Late Night Conversations

Dylan's POV

We walk in the middle of the room and just stand there awkwardly. We both just look around the room our gazes never meeting, I begin to tap my foot and tap my hand agaisnt my thigh.

"So do you want the top or the bottom bunk?" Phoebe breaks the awkward silence. After a lot of consideration, ha who am I kidding I didn't even consider it.

"The top bunk of course!" I exclaim while Phoebe just laughs at me. I do a qiuck walk to the bed and up the stairs to claim my bed. Phoebe still just laughs and sits on her bed, patting it for me to come join her. I stubbornly cross my arms and shake my head, even know she can't see me.

"Are you going to come join me to talk?" She asks me.

"No, I'm not getting off my bed, this is my bed" I scoff. "You're gonna have to come up here onto my bed." It's only been two minutes and I have already claimed my bed and is ready to defend it at any costs.

"Argh, fine!" Phoebe stands up and trudges over to the stairs and stomps her way to the top. I scurry up the bed to make more room for her. I slouch down with my head agaisnt the wall, back on my pillow and my legs close to me, while Phoebe sits crossed legged leaning back with her hands behind her.

"So why were you looking for me " I inquire.

"I was looking for you becasue I need to talk to you"

"What do you need to talk to me about?" She is starting to look a little bit nervous.

"I need to talk to you about you and you staying here" She answers truthfully but now I'm confused and nervous.

"Why do you need to talk to me about me and my staying here, I thought Miss Faragonda said it was ok." I'm worried that I am not allowed to stay here anymore and at the thought that Phoebe needs to talk to me about myself. Phoebe leans forwards and pulls me into a hug to calm me down.

"Oh no you're still staying here, it's just you need to have a guardian to be able to stay here" my eyes go water as I fight back the tears. "So Faragonda would like to know if you wouldn't mind her adopting you." I pull out of the hug and look at Phoebe in the eyes.

"What?"

"Yeah she wants to adopt you well at least until we find your parents" I hug Phoebe and she returns it.

"Ok but can we deal with that tomorrow?" Phoebe giggles.

"Ok but after school, becasue you're getting your timetable tomorrow and starting classes." Phoebe confesses. I just start laughing while Phoebe pulls out of the hug and gives me a 'you're so weird' look.

"Yay school, magic school!" I exclaim excitedly, so we both start laughing. After about ten minutes of laughing and hugging we stop and sit in silence.

"So what is that chick, Griselda's deal?" I ask out of the blue.  

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she is always so grumpy and rude and blunt." She snorts.

"I don't know, she's always has been and always will be like that." She lets me know.
