Chapter Twenty-Two

At the end of classes, after waving goodbye to Henry and Murphy as they started their walk toward Brighton’s town center, Raven hurried to Leander’s pen. She pushed herself to move faster and felt less exhausted now with a dragon to look forward to.

When she reached his pen, Leander didn’t wait for her to open the gate. “I’m hungry.”

She chuckled. “It looks like someone has their appetite back, huh? I’ll be right back.”

Rounding the long side of the stables, she hurried inside and retrieved another burlap sack of dragon feed and heaved it over her shoulder. There were only three more stacked in the pile, and she turned to search the rest of the feed supplies. Either the school brings in new shipments, or Leander and I are gonna have to make a food run to Moss Ranch.

The thought made her laugh, and she was still grinning when she stepped out of the stables and headed toward the pen.

“Hey, Raven.”

The sack of feed almost fell over her shoulder when she spun toward the greeting. “Oh. Hi, Daniel.”

“I thought I might find you out here.”

“You did, huh?” With a smirk, she repositioned the dragon feed and continued toward Leander’s pen. “What makes you think that?”

“Well…” He gave a nervous, breathy laugh and fell into step beside her. “I mean, everyone knows your dragon’s out here. I thought…if I had a dragon on the grounds, I’d be here all the time. Are you not?”

She thumped the sack onto the grass outside the gate and turned to him with her hands on her hips. “I am. I was messing with you.”

“Oh, okay. Yeah. Cool.”

Cool. Here we go again.

He smiled and ran a hand through his hair but did nothing more than simply stare at her.

Raven smiled and raised her eyebrows. “I assume you came out here to find me for a reason, right?”

“Oh, yeah. Totally. I wanted to ask you again about—”

A loud bang rose from the closest pen wall, followed by a snort. Daniel jumped a little, and she pressed her lips together. A second-year with no vocabulary and a seriously hungry dragon. That’s a great combo.

“Woah.” He glanced at the pen with wide eyes. “He’s really in there, isn’t he?”

“Yep. He merely keeps a low profile.” She glanced at the pen walls but didn’t see a hint of the red dragon peeking up over the top. “Literally.”

“Cool. That’s so cool.”

He grinned at the enclosure and nodded repeatedly, and she decided she couldn’t wait any longer. “What did you want to ask me? I’m about to feed that hungry dragon, so…” She shrugged. “It’s probably a good idea not to keep him waiting.”

“Yeah. Right. Yeah.” Daniel smiled at her again and stepped closer. She kept her hand on the top of the feed sack but stepped smoothly behind it to protect her personal space. “So you haven’t given me an answer yet.” He grinned and lowered his chin toward her.

Okay, he admittedly has cute dimples. He’s not much of a conversationalist, though.
