School of Dawn

Chapter 5, Lesley's POV

Principal's Office, Lesley's POV,
Gusion and I looked at each other and exchanged guilty glances, when entering the principal's office. The principal tells us to sit down.

"I sense a lot of nervousness coming from you guys" Principal Pharsa said.

"Yes ma'am" Gusion admitted, looking down at his hands.

"Well, you are not in trouble." Principal Pharasa smiled. "Instead, I would like to get your honest opinion about the Assassin class. A lot of people tell me that they tease the Marksman. Is this true?"

"Yes... In fact they kick people out that support marksmans" I mumble, "Even those who have any relationships with marksman are kicked out."

"And judging by the cafeteria incident, I'm guessing you got kicked out too?" Principal Pharsa simpired.

"Yes! Lesley was kicked out for being simply half marksman/assassin" Gusion defended me.

"And looking at the way you help Ms. Vance, is that telling me that you are getting kicked out because you support her." Principal Pharsa chuckled, "Don't worry, even I have experienced that with someone named Alice."

"No more of that. Verri will keep a close eye on Assassin class. You guys should start getting ready for the exam."

"Verri?" Gusion asked.

"Ah, he is my husband." Principal Pharsa replied while nuzzling a white feathered dove.

Me and Gusion exchange glances, Gusion winks at me. Knowing what he means, I blush.

"You are excused." Principal Pharsa said, motioning them out the door.

Once me and Gusion exit, I look back into the principal's office. She smiles and nods in return. After that, she kisses the dove on the forehead and goes back to work. Verri starts flying out of the office and to the battlefields. Possibly telling Principal Pharsa what was happening.

"Come on Gusion! Let's go watch the battle!" I smile at Gusion and pull his hand. I ran to the arena.

Gusion and I pick a seat on the bleachers in the very back row, hoping nobody will notice us. Then Guinevere came over and sat next to Gusion. I saw the annoyed look on Gusion's face. Guinevere sits down and hugs Gusion's arm.

"Gusion. Oh my beloved Gusion! My fiance. Let's go somewhere else. I do not want you to get dirty sitting next to garbage." Guinevere smiles at Gusion then glares at me. I roll my eyes at her and thinks Well, you are sitting next to him too.

"Leave me alone, Guinevere." Gusion demanded.

"How can I leave when you're in the hands of a noob." Guinevere laughed, trying to pull Gusion out of his seat.

"First of all, I'm not a noob. Second of all, Gusion can do whatever he likes." I said

"Okay, fine!"

I watched Guinevere as she walked away, flipping her hair in front of our face

"Is it true? Guinevere is your betrothed?" I tried not to sound disappointed that Gusion can't be with me.

"Yes..." Gusion looked at me, right in the eye "But I'll never love her. I don't care what my family says, I want to be with you."

"Why can't you say that to the Assassins then?" I asked, turning away from those beautiful brown eyes.

"It's... impossible." Gusion shook his head, "I... just..."

"Don't you want to be with me? If you love me, then you would tell them." I look back at his face.

"Then answer me... Do you love me?" Gusion says

That question took my by surprise. Gusion leans in closer to me. I held my breath. Closed my eyes.

"I can't be in love with someone that doesn't admit our love to others." I whispered "If you truly love me, tell them the truth."

I really want to kiss him now

"If I tell the assassins, would you love me?"

"That's for you to find out" I opened my eyes once again meeting his intense stare.

"Hello! What are you guys doing? " Harley asked, not yet looking at us

I pull away from Gusion as Harley looks at me.

"Oh! Hi Harley. We were just watching the fight" I quickly say.

"Hi sister, hi K-Pop Freak." Harley greets, sitting in between me and Gusion.

"Hello to you too, Harley." Gusion rolled his eyes.

"Nobody asked you to talk!" Harley glares at Gusion

"Don't be mean, Harley." I say

"Why can't I? Nobody gets to steal my sister from me!" Harley shot.

"How am I stealing her?" Gusion asks

"You are taking my sister away from me! She is mine!" Harley protests.

"I said HOW am I stealing her." Gusion repeats

"Oh... Everyone knows you love my sister! You spend too much time with her!" Harley screamed.

"So what? Aren't you in love with that tank elf?" Gusion sneered.

"At least I'm not stealing her!" Harley blushes.

"She doesn't have any siblings!" Gusion countered.

"Alright alright, enough!" I stand up, "Harley! Sit away from Gusion."

"But then he is going to..." Harley says

"I said... go sit away from Gusion." I tell him.

Harley glares at Gusion. Then looks back at me

"Fine! But I'm watching you K-Pop Freak! If you hurt my sister, you don't know what I'll do!"
