Somehow I'd successfully gotten newly appointed principal Bump to let me multitrack potions, bard and beast-keeping.

Eda was happy with her uniform but happily multitracked with me, she did plant magic a lot and beast-keeping because I exclusively got into it for my cute owl-beast.
My grades weren't terrible, but they did drastically change from my grades in the human world. Eda looked over my shoulder in beast-keeping, her eyes in a puppy dog manner. I raise my hand and go to summon an illusion with the gloves' assistance.. but it.. fails?

Her face drops suddenly, a pink setting on her cheeks but quickly disappears.
She raises her lips in a strained smile, one I didn't recognize as strained, "sorry.. I um.. I think the spell failed." She nods in an understanding manner, something in the way her expression shifted make the color of her eyes deepen.

   
Sitting at our usual place on the roof at lunch Eda leans against me, she giggles. I raise an eyebrow to her giddy, flustered entire demeanor. "Um.. you okay?" I ask as I summon up penstagram, she nods almost stiffly. "Could you unbind your spell? P-Please?" I use a hand motion that I would assume unbind any spell.. if I could see it.
She slowly intakes air, and breathes out. I lean in and kiss her, she mumbles a near silent giggle. I pull away and look up to the sky, "I hope you know that your spell was tickling me all day." She says with a smile, I blush and almost immediately apologize.

Waving her hand dismissively she giggles loudly in a loving manner, a wide smile upon her face now.
Casting a magic ring I surge forward and say through a laugh, "abomination seize!" Arms of an abomination shoot out of the ground, trapping her arms. I begin to immediately tickle her sides, she holds her breath then laughs as I smile triumphantly. Snapping my finger the abomination cowers, I hug Eda and giggle. She raises an eyebrow and wraps an arm around me, confused by my sudden clingy manner.

I grab the zipper of her oversized Letterman and wrap the fabric around me, she blushes when I zip it up trapping us in the now obviously VERY oversized jacket. She hugs me and sighs when the bell rings.. screams??, I unzip us and stand up, grabbing her hands to pull her up.
She smiles and accepts my kiss, I run down the stairs and slide into my potions class. Taking my seat, Eda jogs in gasping, completely out of breath. She sits beside me, a slightly exhausted smile touching at her lips.

  
After a messed up potion gone right I leave the class with a face covered in soot, Eda continuously snickers and kisses me, imparting black soot on her lips.
Washing the soot from my face I lean my head back, I turn my head to the walkway before drying my face and walking out.

The day was long, and the classes were longer. My grades were obviously trash but I survived, the best part about it was hanging out with Eda in between classes.

Hexside is fun. It's so quirky and odd.

  
I'd lounged on the bleachers while Eda was practicing with her team, she constantly corrected a newbie player on their form. I was nonetheless entertained.
Continuing on my potions homework I sigh and add eye of nymph to the bubbling, now yellow liquid. Breaking a 'snakesbelly' root in my hand I let the liquid drip into the miniature cauldron. The liquid spins and smokes, making me think it's going to explode before swirling to a richer yellow. Grabbing a vial with a twist top rather than a cork I fill it up, making sure the lid is on firmly. Accidentally placing my bare hand in the cauldron my finger burns, pulling it out quickly I look at it with wide, terrified eyes. The potion..

Melted my finger down to the bone.

I.. should be screaming right now but.

The flesh starts regenerating on my finger, wrapping around the bone before skin and my fingernail appear.

It's a regeneration potion.

Pretty neat spell.

Knocking on the side of the cauldron eyes open up on the rim, the potion disappears inside it. It makes a noise of gratitude before going solid.
Shoving it in my bag I pull out my pencil, writing the name of a teacher on a sheet of black paper my handwriting goes white on the page. Setting the potion vial on the paper the paper snaps around it like a venus flytrap before flying off and burning to ash.

