Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: James

Before Em stood a tall boy with hazel brown hair, dazelingly forest green eyes and a face that looked like it was scuiltped by God himself. Em faced turned red like a tomato. That was until …

"Oh look, a newbie, quite the clumsy too." He smirked.

A flame ignited inside her. Her first impression of him had shattered.

"At least I'm not a brat who purposely bumps into people." Em said, standing and returning his smirk. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to term orrientation."

"Ah, then allow me to be your escort." The boy said, holding out his hand. "I'm James, starting my second term at the academy. Pleased to make your aquaintence."

"Then I suppose your feelings aren't reciprocated."

"Oh, then what a shame. You should get to class though." Said James.

"Only is someone wasn't blocking my way." Em said. And with that she turned away from the "brat" and walked off.

As Em walk into class, she saw something or someone that greatly irritated her. James sat in the front and the only seat left was next to him. Urghhhh. Why did life have to be so unfair. And that smirk of his! If the teacher wasn't there, she would have punched hime until he was within an inch of his life. "Ah, you're Emily is that correct?" A young woman with deep plum hair and soft cocoa brown eyes asked.

"Y… yes madam." Em stammered.

"Then you will have the seat next to James."

As Em sat down, she glared at James. "You did this on purpose didn't you, to mock me."

"I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say, my lady."

"Oh didn't you hear, my name is Emily, Emily Maris. Or are you deaf, James. And I don't particularly like stupid nicknames." Em cuttingly replied.

Just as James was about to retort, the teacher started speaking.

"Guess I have the last word then." Em whispered smugly in his ear.

"Now that we're gathered I expect you to learn well in your classes. Here are schedules, you will se your name on them so take yours. In this box are maps of the academy. If you seek anymore information, the information center is at the reception area. You will find all your dormitories in the west wing there are directions in the map to help you. It is magic so your position will apear on the map as the dot." The teacher explained.

"Well, I guess we'll be seeing each other again, Emily Maris." Smirked James and before Em could the take the life out of him, he turned away and walked down the hall.
