The whole day I was with Cooper, it took all of my will power not to say "you're hot" straight to his face. I had been chosen to go find Cooper to bring him here. I didn't really know what I was expecting when I heard about the first dude witch. He seems nice enough, and how he discovered his magic was almost as bad as mine. None of this matters though. We're in the house now, and this is the first time the rest of the girls have seen Cooper. Every mouth in the building drops open when Cooper walks in. I feel bad for him, being the only guy these girls have seen in a while. He turns bright red and I have to break the awkwardness.

"Ok keep your pants on girls. This is Cooper, he was found by the scouts, and was brought back here."

I say sternly. I wish everyone would stop looking at him. I don't entirely know why I'm so defensive. We aren't even together, but I feel like I should be the only girl he notices. We go on to the dining hall for a formal supper.

"Who cooks for you guys" Cooper asks genuinely confused.

"We're not sure; the food kind of just appears" Elise answers with a little too much affection in her voice

"Some spell cast long ago provides our food. The pantry and fridge are always full of you need anything extra." I clear this up so nobody else adds on. The rest of the dinner is quiet and awkward. It consisted of loving looks from the other 14 girls, and blushing from Cooper. We all finish our meal of Shrimp Scampi, and go our separate ways.

"I'll take you to your room Cooper"

We head up the first flight of the grand staircase and turn right down the red hall.

"The room at the very end is yours. I have the room right next to it."

"Wait" Cooper almost yells "I want to talk to you. I have a ton of questions about this place."

"Ok well we could go to my room" I say almost to quickly. "What did you ant to know about" I ask as we start walking down the hall.

"So who runs this place? Is their like, a headmaster or something?"

I understand his confusion, as I had the same question.

"There is a headmistress who runs the place, but she stays in her office. Nobody really knows why but we never disturb her unless we have an important question."

"Do you have to take classes? Like high school or something?" I guess he wants an education or something.

"We only really take classes on witchcraft and stuff, but we're allowed to do independent study on math and science of we want to." I answer in a tired tone. We reach my room and I let Cooper in first. We walk over to my bed and I sit him down.

"Hey, can you want to stay her while I take a shower real quick." I immediately regret saying that but witchcraft doesn't let you go back in time to correct stupid mistakes.

"Um, I guess so" he definitely seems weirded out.

"I'm sorry, you can turn on the tv if you want." I run into the bathroom before I blush really bad. I get out of the bathroom and sit down next to Cooper. He had made himself comfortable by watching the latest episode of America's Next Top Model.

"So what questions do you have about this place?"

"I kind of lied. I had questions about you." He says staring right into my eyes. My heart skips a beat and I swallow a little too loudly.

"Uh ok. ask away."

"So what is your ethnicity. I'm kind of confused, but whatever it is, you're really pretty."

If women could have boners I would.

"I'm Mexican and Pilipino, and thank you. Nobody has really told me I'm pretty before, but then again I've only lived with girls." I was really happy he wanted to talk about me because I didn't want to answer any questions about the house anyways.

"Do you think I should meet any other girls here? You seem like enough." he actually seems genuine.

"Well you'll meet people eventually but I think you and Camille would become good friends." I was laughing while I said this, but really touched that he thought I was enough.

"Who's Camille?"

"She's an asian girl who's a human voodoo doll. She's pretty sarcastic. I think you would like her." I don't know why, their personality types were pretty different, but I felt like they were going to like each other.

"Well I'm tired. I'm going to go back to my room now." I wanted to stop him but I knew he was really tired. I let him go and I finished the America's Next Top Model he had started.
