Witchling Academy Semester Eight - Avery Song Page 0,118

I felt like this was something way out of our comfort zones and yet we killed the shoot. The crew was talking about it nonstop, and with us being the first shoot for our school district, I had a strong hunch the other schools that were coming in for their shoots for the games were going to get an earful about how amazing our session was and raise the bar.

Miya and Mia were rewarding me with floor-to-ceiling posters of our images, even though I had no clue where we were going to put them, but I wasn't going to say no to seeing my four sexy boyfriends on my walls.

Regardless of the madness this photo shoot was about to conjure up in terms of our popularity, it was a good distraction as we began to prepare for the competitions.

Reaching for one of my thicker markers, I accepted the poster and signed it. "Here you go," I said with a smile before I rose up to gather my stuff.

"Thank you, Ms. Harlow." She had to be one of the juniors who just sneaked into the class to get my signature. I could see a group waiting outside as if they wished to be as bold as the girl, who seemed rather shy at first glance, but I purposely gathered my stuff and headed over to Professor Phoenix, who was awaiting my approach.

"Ready for today's session?" she inquired.

"Yes," I answered with a slight smile. "Though we may have issues going out."

She actually laughed, which caught the remaining students’ attention since Professor Phoenix wasn't the type to express her emotions during class.

"We don't need to go that route," she assured me as we waited for the remaining students to leave. The last student waved goodbye as she closed the door at Professor Phoenix's request and told her if anyone asked, we were having a meeting.

"Well, how does it feel to be famous?" she inquired as I sat down on one of the front row desks.

"I'm not sure how to feel yet, but it may become a hindrance," I admitted.

"Yes and no," she admitted. "Yes, because you're going to have a lot of people asking for your autograph, and no because there'll be a lot of attention on you, which means our hidden enemy has to be careful not to step on an explosive."

"You have a valid point," I admitted and sighed. "I haven't told the others about me visiting Elijah yet."

"That's surprising," she acknowledged. "Why? Are you worried they'll object to the idea?"

"I'm not sure?" I honestly had no clue why I was finding it difficult to share. "It's not like I'm doing anything wrong."

"You're afraid it'll affect the current dynamic in your relationship," she guessed, which seemed to make me slowly nod with a nervous expression.

"I mean, it's not like I still have feelings for Elijah or anything, and I'm not doing it out of pity either. I just hate seeing him that way and since starting, we've seen some progress."

"Major progress, actually," she acknowledged. "His brain activity is up today."

"Really?" I grinned at the news as my heart leaped with joy. She nodded and looked at me with relief in her pink eyes. "They sent the report this morning, but I knew you would have been a little tired from practice yesterday."

"Ya. Cheer practice has been vigorous, so by the time I get home and get things rolling, it's pretty late."

"How many hours of sleep have you been getting?"

"Three?" I tried to smile. "I know, it's bad."

"Bad with the competition coming up," she acknowledged. "Why don't we move to visiting him during these sessions?" she suggested.

"But isn't this back and forth tiring?" I admitted. "I'm still not good with the whole Spell Traveling to another country thing yet."

"I remember," she said with a mischievous smile. "I'd like to visit Canada during the summer and not in the middle of a raging blizzard."

That’s what I get for failing my attempt to get us to Switzerland.

"My bad." I cringed at the memory while she quietly laughed.

"It's fine, Brianne. I know this is important to you. Which reminds me, they've officially approved of a warrant for Elijah's evil twin."

"Wait, seriously?" I gasped. "Also, isn't that a bit worrisome since their names are the same?"

"Actually, evil Elijah's name is Eliyahu Hamilton on his birth certificate. The one we discovered was a tampered copy, so we requested for Witchling Star's assistance to track the real one."

"Elijah and Eliyahu. It's sad because Elijah always mentioned how he
