“Don’t stay out too long. Good night, Frea.” he said, then closed the door. I thought I wasn’t even sure if that alone was why I got this excited. I just wanted more between us… to talk to him more. I guess Wise One felt the same way, because it suddenly started raining over the Academy.
The student dorms are far away. Way farther than Mr. Nils’s house. So, as a small, rain-soaked "student", I decided to go back to his room. Elvis! I know I’m not writing in my journal right now, but talking to you in my head still makes me feel better.
(Knocking sounds.)
Mr. Nils:
Frea, what on earth-
Ah, it’s started raining. Come on in before you get completely drenched, young lady.
You’re a bit underdressed for this weather, you know. Haha… ah, to be young.
I didn’t even know what to say to that. I mean, being young? There are only a few years between us. Whatever… I’ll change that, slowly.
Frea:
Sorry... I didn’t mean to be a bother.
Mr. Nils:
Oh, don’t worry about it, Frea. It’s no trouble at all. But once the rain stops, it’d be best if you leave without anyone noticing. You know what we’re doing goes against the Academy rules.
While saying that, he was making tea for me at his little counter. His hands looked so nice, with long, elegant fingers. His golden hair was glowing under the light.
I hope he noticed me blushing while staring at him…
