Chapter 4:

(Keefe's POV)

After leaving Sophie alone In her doorway, I grin in delight. Racing down the halls to get back to the silver towers and into my dorm, I replay the memories in my head.

I can't believe she actually loves me back.

I thought for a while that Sophie only liked Fitz, but apparently I was wrong.

If Fitz finds out, he's going to kill me.

I knew that Fitz liked Sophie. And that still worries me. Yeah, now Sophie is officially my girlfriend, she even said it herself, but I couldn't help but wonder if she still felt stronger towards Fitz. Shaking my head, I climb onto the Silver Tower's Voltanator. "One hundred fifty!" I say aloud, then watched as my surrounding blurs as I head to the one hundred fiftieth floor.

-----------------

(Sophie's POV)

I awake once again to blinding lights coming in from my huge window. But this time, the lights only cover up half my face. I snicker as I find myself still sitting in my desk chair, my head laid against the desk with elvin history books surrounding it. I groggily lift up my head and stand up, pushing back my chair. My back aches from the sitting position I've been in all night.

Ugh, I've must've fell asleep last night while doing homework.

Then the negative thoughts quickly disappear as I think about Keefe. It was hard to believe that Keefe was no longer a friend. For a minute I thought that it was all just a dream, until I pinch myself.

This is not a dream. He really did kiss you last night. You saw it. I thought to myself.

I groan as I stretch, very aware that last night I forgot to change out of my Golden Tower uniform. Today was going to be a hard day. It was Tuesday, which meant Telepathy with Fitz in the Silver towers, which meant that today I had to tell him about my secret. That's our very last step until we officially become cognates. I was very nervous, knowing that for the past two weeks either Fitz or I have been skipping telepathy. We are busier than we think.

Even though I had started having feelings for Keefe, my heart still flutters when I'm around Fitz. It would be weird to tell him, knowing that I was dating someone else.

But I have no choice, I sigh.

It's either now or never.

----------------------

(Fitz POV)

Tuesday. Today was the day where I wouldn't skip telepathy. The day that I knew for sure that I wanted to be Sophie's cognate. And maybe something else other than a friend.

What will she think though?

I pull my hand through my hair.

No, just think positive. There is still a chance that Sophie likes you. I assure myself.

Then I swing open my dorm door and lock it. I've already finished dressing up for the upcoming school day. I made sure that today, my hair looked extra special since I couldn't do anything with my clothes.

I hate these uniforms! The prodigies in the Gold and Silver towers were required to either wear a robe or cape at all times. Of course I chose to wear a cape. Robes were lamer in my opinion.
