"I don't know," He says, "Stand your ground."

Noi nods, and I can tell that each of them have their suspicions placed on my head. I take another awkward sip of coffee.

"We have been nothing but honest, Sorceress Juliet." Rhys insists.

Tch. Yeah right. I can sense a lie from a mile away. Though, I'm not very good at lying straight up. Asch turns to Pierce and they share a look. A look that makes me very nervous.

Just as I think I'm doomed, there's a loud thunk on the window from beside our table, causing us to all jump. Our heads snap around to see Ava with her fists against the glass.

"Boo!" She shouts, muffled through the glass.

I place my hand over my heart. Sheesh that really got me.

Ava laughs, and waves goodbye to her dads standing across the street. Then, she proceeds inside.

She approaches the table laughing.

"Did I scare you guys?"

"No!"

"YEs."

Asch and I share a look of stubbornness.

I stick my tongue out at him and he scowls.

"How dare you!!"

I smirk wickedly.


Ava rolls her eyes, "Yeah yeah, be offended later. For now? Scoot over."

I scoot in closer to Lief and let Ava sit down beside me. She goes to grab my coffee, but I snatch it up out of her reach. Giving me a pouty lip, Ava pleads for a sip with big puppy dog eyes.

"No." I say flatly.

"You suck."

"Get your own."

"I don't have my wallet!"

"Do you even have money... period?"

Ava sinks in her spot, "Shut up, Ju."

She sighs, and brushes her hair back from her face.


"So. I'm surprised you'd bring them outside the house after IHoop."

"They wouldn't let me leave without them."

"Ahhh, that makes sense. Still, why bring them to a coffee shop?"

"I wanted coffee. Boys or no boys, I was coming here to get some."

Ava chuckles, "Typical Ju."

I huff.

"Sorceress Ava! Can we get pizza?" Noi asks.

"MMmm, maybe. We can probably order it at the house."

Noi gives her a sparkly eye look.

"You mean it?"

"Sure."

"Thaank youuu."

(Time skip)

We're all on our way back to the house, crossing the street to get around the park, when suddenly there's someone shouting.

"Look out!!"

I turn to see what's going on, but all I see is a frisbee flying my way. Flying fast.

The next thing I know, there's a pain on my head and all I see is black.
