***********************************Mrs.Burke's POV*****************************************

I gathered my things and headed out, I flapped my blue feathered wings in a lazy way, like I do when I am in daydreaming. I always day dream about Serenity, the places we could go, the things we could do, the sights we could see, I could keep her safe, and she would never have to worry again, if only.... Ms. Caroline Burke you stop this right now! You know the dangers of falling for a student you have done it before and you know where it got you!.. Oh excuse, forgive me for not introducing myself, my name is Caroline Burke, I am 28 and, just for the record I am single and lesbian. And also, let's get another thing straight, I am not a pervert either,  Serenity is 18 and, if she wanted to be with me, it would perfectly legal for us to be together. And yes, I have fallen for another student, but I never wanted to act on it, and the feelings I had were never this strong. I am not into Serenity just for her looks, but also for her personality, she is the sweetest girl I have ever met, she never says a unkind word to anyone, and she is always respectful, to me, and any other teacher or adult she is talking to, or is being talked to.  She is also one of the smartest girls in the class.  Sadly, none of this will change the fact that she likes Jeffrey and is probably straight.  I fly home quickly and go to sleep without dinner, I am not hungry and besides, while I am laying in bed, I can dream about Serenity. This time, I am dreaming about our wedding, it's beautiful. We get married on a beach(my dream wedding location btw), and she is wearing a pink dress to match her wings, and I am wearing a blue dress,(blue being my favorite color). We say short and sweet vows, and then we jump into the water with our dresses on and splash each other, because we are both rebels, we differ from the norm, and we won't conform to anyone's level of normality. I might as well sleep, and stop dreaming about her, when I know it will never happen..

************************************Serenity's POV********************************************

The next day

I told my family about me being chosen for the quest last night, and they weren't that happy about it at first. They thought fighting was a man's job, but then I informed them that anything a guy can do a girl can do better, and they agreed. The all hugged me tightly, and helped me pack. My family is sweet and loving, they are always there for me, and I guess that's something that keeps me going, well that, and knowing I will see Ms.Burke the next day of course.

The next day

I told my family about me being chosen for the quest last night, and they weren't that happy about it at first.

Now, as I pick up the things I will bring, and start for school, I realize how much I will miss them, but it will be awesome working alongside Ms. Burke every day. I am not flying to far away when I hear a voice calling me, "Serenity, wait up!" Jeffrey called, and within a minute he was right next to me. "Yeah dude?" I ask, annoyed. The guy can be really annoying at times, he was even more annoying when my brother was here, we used to annoy each other, it was fun. "Ms. Burke really has the hots for you." Jeffrey said. Again with the teacher having a crush on me thing! What do I have to tell the guy to make it clear that she does not like me, and she never will! "Jeffrey, I explained this before, she does not like me. " I told him, still very much annoyed"Now Jeffrey stop it, right now!" I practically yelled at him,I don't like yelling, but he was being annoying, and I was not fully awake yet. Why does he care anyway?! "But she does though", Jeffrey said, in a tone I had never heard him use before, he almost sounded concerned. "Jeffrey, why do you care any way?" I finally asked. I was curious to hear his response. "Your brother asked me to watch out for you before he left" Jeffrey said plainly. Everything makes sense now! That's why he stopped being such a pain up the rear when my brother left, he asked Jeffrey to watch for me, like my brother did, before we went to war.. He never came back, and no I don't want to talk about it. "OK" Jeffrey said"You will see, but just be careful OK". I laugh and say "there is nothing to worry about, she doesn't see me like-" I was cut off by a familiar voice " Hello Serenity, Hello Jeffrey" Ms.Burke said, as she flew by. Oh shoot! What if she heard out conversation? How awkward would that be?! Great job Jeffrey! " Jeffrey!" I practically shout, when I think she is out of ear shot "do you think she heard us?" "I don't know, nor do I really care" Jeffrey said, blankly, "see you in class, and maybe, if she thinks someone knows she won't try anything". Then Jeffrey flies off to school. Jeffrey may not care, but I was stressing, what if she heard us? What if she thought I liked her, or thought I thought she liked me? Ugh, this is weird..
