes with a couple of first year girls. I walk over to introduce myself to them and let them know I am available for anything they need if they catch my drift. When I went to turn back, Elara and Tarin were already gone.

I made my way through the crowds of fae dispersing back or to find a room. I climb the stairs, getting halfway before I bump into Zandera and Ceralia coming down the stairs case. "Ladies" I say, smiling, Celaria rolling her eyes, and Zandera twirling a piece of hair. I look at the stair case and continue on my way, walking past them. I want nothing but Tarins' happiness, but what I felt outside during the house ceremony was pulling. I really wasn't thinking when I locked her in the closet. I guess I was trying to look cool, I really hope she can forgive me.

I make it up to the top floor, seeing that her door is partially closed. I walk up to it and can hear her and Tarin kissing. I turned around thinking about not walking in there. I stopped for a second before turning around and pushing the door open, leaning against the doorframe. I watch as Elara and Tarin pull away from each other. Something inside me turned angry and, at the same time, sad seeing them together.

Can we help you?" she says shooting me a glare. "I just wanted to come and see how my new floor mate was settling in. From the looks of it just fine!" I laughs, grabbing a seat on my bed. " Thanks for stopping by well see you later!" she says, walking to the door, opening it gesturing for me to leave.

"I think we got off on the wrong foot, little vampire." I say standing up and walking the opposite way of the door. She sighs, closing it, knowing I'm not leaving any time soon. "You mean when you locked me in a closet?" she says , crossing her arms standing in the middle of the room. Tarin is a few feet away from her watching me as I lean against the window. "Umm yeah, that or whatever." I say , smiling waving my hands like it was nothing. "I have a feeling you and I are going to become really good friends." I continue matching her crossed arm look. "What would give you that impression?" she says letting out a soft giggle. "Well since you and Tarin are kind of a thing now." I say pointing between her and Tarin making both of them blush. "Im guessing there will be a lot more of me, and you in eachothers lives." I say standing tall. "Lets just make a truce here and now. No more locking you in a closet or whatever. You and I are friends." I say moving towards her with my hands out. She looks between me and Tarin, who gives hera hopeful smile. "Fine deal." she says, grabbing my hand without letting go I pull her to me. "More than friends if you ever want to." I say, whispering in her ear. She pushes me back making me let out a little laugh. Tarin shot me a look while I laughed and stared until I stopped "Okay okay I'll let you guys get back to it." I say winking. "Maybe lock this!" I say pointing to the doorknob.

I walk out of the room, closing the door, leaning against it. I feel Elara come over and lock it behind me, leaning against the door behind me. I stood there for a while before going back to my room. I don't know what it was I was feeling, but I was drawn to Elara. I hadn't spent any time with her like Tarin, but the moments I did spend, I just wanted to watch her. This feeling feels like more than just something I am in control of.
