Why the hell did it have to always be dark 24/7? Having a light in the halls couldn't hurt.

I quietly tiptoed out of my shared room, and ventured out into the Academy of Unseen Arts. I needed some space from all the crazy witch's that were constantly surrounding me.

Stepping silently onto the black tile, I slid on my cloak. It was a special one; gifted to me by my grandmother who was a witch as well. It kind of ran in the family.

I decided to make a run for it. I quickly jogged down the halls and out the front doors of the Academy. I made sure I closed them quietly as I walked down the steps of the large building.

"Finally. Free at last." I muttered.

This sky was a deep black, stars decorating the vast atmosphere. They glittered in the moonlight and I couldn't help but smile to myself. It was absolutely beautiful.

I sighed as I walked into the woods. There were dried leaves crunching beneath my feet, the small howl of the wind blowing my hair in small wisps.

I had no idea where I would go, but I just kept walking. I made sure to not go too far just enough to clear my mind from the overcrowded thoughts. Things were becoming too much to handle and I needed a break.

I decided to hum a small tune to myself. I kicked some leaves in the process, in a way matching the beat. I sang the words softly as I passed through the tall trees that littered every inch outside.

My humming was cut short as I heard a deep chuckle behind me. I immediately turned around expecting some sort of demon, but to my astonishment, there was nothing there.

"What the hell?" I whispered. I pulled the dark cloak around me tightly. Luckily, there was a protection spell that was laced within the strands of the fabric. I should be good. Right?

"(Y/n)." The same voice spoke. I froze in my spot. Was someone pranking me right now?

"What?!" I yelled out in frustration. I genuinely did not have time for this. I was tired!

"Chill. It's just Nicholas." They said. I rolled my eyes as I saw a tall figure walk out from behind a large tree. I widened my eyes at him. Is he for real right now?

"Nick!" I huffed. He grinned as he stepped closer to me. We're now only a few feet apart. "Can I help you?"

He shook his head as he looked up at the sky. The moonlight illuminated his handsome features. The wind gently moved strands of his shiny black hair.

"Needed a break I'm guessing?" He asked. His eyes were searching for mine. I turned to the side so he couldn't see my face. It was the middle of the night, I wasn't looking my best.

"Yeah. Things are becoming too hectic around here. And the only time I have alone is out here when everyone is sleeping." I replied. He nodded his head in understanding, a small grin gracing his lips.

"I hope I didn't ruin it for you. But I do the same thing." He said. He walked closer to me as he gave me a larger grin.

"Your fine. At least I know I'm not the only one." I shrugged as I kicked a few stray sticks around with my foot. I wasn't very sure of what to say, and I knew I had to be careful with what I said around certain people. Specifically, Nicholas.

"Would you want to talk about it?" Nick asked. He sat down on the large roots of a tree. He raised an eyebrow at me as he stretched out his long legs.

I nodded softly as I sat beside him. It was silent at first, the root already making my ass hurt. What was it? Cement?

"What's got you all sad, (Y/n)?"

"I don't know. I guess I've been contemplating on whether or not I should just leave the Academy." I replied truthfully. "I feel like I'm never doing anything right. No one wants to talk to me, everyone is rude, and the guys think their better than the girls! My inner feminist rages when I hear them talking shit."

Nick furrowed his eyebrows at my words. His handsome face looked lost in thought. I was worried he would agree and tell me to leave for good, but I knew he wasn't that type of guy. He genuinely cared for his friends, even if they weren't that close right?

"Well for one, if you really wanted to leave you would have left a long time ago. And even if you did, I could just teach you a few things you would miss." Nick winked before continuing on. "And you say you have no friends but what about me? Not every guy thinks that females are below them. In fact, their the superior gender."

I smiled in amusement. He sure knew how to charm people. But he was right, I knew where he was getting at.

"So I just have to push through it. Right? Because it could totally be like that anywhere else I go." I said.

"You got it right."

Nick smiled at me softly. I could tell his eyes were studying me; judging by how they moved around every inch of my face. I couldn't help but look down, my hair veiling my face away from him.

I saw him scoot closer to me out of the corner of my eye. I couldn't see him too well, but there was enough space between the strands of hair to do so.

He gently placed his hand underneath my chin so that I looked back up to him. I was surprised at first. Usually that move was a more intimate one. Right now, I was literally just complaining.

"Don't hide from me." He whispered.

"W-What?" I stuttered out.

"Your really beautiful you know that?" He whispered again. His face was inching closer to mine. His minty breath fanned the side of my mouth. I sat there frozen in my spot, unsure of how I should act.

Before I could do or say anything, he placed his lips on my cheek. His soft kiss felt as if it hadn't been there, but it was. It left a weird sensation, making me want more of him.

Well fuck, I'm in love already.
