Reflections Of A Dream To Find Her Way

Chapter Six

My next class came and went, I opted to take Foreign Language as an elective. It wasn't my best subject but I opted to learn the Pallas language. Pallas was an ancient language first created by people of the same name. The Pallas are a race of cat-like people that live on the northern continent. When I'm older I plan to study abroad in the northern region, understanding the Pallas language was mandatory for what I've tasked myself with.

"Thank god that's over." I said as I slumped down in my seat. Today's lesson was rough, we were learning the original dialect of the Pallas people and there was so much to memorize. "You did well Ami." A boy spoke to me. Sitting next to me was a emerald-haired boy. "Thanks Nathan, you weren't so bad yourself." Nathan was another classmate that I've known since grade school, when we were kids he revealed he had feelings for me, but I turned him down. Even though I broke his heart he has always been the kindest boy around me.

"I can't believe I messed up the dialect and accidently swore at Mr. Kei instead." I said while I placed my textbook into my backpack. "That was hilarious, I've never seen his face turn so red before." Nathan said happily. I got a slight chuckle out of the entire situation even if it was my own slip up. "So Ami, you ever gotten around to joining a club yet?" he asked. "The fencing club has been asking me if you were interested."

I smiled happily knowing that I was sought after by Nathan's fencing club, I however had no interest in joining.

"Sorry but I'll have to decline once again, I get enough sword fighting from my mom, I don't need to deal with it any more than I already do."

Nathan hung his head in defeat, he had been trying for weeks to get me to join the fencing club. For me however I would rather cuddle up in a nice blanket and read a book than hold a sword.

"So what are your plans for this evening?" he asked, I could see how curious he was just to hear about me. "I plan on going to the park with Misty, we're going to read a book together."

"Misty... you mean Misty Crosse?" he said, I could see the sparkles in his eyes. Misty was quite popular with all the boys, even those that liked me.

"Yeah that's her." I said. "Oh man you're so lucky you get to spend time with her." he said while he began to rummage through his backpack. My next class would begin soon so I stood to my feet and tossed my pack over my shoulder.

"What's with you boys and Misty anyways? She's just a shy girl who wants to be left alone." I said. Nathan soon stood from his desk as well. "She's got such a wonderful personality."

Yeah, two big personalities that every boy was interested in, I could see right through him just like I could see through everyone else.

"Anyways, I'm gonna get going." I said. "Hold on Ami, there was something I wanted to ask you."

I placed my hand on my hip and sighed.

"I've told you every day since grade school Nathan that I don't want to date you." I said. He shook his head before chuckling.

"No not that, a couple of us are gonna go to the Leene Festival this weekend, I was curious if you'd be interested in coming along. It would be fun."

It had been quite a few years since I attended the festival in Leene, normally I would always go with my parents, but lately they've been so busy working they haven't had any time for such things.

"You can even bring Misty, Jackie Lynn and Rudy with you. What do you say?" he asked. I could see the excitement in his eyes. "I dunno, I'd have to ask them, I don't want to make plans if they have other plans already." I replied. He nodded his head. "I understand, I'll touch base with you on this tomorrow and you can give me your answer then?" he asked. I smiled happily and gave him a thumbs-up. He had already taken much of my time and the bell had just rang, I was going to be late for my final class of the day.

"Shit.. sorry Nathan I got to get going." I said quickly, I waved as I turned away from him, I sprinted down the hallway as fast as I could, I could see other students doing the same, I hurried to my class, but I knew I was going to be late. Mrs.Gardenia was going to have my butt if I was late again.
