"I know what you are thinking" Someone said behind me.
"NOAH where have you been this whole time" I said grabbing him.
"That's none of your business so keep your nose out of it" He said visibly irrititated.
"Fine man, no need to get rude" I said.
"Sorry just had a lot on my mind" He said apologizing.
"Any way this festival can only be attended by nobles and workshop members so no need to get worked up" He said assuring me.
"How do you know that I was a Weaker one" I asked him intrigued.
"I come from a prestigious family of course I know." He said rolling his eyes.
"Anyways why are you here." I asked.
"Listen to me closely, due to you being a weaker one I can't be on your team, so if I am not able to come on the last day of indivisual training just kick me out of your team, I will probably be on an opponent team so keep a backup just in case." He said.
"Why, Who is the one threatening you." I asked concerned.
"Sorry, got to go man." he said, keeping a note in my pocket.
Shit why is this happening to me all of a sudden, I am sure the person behind is that bastard Joel, I need to get rid of him somehow. Man this is a lot harder than I excepted. Well let's hope for the best for the time being, and just think about what to do tomorrow. I am going to get the second part of manual tomorrow and then there is date at the festival.
"Zack, Just go with the don't be so stressed about things that haven't happened yet. Lillian said materializing beside me
"We need to get you clothes, and I thought you weren't going to materialize in public" I said giving her my overcoat.
"Well you were procrastinating and that wont be good for you so I came"
Then we went to a shop where they sell clothes for ladies, I had the monthly budget given to me for spending as the price of my clothes was paid by Elaine.
"Hey isn't that Zack" Ava Said to Elaine.
"Where, what is he doing here" She said.
"Maybe shopping for you to give you a gift." Ava said nudging Elaine a little.
"Let's see what he is doing." Elaine said.
"Let's just go" Ava said.
"Fine but I will ask him tomorrow at the festival" Elaine said pouting.
"Okay."
The Next Day I met Elaine at her room,
"Are you ready, your highness" I asked Elaine.
"Yup" She said coming out, "What is it" she said as I stared at her.
"You look lovely, beautiful" she was wearing a backless black dress with a long traditional gown.
"You too" she said looking at me in a black blazer.
"Thank you, so where do you wanna go first" I asked her, and realized my mistake.
"I didn't make any plans in particular so where you are going just take me or are you saying that you didn't plan anything" She said probably realizing my mistake.
"N-no I did plan something lets go" I said clumsily.
Well we enjoyed the festival and then went to the Big wheel.
"Um Elaine I wanted to ask you ask you something" I said when we were on the highest point on the wheel.
"Yeah what is it" She said.
"Why didn't you go to your family for the festival" I asked her.
"It's just that I don't fit well in royalty, actually I am not on talking terms with my older sister so I don't like going to the palace" She said looking a little sad.
"Oh, Sorry if I asked a personal question" I said.
"No problem, not many people are as cool as you are while talking to me as you are because I am a princess" She said smiling, my heart skipped a beat.
"Really I see you as my personal assistant" I said.
"You are going to die at my hands for sure" and we laughed a while and then she led me to a clearing in the forest.
"Um…. First you do it Elaine I will go second" I said.
"Fine, First phase transformation, come before me the wings of dawn" she said and beautiful wing of light came out, But it was kind of anti-climactic for me.
"Only this much" I said.
"Well this is the first phase and there are three phases in total and I can show you only this much"
"Fine then my turn, Summon the second dragon, Lillian" and there she was, Lillian with her majestic blue scales.
"Wow, your dragon is much more good looking then you are" Elaine said touching her.
"Yeah okay, and stand back, I am going to ask her to go back" I said as I prepared to send her back.
"Wait please let me ride her" She said looking at me.
"Really, she only listens to me" i said a little scared of what Lillian might do next.
"So you can be her rider I will just tag along like a girlfriend" She said smiling.
"Fine just wait a minute" I said exasperated.
"Lillian can you give us a ride?" I asked her in my mind.
"Sure why not" she answered.
"What if I hadn't asked you. " i asked a little concerned.
"I would have killed you right here" she said making a smug face.
"Let's go Elaine" I said.
"Uh…. Yeah" she said.
Then I got on Lillian's back and helped Elaine up. The night was beautiful today but when we were among the clouds the scenery was even beautiful. Suddenly I felt the hands of Elaine on my waist and then she came near to me and said,
"Thank you Zack, for this."
I felt something this time there was a feeling which I didn't recognize and then we landed. After I had Sent Lillian back we were alone. Before I could even say something she kissed me and ran away.
The next day when I woke up and went to the cafeteria Ava was staring at me like I was ghost.
"You kissed her!!!!!" This is the most excited I have ever seen Ava in the past one month.
"Let's keep to ourselves, and since when did you two became so close to share such incidents."
"That is not important. Tell me everything now."
"No sorry, ask her please. I have something Important to tell you"
"I know….. about Noah right?"
"How do you …. Oh right the Psych thing, so what do we do?"
"Well don't worry about that, I can handle that"
"Oh gosh, I was worried for a Moment"
"So now tell me what happened" with a evil look on her face.
"Not happening, ask her."
"Ask her what Zack?" and Elaine appeared behind me.
"Oh hey Elaine!" she came and sat down beside me, and held my hand.
"Hey what are you doing?" I asked her.
"Don't be so shy or is it that you kissed a girl and ditched her." She said mockingly.
"Bad manners, Zack" said Ava laughing her mind out.
"Hey shut up, don't make it harder than it already is"
"Oh, Really" Elaine said.
"I didn't mean it that way Elaine" she was really looking forward to killing me today.
"How did you mean it"
"Sorry okay, now today after classes meet me in my room, I need to talk to you"
"Oh Zack you are turning out to be a bad boy."Ava said making a cow roll expression.
"Just shut up Ava" I replied to her sly remarks.
"Any ways I will come to your room" Elaine said.
"Thanks Elaine, all the best for the class." She got up and turned towards me and kissed me "I love you" and went away.
"Bye Zack". Ava said getting up.
"Bye Ava".
