Monday came around sooner than I expected which meant I couldn’t avoid Lexus anymore, even though I was only successful avoiding him Sunday last weekend. I waited by his room so I could assist him. He might have been sleeping in since his first class didn’t start for another two hours.
“Hey get back here!” A little girl yelled at another child who was running and slighting flying in his dragon form. Children were a lot smaller in their dragon forms but still a lot bigger than in their human forms. They were small enough to fit in the castle in their dragon forms unlike adults. “You can’t shift in here!” They still weren’t allowed to.
Another girl came running from around the corner out of breath. “You guys wait!” She put her hands on her knees and panted. “You know I’m not as fast.”
The first girl turned to her. “If I slow down for you, he’ll get away!” She continued chasing the boy.
I watched the boy as he tripped and tumbled. He shifted back into his human form mid fall. “Ow…”
I walked to him and helped him up. “Are you okay?”
He hid behind me. “Don’t let Kaya tag me.”
I chuckled as she started chasing him because they were running circles around me until she tagged him. Now all three of them were out of breath. “Isn’t it a bit early for tag?” I asked.
The boy shrugged. “I guess but we won’t be able to play games later because we’ll be in school. Do you want to join?” I didn’t mind joining but I was waiting for Lexus and it’d be a bad look for me to be playing tag with kids in castle as an adult.
Kaya scoffed. “She’s probably working Gray.” I looked at the boy and I should have realized he was Konn’s son because of how much he looked like Konn, Cade, and Lynn. He resembled Lynn the most honestly. We both lived in the castle, it was only a matter of time until I bumped into Gray. Konn had to have realized that too.
I looked at Lexus’ door, maybe I had enough time. “I can play one round of tag.” I wanted to make a good impression on Gray before he knew who I was.

his first class. We didn’t talk the whole time I accompanied him to class. He didn’t try talking to me at all, surprisingly. Things between us felt different since he spent the night in my room. Not different because he wasn’t talking to me, but different like it was harder for me to not want him. When we left his last class

I felt it strongly, even more since that night, but I’m used to ignoring my feelings… It gets easy to ignore when you’ve been rejected so many
