Fires Collided

I was leaving lunch and I had no classes after it so I thought why not watch the practice.I arrived and not seeing Baron there felt weird.He's always been here when I came.He's been the captain and now seeing Kendrick be the captain on his own seems awkward.I don't know.It's probably just me."Hey boys."Kendrick turned around."Princess has attended the practice for the first time after Baron guys."I curtsied then chuckled."Haha.Very funny.I don't have any class and I have no homework.I have tons of time to kill.I thought I could watch.Is it ok with you guys?If it isn't I'm totally ok with leaving."Kendrick pinched my nose."Do that again and all you are will be ash.Got it?"He rolled his eyes."Sit at the bench."I rolled my eyes and sat on the bench.

I watched them and their strategies.They're good.And the rules are much different.The ball is enchanted so it's immune to fire and stuff.But it is very fun to watch.I was sitting and just looking around while they were taking a break.Then I thought I heard Peter."Hello?Rosalind Monroe?Earth to Rosalind Monroe?"I turned my head and it was him."You better not be a hallucination."He chuckled."Test it."I got up and kissed him.His arms were around my lower waist and it was really him.I broke the kiss in disbelief."What are you doing here?"Then I heard Kendrick.Yelling."DON'T YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND,PRINCESS?!"Then Ralph hit his shoulder."He is the boyfriend."Kendrick turned back at me."SORRY!"I giggled and turned back to Peter."Let's leave."He grabbed my books and we left.

We got to the tower and sat down."I transfered here."Shut up.Shut the fuck up.She the front door and the back door.Shut up.Shut the hol water up.What the hell?"I hugged him.Then broke the hug."How did you do that?It's a little over three weeks until the school year ends."He took a deep breath.I've been trying to transfer here for a couple months now.One of your letters kinda hit me hard.And since my grades were great I transfered."I kissed him hard."But that means...So wait a second.You're saying that I'm a Dragondeth.You're a Dragondeth.You tranfered here.You're going to be here all the time.That means we'll share the club tower and common area.And tha-"He kissed me to shut me up."Yes.It means exactly what it means."I kissed him back.Until dinner we spent our time together.

"Guys this is Peter.Peter this is Silver,Kendrick,over there we have Dexter and Ivory at the Eaglewan table,there is Cooper and Rolland over there at the Lionclutch table and that's all I think."He sat next to me and we all ate dinner.After dinner we were all in front of the fireplace.Then the door got knocked and I thought I would answer."Hey James."I went back to the fireplace and he joined."Hi guys."He sat between me and Peter."Hey James."Then Peter looked at me."James as in from the Bahamas?"I nodded."Who is he again?I've never seen him here before."I chuckled."I forgot to tell you.Absolutely my fault.James meet my boyfriend Peter."He got up between us."Sorry dude.As a boyfriend I hate it when her friends sit between us.My bad."He sat at another place."All good dude.No prob.""Ouu...thick French accent.Thicker than Ralph mentioned."I gave him a look."How does he know about Peter's accent?"I knew he saw us but I didn't know he heard us.

"How about I leave?""How about you stay or I'll tell Mel that you asked for Silver's advice?"He sat back down."I think I'll stay."Silver chuckled."We're going to have good talk with you later Williams."He sighed."We sure will Monroe.We sure will."

Following day I had Emotion Control.I just hope that Peter doesn't find out about that whole 'Ralph's father wanting me dead' thing."Get to your seats!Enough with the chit chat!We have a new student here.Peter?"He stood up.I was sitting next to him.Ivory made me a favor."Yes Professor?"He rolled his eyes."Sit back down.I don't care where you come from."He sat back down and Ralph started laughing secretly behind him with Crooks.So I raised my hand."Yes Ms.Monroe?""Professor it's weird enough that you don't care about a student that is new here but what is weirder is that Fern and Crooks are enjoying it a lot more than they should be.And honestly with them giggling around I cannot concantrate to my lesson."He rolled his eyes and gave them a look.I turned to my back and winked.He gave me a threatening look and I just smiled.

And now it was end of the year.Tomorrow was the graduate ball.I asked Baron if he wanted to go with me last year.He said yes.This year I'm asking Kendrick."Hey graduate."He turned around."Hey annoying little squicky toy that never really leaves."I rolled my eyes."So...do you have a date tot he ball tomorrow?I'd be happy to be your date."He rolled his eyes."You have a boyfriend that I don't completely like and can't deal with."I chuckled."It's one night and he's ok with it."He definitely isn't but if Kendrick says yes I think I can make him be ok with this."So...what do you say?"He rolled his eyes."Fuck it.It's a tridition for you.Might as well be a part of it before you ask someone else."I hugged him then went looking for Peter.Eventually I found him.

"What's up?"I hugged him from behind while he was sitting at the couch."All good over here.How about you?"I sighed."I was wondering if you would mind if I went to the graduate ball with Kendrick this year."He got up from the couch.He picked me up and put me on the couch like I was just a baby dall for him to play with."Explain.Because if you don't have an explanation I'm gonna have a lot of things in mind."I laughed."Sit down."I pulled him and he sat next to me."Last year I went with Baron.This year my only seventh year friend is Kendrick.So like I did with Baron I asked him if he wanted me to be his date.He first declined but then I convinced him into it because it's a tridition.So...do you mind if I go with him?You're leaving early anyways.You won't be here for the ball.You don't have to watch me dance with him when it's asked by headmaster Lyre."He sighed."Yeah...I guess I won't.Sure...you can uh...you can go with him."I kissed him."Thank you for understanding.Just know that I don't like him like I like you.Plus...he's like my older brother."He kissed me back.