A golden star sticker appears midair, telling me the teacher has received my homework. I set it in a pouch.
Stuffing my finished homework into folders made up of the same black paper I write down names, they all burn up and disappear. A star sticker replacing them, I place them in the pouch with the others.
Yawning I recline back on the bleachers and close my eyes, I hear a sudden bang on the bleachers. "Phelps get that ball! Guys are you serious?? We have to go against Saint Epiderm in just three days! There is no way we're going to win if nobody can catch a ball!"

I sit up, my eyes looking at the team. Eda is irritably pinching the bridge of her nose, "look.. let me show you guys something."
Her body turns to mine, eyes staring up into mine. "Camilla! Come help me with something mi amor!" I nod and jog down the bleachers, my body retracts a foot when she throws the ball at me, readying myself so when it approaches me I grab the ball and toss it back. Eda holds out her hand as if trying to prove a point, I giggle softly. "The girl isn't even on the team, doesn't even participate in my practice at home, yet knows how to prepare herself for an incoming ball."

Sighing deeply she says exhaustedly "you're dismissed.. you're all dismissed. But I'm working you guys extra tomorrow." The team groans loud, Eda scoffs. As they all depart Eda approaches me, cupping my cheek and kissing me before saying with a smile. "Thanks Camilla.. I really appreciate your help though small." I shrug and pull her into a hug, she chuckles.

Picking up my stuff I giggle at Eda, pulling out a sticker from the pouch I put it in the center of the star on her Letterman, my face knit with the happiest smile "you're my star" she blushes and half hides her face, I go on the tips of my toes to kiss her cheek.

Slinging her arm around my shoulder she presses into me and says with a smile "let's go get something to eat hermosa." I nod and blush to her close proximity.

...

It was really nice how close we got in our relationship..
It's been such little time, but so long to me.

  
Booping her spoonful of icecream on my nose she chuckles, I wipe it off irritably with my thumb and lick off the strawberry flavored cream.
"What Camil? I thought you craved for those kinds of romantic gestures.."
I scoff and roll my eyes playfully with a smile, my heart fluttering at her tone.
I tangle my hands together and hide my mouth under them, a blush rolling onto my cheeks.

I look up to the sky, my mind getting fully distracted by a cloud. I seem to completely pause, my eyes following the fluffy white mass while wind blows it away.
Eda's chair groans as she leans over the mini table with her whole body, I jump and stare shyly into her determined, vibrant gold eyes. She smiles softly when my eyes fully focus on reality, her expression saying to me 'there she is. Welcome back to reality.'
I pop the lid back on my styrofoam icecream bowl and take her hand, she pulls me up with a soft, almost unnoticeable chuckle. I make a little 'mmm-' noise out of shyness, causing her to laugh. Setting her letterman on my shoulders she waves her hand towards herself, I walk beside her with a smile, my cheeks hurting from the blush they had.

She winks when I inquire on where we're going, I scrunch my head down to my shoulders to hide my face in the collar of her letterman.
She walks up to a place half lit in lights, a carnival. She waves to an employee when another says the carnival is closed for the night, he waves us in. Leading us to a ferris wheel he sighs when Eda thanks him, giving an 'okay' hand gesture to her.
She pulls me into a compartment and thumbs up the employee, I watch her skin slightly feather up in excitement.
The ride stops as the compartment we're in stops at the way top, she giggles and hops around.

Her body transforms full owl beast in excitement, the beast howling before kind of hooting at the half moon. It purrs happily, kneeling on the seat I grab her face and kiss her cheek.
The beast pauses, feathers getting a red tint to them. She's completely silent.. not even a purr.
Just a blushy, big owl beast... then she lets out a hooty, nervous chuckle and locks eyes with me. I press my hand to her lips when she leans forward, my face showing a smirky, mischievous expression. My expression makes it quite clear that I'm not willing to kiss sort of feathered lips yet, she jumps slightly in realization before accepting the elixir from me. I squeak a little yelp when she scoots towards me, the compartment tilting slightly.

I mumble a small noise as she kisses me, my eyes shutting instantly closed.
Feel myself adjust as she brings herself further forward, the metal creaking to the adjustment.
We chuckle a moment before the ferris wheel jolts back to life, scaring the hell out of the both of us.

  
The night was calm, Eda was in her room passed out, I was in a dream. Colors swirled around me before molding into a dark room, I looked around with uncertainty.
There was several doors, all different colors. I approached the brightest door which was a yellow, but as soon as I touched the doorknob I was hit with a feeling of dread. I backed up and reassessed the room, my eyes landing on a black door.

I felt drawn to it, I opened it without hesitancy and walked in, the room forming to a park. My stomach dropped, I looked up at the highschool aged figure and swallowed down my heart, my eyes looked around for a door.
Once I found one I ran to it, slamming the door closed.. I was NOT going to remember him.
Then it was Eda in a room, her body went completely owl beast but no matter how hard I tried she wouldn't go back, her beast kept writhing in agony and tears spilt down her cheeks. My body woke up with a sob like gasp, I took no time making my way to her room.

I stood in the doorway, sniffing and rubbing my eyes while looking at her sleep peacefully.
Just as I was about to go back to bed she sits up slightly, her eyes opening to look at me. I look at the floor. Waving me forward I shut the door behind myself, I sit at the farthest edge of her bed, not wanting to crowd her. She scoots to be right beside me, pulling me into a hug.

"Nightmare?" I nod, keeping my lips closed since I wasn't ready to explain the nightmare.
She picks up that action, hugging me closer. I purse my lips, my eyes shutting closed tight. I felt weak, my mind was numb, no matter how hard she hugged me I felt terrified because of the nightmare. I turned my body so I could bury my face in her shoulder, my breath settling.

Eda watched her girlfriend fall asleep in a difficult manner, the girl was very shaken up by whatever nightmare she had. Eda no doubt was worried, seeing as Camilla always talked to her about the problems that scared her.
And to see her in her doorway.. shaking and sobbing, her hands trembling as she wiped saltwater tears away. Eda couldn't help but feel protective in this moment, not wanting anything or anyone to touch her. It was up to the point where she almost let her beast loose on her mother that coming morning, the woman stared at her daughter with pure shock. Then at the feathers sprouting on her pale skin, Camilla was anxious to get Eda calm, tears pricking at her eyelids when Eda verbally nipped at her mom.
The orange haired girl seemed to freeze in time, reversing before tending to her girlfriend.

The two of them went to Hexside quickly after, one with an anxious mindset and the other with a worried mindset. Eda swiftly got the truth of her anxiety out of Camilla underneath the bleachers, letting the girl rest on her and cry till she'd let all the bottled up emotions out. Camilla felt a large amount of better after telling Eda about the dream, and Eda felt somehow closer to her girlfriend, smiling and bringing her into a loving hug.
The two of them spent the school hours as close as PDA guidelines acceptable, then sat at the market, passing snails each time someone they thought cute passed. Basic people watching. They both giggled when they simultaneously passed a snail because of the same second class witch, then had a thorough conversation on why they thought they were attractive.

The two of them were having quite an enjoyable time acting like generic teenagers, Eda would kiss Camilla's forehead each time she said something mildly endearing.
To Eda.. Camilla was more than her whole world, she was her other realm, she was every one of her alternative universes. Camilla felt lucky to know Eda, she often wondered how the events lined up. And she was internally glad she accidentally broke her leg that one morning, yes, somewhere in the future she would have most likely met Eda if she hadn't.. but, would it really have the same effect as it does now? One could doubt they'd fall in love like they did currently, being older and Camilla most likely straight since meeting Eda revealed that her parents didn't mind her being gay. For christ sakes it's 1998, being gay ought to be normal by now.

The sudden thought made Camilla curious "how long has gay been socially acceptable in the Boiling Isles?" The girl asked curiously, Eda looked at her with loving, wondering eyes, giving her girlfriend a kiss on the forehead for just asking that adorably silly question. "For a very, very long time. Since we have magic, making a child is as easy as waving our finger in a circle. So nobody truly minded same sex romantic relationships, since either way continuing a family branch was as the term goes 'easy as pie.' "

Camilla sighs almost in pure shock, but giggles when Eda asks 'why do you ask?', replying "just comparing our worlds."
