Tessa leaned against the column, nonchalantly flipping through a thick sized spellbook. Withdrawn by all the spells that was written in strange cursive ink writing since she had learnt most of them already.

Preoccupied with the things she had just spoken with her targets; Love, how pathetic. She didn’t understand why would they even think she was capable to love, or to be loved.

Idiot, why would you be even nervous when he’s just watching you?, her subconscious scolded. She pursued her lips together and peeked at him. His thin lips curled into a crooked smile with his arms folded while leaning against the column she had just leant.

“Do I amuse you, Mr. Lucas?” She looked away from him and expected him to be flabbergasted.
