"HOLY CRAP" 

My whole life, just uprooted. I can't believe this. 

I hate my bad luck! 

Jasper predicted right and because of that I won't see anyone I know until winter break. Which was in five months! 

I should have prayed to Veers more that I wouldn't get picked, I should of . . . No use in thinking back now. Though now that I think about it maybe I shouldn't have prayed as much to Veers 'cause that might be the reason she picked me. 

Ugh, being claimed by the most powerful god and having to leave everything you know behind because you prayed too much and have the worst luck is so annoying. Actually annoying doesn't even begin to describe the frustration and sadness I felt right now.

"Alina, you may leave now" Thaddeus said.

 I look up. 

He looks emotionless, blank, unexpressive but above all he looks like he doesn't care! He doesn't care that his last words have impacted the rest of my life. 

That I won't be seeing any of my friends or family for months, that any plans for university or college are now just out the window. Any plans for the future are now saying goodbye Alina, nice knowing you. 

My anger builds and I lash out. 

I don't get angry very easily but when I do its bad, like really bad.

 My face forms into an unrecognizable scowl of anger and distain. 

"HOW COULD YOU" I shout! 

I march towards him. "You, you just uprooted my entire life and all you can say for it is you may leave now" I say the last part in a petty voice 

"You don't care!" I try and blink back tears. 

Thaddeus has the right to look a guilty at least. "Look I'm sorry for your loss but-" 

"YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK TO ME THAT WAY" I'm screaming now. 

I clench my fists. My knuckles are completely white. 

Thaddeus raises his hands in defeat. "I really am sorry but I am just obeying the will of Veers" 

That sentence becomes my mantra for the next few seconds. He's just obeying the will of Veers. It's not his fault.  He's just obeying the will of Veers. It's not his fault. I repeat that over and over in my head, take deep breaths in and out all the while. Slowly my fists unclench and my heartbeat returned to normal. 

I turn to face Thaddeus again and this time its shame showing on my face instead of anger. "I'm sorry" I mutter mutely. 

Thaddeus obviously hears me but chooses to take my apology in stride. "I'm sorry I couldn't hear you" Thaddeus says grinning. I sigh, I guess this is what I deserve. "I'm sorry" I say louder this time.

 "Ah there's the response I was looking for" 

I continue to stare at the floor. 

"Now on with the conversation we were having before your ugh outburst lets call it." 

I nod again.

 "When you leave go consult Mr. Colyron. He will tell you everything you need to know." 

I nod in acknowledgment again. Oh why do I have anger issues. 

For a moment everything is silent before Thaddeus points to the door. 

Right, I'm supposed to leave now. I walk to the door, shoving it a bit.

 All I want to do is lie down in my bed at home and sleep for the next five days. 

When I step outside I realize Mom is not here. Where is she? She said that she would wait for me! 

I scan the hallway to see if there is any trace of her. Nothing. 

The only person here is a boy waiting down the hallway. He has artfully windblown brown hair. He has warm brown eyes with flecks of gold in them. I walk over to him. 

"Hey," I said "umm my mom was supposed to be here but she's not here. . . obviously" I stuttered. 

The guy smiled at me. My heart fluttered.

Oh jeez this is going to sound so cheesy but his smile, oh wow. 

It's like my entire life has been dark and filled with clouds and now that smile brought the sun out. That smile made me want to jump for joy like the fangirl I am. Butterflies filled my abdomen. 

His smile lit up his entire face, turning hard lines into inviting curves and making his eyes shine with life.

"Hi, I'm Levi" Levi said. Then he smiled his undeniable sweet smile.

The next thing that happened was probably the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me. A sound came out of my mouth. Now you might be thinking how is a sound embarrassing? Well my friends the sound that came out of my mouth sounded like a cross between an overenthusiastic giggle, a burp and a gasp. 

Oh. My. God.

 Any chance of me being friends with this fallen angel has now been extinguished. 

My face burst into flames, quickly turning crimson. 

Levi burst into laughter. I frowned at him. I mean I know I was pathetic but not that pathetic. 

"You really have a destiny becoming a singer" Levi said sarcastically after his fit of laughter was done. I harrumphed. 

This day was bad enough but now a cute boy laughing at me, just come on luck, come on. 

Levi smirked deviously. I stuck my tongue out at him.

When I didn't respond Levi decided to take matters into his own hands. "What's your name?" He asked me.

 "Alina" I said in resignation. Levi smiled his heartwarming smile again. "Okay Alina" He said then he became silent. The butterflies in my stomach got a giant shot of espresso and were now beating wildly.

After a few seconds he finally burst out. "You're really short" 

I gave him a look of pure annoyance. 

"You're shorter than a chicken nugget" He said than snickered at his own joke. 

"You're the only one laughing" I say realistically. Levi just laughed even more. I glared at him until he finished his laughing spree. 

"Anyway" I said "Do you know where my mom went?" 

"She's the one with short brown hair, right?" Levi inquired. 

"Yes"

 "Okay then. She went that way, lil' chicken nugget" 

My eyebrows raise. Levi is cute, yes, well, really cute but his personality just, ugh makes me want to punch him sometimes.  I glare daggers into his eyes. 

"Whatever" I said. 

I started to march away when Levi said something that made me freeze. "You know lil' chicken nugget, you're cute when you're angry"  

Oh Veers just let me climb into a hole and fangirl about how cute Levi is. 

I unfreeze and walk away, though what he just said is still very present in my mind.
