With the test completed, I feel like I did pretty well. I've got one day to train and/or relax... the first thing to do though is to actually go down to the placement board and make sure I made it through. You never know.

The second day, and here I am thinking that I was going to get woken up by my alarm blaring. However, instead, I was woken up by a familiar smooth female voice...

Sophie: "wake up sleepy head, I've got some good news for you!"

I pry my eyes open to see Sophie at the foot of my confined bed looking at me with a big smile. Her hair is done beautifully and her glasses reflect little sunlight that passes through my blind. she is wearing a blue top and some really tight jeans. I wipe my eyes and sit up to find my clothes neatly in a corner of the room and my room is cleaned...

James: "Hey Soph, why did you wake me up so early? and thanks... I think, did you do my clothes and clean my room?"

She continues to smile warmly and I and I couldn't help smile back, it may just be the fact that I'm a sun att and I'm always happy in the morning, but when I don't think that's the case when I'm with Sophie. I really do care for her.. and the fact that I'm going with her to the magic test and I get to impress her. That is the best. while idly stare at Sophie she responds to me while getting up and looking down at the floor quite nervously:

Sophie: "Yeah... I hope I didn't piss you off, I know that you didn't ask me to, but I thought that your room did look a little bit messy.

As I get up, I realize that I only sleep with my underwear... Shit, I quickly try to put on some clothes to avoid the massive embarrassment. Realizing that the clothes were either in my wardrobe or done neatly on my table, I ended up standing there in the most embarrassing pose I've ever been in my life...Thanks to Sophie. When I look at her, expecting a look of horror and anger, the face she was making was a completely different one to the one I had thought she would have made. She looked surprised but not a bad surprised. She started quickly looking at me up and down and observing me... So maybe she really does like me. I'm not complaining. I laugh nervously as she looks away quickly to allow me to change, but not before seeing a small smile on her lips... I mean I don't blame her for looking. I guess I sneak a peek sometime.

James: "So what is so important that you need to wake me up so early? You mentioned about having good news... Is cleaning my room the good news? Because if so thanks."

When she turns back to face me, she smiles even more than she did when she looked at me. A little bit of redness still remain on her cheeks:

Sophie: "Well, I woke up really early just to look at the placement board... And we both made it! We should go relax before tomorrow, or train I don't really mind. It's up to you really.

She looks at me suggestively. I think today in my personal opinion because we did amazing to get in, I feel like relaxing and getting to know Sophie a lot better if you know what I mean...
There are also so many things and cool places that the school has to offer, like the library or the specific rooms for like the different elements I wonder if they have a sunroom. Anyway, we have all day because thankfully, people who participated in the placement get the day off before the actual tests. So I have the whole day to get close to Sophie. I smile as my mind races with excitement.

James: "That's sick! And that means we have the whole day to relax. I say we check out the places that the school has to offer! What do you say? After breakfast... I'm fucking starving!"

We both share a laugh as I finish up trying my shoelaces and as we are walking toward the cafeteria every now and then some other students our year congratulating us which already made the day amazing. The cafeteria was nice and empty due to most people still in bed at this time. We take a seat down and I order the same I did yesterday because it was so good. Sophie orders something called "Mystical Cereal" where apparently the cereal itself is enchanted so it gives you a prophecy. I scoff at the idea. I observe the cereals moving into a position where they spell "Bf James." Sophie quickly puts her spoon in the middle to jumble up the letters. She assumes that I was eating so I didn't see what it spelled. She was wrong. However, I am curious about what she'll say if I ask, to tease her of course:
