Wayward Mages

Chapter 9

Kaira

I think that the guy we just met is kinda cute . . . His name was Kyle, right? I think he has a crush on Charlie, because he blushed when he saw her. He also looked disappointed when she left to pack her bag. I hope he likes me too though, but I'll be really happy for Charlie if they end up together. Anyway, why am I thinking like this? I have a mission...

Aaah, but he's so cute!!! What am I going to do if I'm so distracted during the mission?

I tell myself, First comes the mission then the cute boy Kyle . . .

A blue sphere comes rolling towards me through the air. It unfolds and turns into a mini version of Guardian. It says, "Come to my office. We're going to discuss modes of transportation. Come immediately!" 

I practically run to Charlie's room to tell her about it, and then go and find Kyle. The three of us burst into the Guardian's office together.

"Now, children," Guardian begins but I can hardly concentrate with Kyle right next to me. OMG!!! He's so cute, I can't believe he's been training with us this entire time and I haven't even noticed him! At the end I hear Charlie thank Guardian and tells her that we need to leave for the mission. What? It's over already I didn't even understand a thing! l'll have to ask Charlie about it later.

"Hey, Charlie, can you tell me what Guardian was saying? I sort of zoned out."

"Yeah, I could tell. You didn't seem like you were in this world." says Charlie. "You were staring at Kyle the whole time," she says smirking.

"Was not!" I said hotly.

"Anyways, you are lucky he didn't notice," she says. "He would have felt uncomfortable under the intensity of your gaze." I huff angrily and storm off to my room. I thought about it. Was it that obvious?
