This is a quote that I found that I think describes this book and its title best: "If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees." ---Kahlil Gibran!

Skylar's POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I slept with Lily, Riley and Del in their room last night so that we can take the day to get ready. I don't even know why we have to take a day to get ready!!!! I'm telling you right now that it is going to be a very painful day! For me and for you whoever you ever.
"FOOOD!" I shout as Del comes into the room with a whole bunch of it. I take two pieces of toast and then eat a banana. "What are we doing for the day?"
"Sky, you know what we're doing!" Del answers annoyed.
"Yes, but it should only take an hour or two to get all of that stuff done!" Lily answers.
"You see, I agree with Li on this one! We should be able to move from here!" Riley and Del share a look before Riley speaks.
"We thought about expanding the room with a spell that we came across in a book!" This time it's Lils and I who share a look and we smirk at each other.
"What's the spell?" Lils asks. Riley goes over to her trunk and then digs out a old looking book, she flips the yellow pages to one that is bookmarked and shows it to me. On the top, it reads Capquintum and says that to do this spell, you have to run your hands over the spot while repeating the word until you're done. Seems easy enough. We start and it works so we do it until the room is the size of the eating hall, only a bit smaller. We did the closets and bathroom as well so now the bathroom is the size of a small room as well as the closets. It's pretty awesome. We redecorated as well by using another spell that we found called Fallaeilis Sunt, you walk around the room and imagine what you want it to look like. Lets just say that it turned out amazing! We didn't know how much time we wasted until we looked at the clock and saw that it was already two. We look at the plate that Del brought up around nine and see that it is full with new food. I will never get used to magic, no matter how many times I see it. We head over and I pick out a ham, cheese and lettuce sandwich. I grab a random cup of water and drain it. I look at Lils, Del and Riley to find that they have also finished.
"Dress time!" Riley says excitedly with a clap of her hands. Lils and I look at each other and shake our heads.
"Well to bad she wasn't asking!" Del says. "But before hand, we thought that we should show you a little spell!" We nod in encouragement so they go ahead and do the spell. The hold their hands out towards us.
"Duraret!" I can no longer speak or move my body. Del and Riley rush forward and pull us both into chairs, making us sit down.
"We only did this so that you would corporate!" Del explains.
"We knew that it would be a struggle to do your hair and make-up so instead froze you so that you couldn't move and forced you to sit down. Don't worry, we have the counter charm!" Riley finishes with a smirk. I try to narrow my eyes a find out that I can't. I mentally cross my arms and huff in annoyance. Riley starts doing my hair, while Del starts doing Lily's make-up. By the time Riley is done with me, I have my hair in a curls that go down my back, in the middle of the curls, she braided my hair and then put silver and white pearls and jewels in it.
*Skip all of the make-up and girly stuff 'cause I don't do that stuff!*
3rd person POV
By the time Skylar, Lily, Riley and Del were finished with getting ready, they only had five minutes to get down to the Eating hall where the Winter Ball was taking place. Skylar came out of the bathroom first with a white based dress that had red designs lacing up the sides of it. Del did her make-up simple, but elegant, she has silver sparkly eyeshadow that matched her hair jewels nicely. She also has on some lip gloss, but that's it. She covered her arms in make-up to cover all of her scars, Lily did the same.
