Diamond pushed open the door as she and Will made their way out of Advanced Elements class. It had been a rather rough drill which Peregrine had put them through, and Diamond had knocked him down twice with her shield spell. Holding her books in her arm, she held open the door for Will who followed out behind her. Moments after both of them had emerged from the class, the rest of the students spilled out of the class, the procession ended by sore-looking Peregrine. His hair had hardened into locks of sweat and was all over his face. He looked about ready to fall asleep since so much of his energy had been sapped up by defensive elemental spells. The tired looking youth, waved back to Diamond and Will, both of whom waved back, and then he headed for the stairs to the Captains dormitories, no doubt to sleep.
As soon as he was gone, Diamond turned to Will, who also looked as if he was about to keel over. Diamond looked sideways at him and then bumped into him on purpose, but made it look like an accident.
“Sorry.” Will said as they resumed their normal walking positions once again. They walked in silence for some time until they came to the great Christmas trees which they and Peregrine had set up together in the halls.
“Nice Christmas trees.” Diamond commented. “He sure went all out decorating this year, don’t you think?”
“Indeed,” Will agreed.
“Did you know he got a band of wood elves to play at the last minute, since we would be the only ones performing? He just handed them the songs we were going to play and said, here, do it.”
“Uh-huh.”
Diamond, now frustrated and at the end of her wits, stepped right in front of Will and looked straight into his face. Their noses where less then and inch apart.
“Aren’t you supposed to be asking me something?” Diamond said in desperation.
“Uhhhhh…….” Was Will’s response, he was too busy noticing the fact that their faces were less then an inch apart and he didn’t know what she was talking about anyway.
Diamond waited expectantly, but for five whole minutes, no answer came. Finally she looked down and backed away, looking disappointed.
“Fine.” She said in a hurt voice… “I though you cared more then that, Will, I really did. But I guess I know better now, don’t I?” She sounded close to tears, which was something that Diamond rarely did. With that, she took a firmer hold on her books and then ran down the hall without looking back at her friend.
Will looked up, still blushing a bright red color.
“Diamond…wait!”
But Diamond didn’t look back as she ran down the hall. Will ran after her
“Diamond!”
But Diamond disappeared around the corner and was nowhere to be seen when Will rounded the corner.
“Di?” He looked in the shadows, walked the length of the corridor and peered down the next hall to find no one. “Diamond? Ah, what’s the use?” He asked himself annoyed. He turned back around and headed back to the Captains common room where he found Peregrine asleep on a sofa, stretched out to his short, in Will’s opinion, height of five feet and six inches.
“Pippin.” Will said urgently, shaking his friend. “Pippin I need your help.”
Back out in the corridor, Diamond ran like her life depended on it. She was quite a swift runner and at that moment she was so confused that she didn’t know what else to do with herself at that moment. She knew she liked Will. Heck, she was in love with him, but did he really feel the same way about her? When she confided in Peregrine with her worries and asked him if he thought Will liked her, he always made some wise crack joke asking them which were the darkest corners in the castle, when they were getting married, and if he could be best man at their wedding. She hated it and wondered whether he did the same thing to Will, if he even had the most remote feelings for her at all, she thought bitterly.
She was running along, lost in thought and not looking where she was going when she suddenly ran into something solid. She was knocked to her feet and scrapped her elbows in the process. Swearing, she rose to her feet to see…
