(Clay's POV)

Today was the day I started the Knight's Academy. Merlok gave me a warming gesture; it was true I was nervous for my first day. 

I walked in the blue glass doors and found myself in a giant room. Carpets were laid neatly on the floor. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling. But I was mainly looking at the big statue at the top of the stairs. The stone statue had a knight with a helmet, holding his sword. I want to be like that. Strong. Bold. Brave.

I guess I wasn't looking because I lifted my head to see the knight clearly, a stream of students walked in from the right.

I bumped into a girl with red. I looked at her. "I'm sorry," I said quietly.

"Huh? Oh, that's okay." She replied. The girl looked familiar: and pretty. She was pretty.

I could feel myself blushing as I said, "Where's the first class?" 

"Oh, on your schedule, you have art," She said, "Hey! That's the same as mine!"

I smiled as we walked down the hallway. "What's your name?" I ask her.

"Oh, um, it's Macy," She said looking at the ground.

"In Princess Macy??" I gasp. 

"Yeah." She shrugged. We met Jestro and it was the best day of my life. I had friends. I had a home. It was perfect.

Later did I know I would soon ask her out.
