The next morning Sophie got extra special ready. Today they- as in her and her friends- were going to open their matches together.

She arrived at Everglen extra early, hoping she could have a moment with Fitz buttttt no.

" Sophie! You're here early!" Biana yelled excitedly. Sophie sucked in a deep breath. " Hey Biana. Where's Fitz?"

" Oooh a Fitzy moment?" Biana crowed. 

Sophie blushed. " N-no there's just something I need to tell him."

" Really?" Biana batted her eyelashes at Sophie. 

Sophie turned away from her, to face Keefe.

" Hey Foster," He smiled. " Guess I'm not the only one here early."

Sophie pushed past him and Biana, running for the house. She flung open the door, only to run into..................................Fitz.

" Woah, what's wrong Sophie?" He caught her by the shoulders.

Sophie blushed. Her feeling's were stronger than ever now.

" I n-needed to talk to you," She murmered quietly. 

He grabbed her by the elbow. " Can we later? I mean-" He bit his lip when Sophie looked downward. " I mean we are going to open are matches soon and-" he trailed off.

" It's fine," Sophie said hurridly. And then-he did something surprising. He grabbed her by both of her shoulders and pulled her into a hug. 

Sophie leaned her head on his shoulder, in time for all their friends to come in and see the gesture.

" Fitzy snuggle time!" Keefe smirked.

Sophie frowned and smirked at him.

" Leave us alone, Keefe," Fitz told him sharply.

Keefe's smile dissapeared. " Woah, Fitz, thought you liked my jokes."

Fitz sighed. " Nevermind, let's just go open our matches."

The friends trailed up to Fitz's room and sat down in a circle.

" So who's going first?" Sophie asked.

The all looked at each other, then Biana finally spoke. " I nominate Fitz."The others nodded, while Fitz blushed and protested, " Biana why don't you go-"

" Nope." She crossed her arms.

Fitz sighed and ripped the seal apart, looked at the long list of matches. " So where do I begin?" He asked.

" Who's your first match?" Dex asked.

Fitz blushed. "Ok.....so my first match is........"
