Keefe pov.

Keefe strode toward Foxfire and met up with Sophie.

"Hey Foster!" He waved.

Sophie returned the gesture smiling. "Are you doing anything today?" She asked nervously.

His heart skipped a few beats. Sophie Foster was going to ask him out in a date! He frowned. No that wasn't right.

"And I wasn't really sure if that'd be okay. " Sophie finished.
Keefe blinked. He had totally spaced out and hadn't heard what she said.

"What?"

" I knew it was stupid. " mumbled Sophie. "Well I've got to get to class. Bye!" She ran off.

What did she ask me? Pondered Keefe. He shrugged it off. Whatever it was it didn't really matter now.

Sophie pov.

Ugh. Why did she ask him that?  Sophie perked up as she saw Fitz coming her way.

"Hi Fitz."

" Hey. " He flashed one of his movie star smiles. Sophie's heart did a back flip. She frowned. She didn't like Fitz. At least she thought she didn't like him.

"So, are you doing anything today?"

"Well I have to work on Team Valiant, figure out how to defeat the Neverseen, do school, and figure out what else Mr. Forkle is hiding from me." She responded to his query.

Fitz blew out a breath. "Well, if you ever want to come over, the doors always open." (A/n that's kinda cringy lol)

Sophie smiled. "Thanks."

" Anytime. "

Sophie looked at the time. Holy cow she was late! She rushed to her session. Thankfully it was her History session with her favorite teacher who let tardiness slide.

Sophie ran in. "sorry I'm late." She said out of breath.

"Try to make better time tomorrow. " she replied nicely. (Is nicely a word?)

Sophie tried to pay attention to the lecture, but her thoughts drifted to Keefe. Did Lady Gisela actually fail? She excelled in everything. And that included defeating Sophie and her friends. Maybe she wanted everyone to think she failed, then trigger something else, like a Mesmer!

Sophie jolted at this new revelation. But then, maybe she was wrong.

"Miss Foster. Miss Foster!" Her mentor was snapping her fingers trying to get Sophie's attention.

She blushed. "I'm sorry."

Lady Datoy frowned, then said kindly -with a sharp glance -"Try not to let it happen again. "

Sophie nodded meekly, then dove her head into her books.

                                                    ****

Sophie set down her books with a bang and laid her head down on her desk. She was exhausted.

"Sophie! Come here please." Edaline said from the bottom of the stairs.

Sophie lifted her head wearily and forced herself to get up. "What is it?" She asked.

" Keefe's here. " Edaline smiled.

Sophie almost groaned. She wasn't in the mood for any jokes. Just in the mood for sleep.

"Hi Keefe."

" Heya Foster. " he fanned in front of him. "Woah, you're tired."

" ya think? " she was surprised by her sharp retort.

"Ya I do think." Keefe retorted back.

She bit back a reply. Last thing she wanted was Keefe mad at her.
"Well I am tired so . . ." She trailed off.

" I can leave. " Keefe offered.

Sophie grimaced. "Sure."

"See ya."

"Bye."

And Keefe left.

Sophie turned and tiredly trudged up the stairs to her room.
"Forget homework." She grumbled. She flopped on to her bed ready to take a nap. But she wasn't prepared for the horrifying dreams that followed.

She twisted and turned, trying to escape them, but to no avail.
She woke up sweaty, pale, and flushed. She shuddered as she recollected the nightmares.

Sophie turned her head to look at her school books and groaned remembering something. Not only had she forgotten to do her homework, but she had forgotten to check in with Team Valiant.
She soon had her homework finished, and she went on to Team Valiant. After she completed that, she laid back down on her bed, and fell back to sleep.

Thx for reading!!! Sry I haven't updated this in like what, four days? I'm homeschool, and I didn't have anything to do so I started school early. I hope I can get the next chapter done on time!
