Chapter Fifteen

Silence fills the scenic car ride back to the school until Sydney finally speaks up.

His hands grip the steering wheel firmly. “We should probably go talk to Abigail and Headmaster Walker.”

“Headmaster Walker? Is he like a real living, breathing person? I wasn’t aware he had arrived at the school yet.”

“Yeah,” he confirms. “He hasn’t been back for long, but he’s back.”

“That’s weird. Where was he?”

“He had an issue to attend to,” Sydney responds with tension rising slightly between us.

“Another thing you won’t tell me, I assume?” I prod.

“Yep.”

I stare at his profile, soaking in all the gorgeous details. Witch stuff aside, I’m totally in over my head with all these beautiful men around me. The witch stuff is more important, though, so I need to focus. I shift my gaze to anywhere but on him.

“You think they’ll know what to do?” I ask.

“They sort of have to. That’s their job.”

He puts his car back into the same spot we found it in the school parking lot earlier. He shuts off the ignition, and I keep looking ahead, out the windshield, avoiding his attention.

“Okay,” I say quietly.

Sydney continues to look in my direction, searing my skin with his eyes. “We’ll figure this out, okay? I’ll be right there with you. I know this is more than likely super-overwhelming and we don’t exactly know each other, but I’ll be here for you if you need me.”

I nod. “Thanks.” I wrench back the handle, preparing myself for what’s to come next.

We make our way inside the school, only passing a few random students on the way. Sydney stops in front of the headmaster’s office and knocks on the door, whispering something under his breath. A few seconds pass, and the door opens.

Abigail greets us with pen in one hand, a notepad clutched under her arm, confusion trailing her perfectly sculpted eyebrows. “Sydney,” she says while eyeing at me. “And, Miss Willow Oliver. What can I do for you two?”

“Hey, Abby, do you mind if we come in? There’s something rather pressing that we need to talk about.”

She shifts her gaze between us and then opens the door farther, allowing us into the room, pointing for us to sit in nearby chairs.

The room is rather spacious and well-designed. A solid wood desk adorned with intricate bronze and various succulents placed strategically around the area. Large, simple black-and-white photographs of several cities line the walls. The scent of coffee remains.

“What’s so pressing, Syd?” She stands but leans against the table, the pen pressed toward her mouth in thought, staring deeply at Sydney.

These two are on a nickname basis with each other. First Abby, now Syd. I wonder if he prefers to be called Sydney or Syd, I’ll have to remember to ask him.

“You ran your test on Willow during admission, right?”

Her confusion turns to annoyance. “Yep, her results were conclusive, and she was assigned appropriately, why?”

“Is there any possible way that you maybe were wrong?” Sydney cowers a bit with his last few words.

I smile a bit inside at how adorable he is.
