(Y/N)'s Pov

I followed Laurence to his house and stood in awe in front of the gate. My eyes were wide and my mouth dropped open. "This....you live here?" I asked astonished.

Laurence chuckled lightly and gave a small nod. "Yeah, but I mostly stay in the academy dorms."

"The academy had dorms? I had no idea." I whispered to myself.

Laurence unlocked the gate and I followed him inside. We went up the front steps and Laurence opened the front door for me, which were huge doors.

"Make yourself at home. Do you want any juice?" Laurence asked.

"Apple or orange juice please." I said as I looked around the large house.

The ceiling was so high up and there were giant golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. As you walked into the house there was a large staircase that I guess lead up to Laurence's room and probably all the other rooms. I wonder how Laurence decorates his room?

I continued to look around when Laurence came out of a pair of large doors holding a small tray with some chips and juice. For being a rich boy he dresses and eats food like a commoner. I laughed quietly to myself a Laurence tilted his head slightly like a puppy.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

I shook my head. I should just keep this to myself. It may be fun to tease him later about it. "It's nothing."

"Well, whatever. Let's go."

I followed Laurence up the stairs and walked down the hall (which felt like a lifetime) and soon reached a door with a "Keep Out" sign on it.

"Keep out? Is this your room?" I asked suspiciously.

Laurence nodded and opened the door revealing a room that looked like a normal teenage boys room. He had a desk and computer in one corner, a bookshelf, and just a normal single bed.

"Have a seat." Laurence said and I sat on the edge of his bed.

Laurence pulled a swiveling chair from his desk and sat facing towards me. No fair....I want a swiveling chair.

Laurence took a deep breath and looked into my eyes. "Before I tell you anything, you have to promise me you will not tell a single soul."

I nodded and raised my pinky finger. "Pinky promise."

Laurence couldn't hide his smile and he laid his head into his arms.

"Are you a pre-schooler or something?" Laurence laughed slightly.

"I may look older but deep inside my heart I am still a child." I joked.

Laurence then gave me a serious look once again and the air felt heavy....

"I won't tell a single person, animal, alien,...and not even Katelyn."

Laurence ran his hand through his hair trying to hide his laughter but he looked like he was having a hard time composing himself.

"Okay, seriously now......I am what people call a....Shadow Knight."
