When I got to the library, all of my friends were there. "Hey, guys, have you found anything?"
Mags spoke up, "Professor Morpheus said that a Lirio root is normally found in giant forests and that we don't have any in the castle right now."
Chloe said, "Professor Siren said that we just ran out of Volcanic Ash, and the only place you could find it is obviously at the base of a Volcano, but at least there is one in the next city over. Too bad this city is more like a state and is pretty huge."
I sighed, "The only close forest would be a long way away, and not all of us have wings, so it would take that much longer, and Chloe is right, the Volcano is far away too, but if we wanna get this potion made, we have to go to great lengths. Did any of the Professors say when we will get our next shipment?"
They shook their heads. I sat down at the table where the books were laid out and read through the ingredients.
I groaned, "You guys, I'm so stupid. I was just over by the beach when I was finished giving the angels a tour, and it doesn't say what kind of seashell so I can fly over there real quick and come right back." they all nodded their agreement so I quickly left the room to fly over to the beach.
Soon we figured out most of how to make the potion because it's not like other potions we've ever done. And for right now, we only have seashells and bottled moonlight for a couple of days. The announcements blared on a broken P.A. system, and Mr Bonecrusher's voice rang through the library and the whole school.
"Scarlett Storm, report to my office immediately!" I growled, irritated.
I got up from my spot on the library couch and slammed the door behind me, not bothering to say anything to my friends. When I got to his office, I opened the door without knocking and sat down heavily in the chair across from him.
"What do you want?" He glared at me, "You know very well why you're here." I rolled my eyes and suffered through the detention.
The next day was normal; we couldn't do anything about the potion at the moment, so we acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Christopher kept nagging at all of us, trying to see if we had anything to hide, but he found nothing.
At lunch, Ezra came up to my table. "Is this seat taken?" I slowly shook my head. He sat down and started eating.
"Soooo, what are some jobs you guys have after you're done with school? I can't imagine they'd be the same as what we have as angels." I was taking a bite of food as he said this, and when he was talking, I spit it out,
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that… We have messengers, writers, and demons who consume human madness."
Ezra looked at me, confused, "What do the writers do? Do they answer letters from humans?" I nodded, "You're catching on quick, Ezra."
He smiled a little and continued eating. My friends stared at me like I had lost my mind in Neverland. Juniper was closest to me, so she whispered in my ear, "What are you doing, Scarlett? Are you trying to get us or someone else in trouble?"
I smacked her knee, "I'm not doing anything. I'm giving him what he wants since that's what the principal wants."
After lunch, Levi, Chloe, Juniper, and I left our trays at the table for the lunch people to take them. Everyone else took their trays to the window by the garbage, and if someone thinks I'm gonna get anywhere near those, then they're crazy. I'm not gonna ruin my outfit by going over there. The lunch people can get the trays themselves, and if they have a problem with it, they can talk to me. I walked out of the cafeteria when I felt someone behind me. I turned around fast to see who it was and caught them off guard. I see Ezra's handsome face in front of me, and I'm slightly surprised.
I fixed my face, "What are you doing?" He scratched the back of his neck, "Well, you never answered me about hanging out, so I was gonna just ask you, are you free this afternoon?"
I sighed, kind of irritated but also slightly charmed. "No, I'm not busy, where do you wanna go?"
He took a deep breath, "Well, probably in a public area so you can be more comfortable, sooo, the library?" I nodded, amused by his nervousness.
