I woke up the next morning curled against someone in the grass. At first, I thought it was Nashoma, and I was so happy that he was back. But then I realized my hand was tangled up in hair, not fur, and that Nashoma didn’t have boobs.

I jolted awake with a start and skidded backward. Sophia had been curled up against me for ancestors knew how long. She was still asleep, breathing lightly with a smile on her face.

My body was pretty warm instead of the cool, usual Toaqua temperature it rested at, which meant I’d had my arms around her for quite some time now— possibly hours.

We’d literally picked opposite ends of the clearing to sleep on! How did we end up spooning randomly in our sleep? I looked around and saw Esis bathing in the pool, washing his fur with the water. He gave me a devious smile as he cleaned his fat cheeks.

He probably rolled us together in our sleep or something. He didn’t look strong enough to do that, but I wouldn’t put it past him.

I skirted away from her before she woke up. My movements didn’t wake her, and I didn’t want to touch her again to shake her awake, so I threw a twig, and when that still didn’t wake her up, a small rock.

It bounced against her leg, and her eyes flew open. “Ow!” She sat up and rubbed her calf. “Did you really have to do that?”

“Yes. Now get up,” I snapped. “We haven’t got all day.”

“Great. Mean Liam is back,” she grumbled, pushing her hair out of her face. It’d fallen out of her ponytail and gotten all wild, which wasn’t helping my morning situation.

“Mean Liam never left. Hurry up. I want breakfast,” I told her.

“Breakfast is probably over.” She yawned, and pointed at the sun. “It’s almost noon.”

Dammit. She was right. We’d way overslept. Hopefully nobody noticed that both of us had been gone from our dorms last night. “We need to get back,” I told her, and I got to my feet. “Come on.”

I went to head out of the clearing, but before I could, Sophia cried, “Wait!”

I turned around. She ran to the tree we’d climbed on last night and raised her hand. A small bit of fire appeared in her palm, and she moved it slowly over the tree trunk, burning an inscription into the wood.

“There.” She stepped back, proud of her work. I looked at it. With her magic, she’d carved our initials into the tree: S and L.

“This is our place now,” she said. “We’ve claimed it.”

I couldn’t decide if that was really cute or really annoying. “Come on, dork. Let’s go.”

Esis ran after Sophia, trilling and hopping on her back. We headed back to town, but this time, we didn’t hold hands. We were acting like friends again now, instead of… whatever we’d been last night.

We were passing by Professor Baine’s house. Baine lived closer to castle in Kinpago, instead of within the Water tribe’s borders underwater, because it was a quicker walk to the school.
