Callie began singing and the corner of Kace’s mouth lifted up into an amused grin. He crossed his arms and followed the motion with a low whistle from his lips. “My my my, no wonder your show’s been sold out everywhere-” Kace flinched when he heard a smack against the classroom window. He furrowed his brows and turned his head to the side curiously only to see some dumb bird had rammed itself into it. He shrugged and didn’t pay it anymore attention. (Ya see where I’m going with this 
)
Her eyes met his and Kace noted something cautious within them. Maybe not caution but perhaps…nervousness? The girl had guys licking her feet. He wondered what she could possibly be nervous about. But then again, he was playing a completely different character than from the day before. “Rumor has it that this school has a pretty tall waterfall not far from here.” It felt good to be back in the playing field, and he was getting riskier by the second. He allowed her to see his playful grin before he leaned in even closer and lifted his brows a couple times playfully before flicking his head over at her. “Class starts in a bit. Whoever jumps off that waterfall and makes it back here first…wins.” He stood back up straight again and shrugged nonchalantly. “Whoever wins gets to make the person do something. How 'bout it Blondie? Or are you too Charming to play such games?”

She laughed against a closed mouth as he pulled the bag of chips away and began stuffing his mouth again.
“What can I say?” She stated as she crossed her legs. “I do prefer a more energizing breakfast in the morning,”
He seemed disgusted at the idea which only made Arissa’s lips twitched into an amused smile.
Adonis would no doubt chastise her for getting distracted from finding lover boy, but a little play time couldn’t hurt.
“What?” She stated, standing up from her seat and making her way over. “Is the idea of two people locking lips that sickening?” She made it to the front of his desk and pushed his feet aside to the floor, allowing herself to take the spot where they had been instead. “Or are you just upset no one woke up early enough to give you a true loves kiss to start the day?” She said the last sentence in a high-pitched voice, batting her lashes mockingly before placing her palms on the desk and leaning forward with a lazy smirk. “Would you like me to fix that for you darling?”
She was interrupted when a shy and timid girl was pushed forward by two of her friends towards their desks. Arissa gave a very annoyed look as the girl held out a heart filled with…chocolates?
“I-uh…I uhm…”
Arissa looked from her to the boy and impatiently tapped her fingernail against the desk.
“I don’t know if you remember me but I uhm…We had potions class together last year and I uh-”
Arissa let out a very audible sigh and the girl shut her mouth immediately. She pushed herself away from the desk and rolled her eyes as she began walking back to the desk she had been at.
“Amius, wo-would you like to watch the fireflies with me tonight?”
Arissa stopped in her tracks at the name.
Amius.
“Bingo,” She muttered under her breath, taking her seat. She definitely wanted to observe the scene before she interrupted.

Anyone else would have been beguiled or softened from anger at the sweet and seemingly innocent little boy in front of Thea. Except, of course, for Thea. She’d dealt with much too many snakes and liars and cheats of all shapes and sizes to really care about the charade he was putting up. Yet she was aware that she had to be more…kind. Blegh. The words were distasteful to her mind. She was about to hand the book back and walk away until he started giggling. And giggling. And giggling.
“It was Vivian.”
Thea furrowed her brows and looked at the still-standing plant next to him.
“Oh cut the crap-”
before she could finish her statement, she let out a startled gasp as the leaves from the plant smacked her across the cheek.
Theadosia was always trained to maintain her composure in public and to calm her impulsive and rash decisions. But after the phone call she’d just had and the emotions already stirring when she entered this stupid school…well. She could allow he reputation to be placed on the sacrificial altar just this once.
“Seriously?” She seethed, dropping the book right next to him with a loud thud. “Seriously?”
Her next action was a tad bit excessive, but she could care less how and with what she took her frustrations out on at this point. She began grabbing at the plants leaves and plucking them off as if she were preparing a chicken to be eaten. “You-are-just-a-little-boy-” She stated in between grabbing tufts. “I’m the friggin’ queen of Crete. Is a little respect and decency too much to ask for?!” She stood there with a handful of leaves in her palms. She paused, eyes blinking when she realized just how stupidly far she’d gone over a boy playing simple gaming tricks. Her mechanical hand whirred as she willed it to unclench and she cleared her throat as she attempted to stick the leaves back onto the plant like an innocent alien who’d never dealt with green things that grew from the ground before.
“Who are you anyway?” She asked, finally giving up and fixing her mess and sweeping the leaves as close as she could to the back of the pot. “Shouldn’t you be headed to-I don’t know- a class for babies or something?” Her last comment wasn’t meant to be offensive. She was genuinely curious why the school allowed such young students inside their walls.
