*Previously*
Class had just finished and just like every other day before this I was on my way towards the woods. Hopefully I would be able to travel a little deeper into the woods to document it on my map... Maybe I'll even find a new plant to add to my growing indoor garden. Mother would kill me if she could see it. I've always had a special way with plants and neither she not anyone could just except that and let me be. Almost my whole living area if overrun with plants. It makes this hatred just a little bit easier to handle. Itgives me a glimmer of happiness.

Chapter 18
"I see you're not very popular around here" a voice said from behind me. Gasping I spun around. I hadn't even heard him approaching, I had been too lost in thought. "You're the new girl" he stated. Ruffled snow white hair and startling blue eyes. "Airis" I whispered. My voice seemed to disappear. "Airis" He muttered. Oh my fish sticks! My name has never sounded so sensual before. "A-and who are you?" I asked finally able to find my voice. "Sirion Star" he answered as a smirk tilted his lips skywards. His seemingly soft and lush pink lips. Kissable. Heavenly. He must be an angle.
"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to get my mind off his lips. His eyes are so deep I could get lost within them and I'd never want to leave... My thoughts seem to run rampant. I have no control over them.
"I just wanted to know what all the fuss was about..." He trailed off. I'm lucky I've spent my whole life learning how not to show my sadness because believe me when I say that that, hurt a lot. 'How can words from a stranger cut so deep...' I think as I struggle to maintain my stand without wincing or letting it slip across my face. My eyes too are carefully blank and I fight with then to stay tear free.
"You're a lot prettier than they described..." He whispered taking a step closer. This time I do allow my body to react and I take a step or two back. I need the space.... What?
"You think I'm pretty?" I'm so stupid! Out of everything he just said that's all I take in! Idiot.
His laugh is soft but rich. It sounds like the rush of a waterfall as it echoes all around me and I have to fight the urge to close my eyes and soak it up like a person that had been stranded in the desert for years.
"Quite" he smirks again.
"Take a walk with me?" I ask tilting my head towards the wooded area. I have been going there everyday. Alone, because like he said... I'm not all that popular.
"Ok" he nodded with a small smile settled across his face. I thought he would've put up more of a fuss about going into the woods .... After that attack that literally changed my life. As a matter of fact I dont think the professors ever did anything about the creature in the woods. I just haven't seen it since that fateful day, though I do hear it simetimes as it crawls through the underbrush stalking me but keeping quite a safe distance.
Soon though he pulls me from my thoughts with a question I didn't think I would be ready for. "So fire?" He asked running a hand through his hair. I want to do that... I can't help but think as my eyes trail over his movements unconsiously.
"What of it?" I snap as my mind registers what he had just said. I might love my element but I can't help but get a little defensive. I've been hated and ridiculed about it since that first time in the woods. Until I saw his eyes flinch as his gaze trailed off towards the right and I felt guilt cloak my heart.
