Sky's P.O.V

Wait a second-

Did she just try to cover it up? So, she KNOWS she is an angel. Is she a refugee, too?

"Hey, S. What's up, man! I just asked you something. Were you even listening?"

I snapped back and looked at Aiden, who looked like he borrowed Will Poulter's eyebrows. It looked so funny.

"What's so funny, man? Man, I don't know what you took, but I want it, too.", said Aiden a little too loud.

"Mr. Altair, Mr. Green. Is there anything you want to share with us?", Professor Yun asked us.

"Er- no, Sir. We are sorry for interrupting your class, Sir.", I quickly said.

"Alright. Please keep it quiet next time.", he said and winked at us.

He is the coolest Professor I know.

"Okay, now tell me. What were you doing while you didn't listen to me?", Aiden asked now whispering to me.

"N-nothing. I was just looking forward.", I said and looked to the front.

"Yeah, don't fool me. You were checking out the girl with the blue hoodie. You don't have to play it cool. She is all yours, man. Not my type anyway.", Aiden said dismissing his observation.

"O...kay?", I said unsure of what he meant.

We don't call dibs on women in Aerius. We simply feel our mate when we are near them. My mom always told me stories about how she met my other mom. Yes, I had two moms as parents. Yes, I was adopted. No, I am not mad at them. Yes, I know who my parents were. No, they were not royal. They were average workers of the royal family and very well respected. They died in the attack with my own adoptive parents. I still mourn for them on the day they died.

But back to the mating. My mom said, she got near my other mom and felt a big gush of wind that brought electric jolts along the way all over her arm. The swirls on her arm were burning and she had to put ice on them.

At first she didn't understand what that meant. But every time she came near my other mom, she felt the same thing again. And then it clicked. She found her mate. So one day, they held hands and said "Jeg elsker deg" and the swirls moved swiftly between both of them and put new unique one's on their hand. Yes, people speak in Norwegian when they mate. It was tradition and it wouldn't work in other languages. The new swirls were the color of each other's eyes and shimmered pastel.

Everyone knew then that they mated and found each other. The people around them were very happy and sent gifts to their cabin as a celebration to finding their mate.

And mating with the same gender was normal in Aerius. As normal as mating with the opposite gender was.

Aria's P.O.V.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fu-

Brrrrring!

Saved by the bell!

I quickly packed my bag and rushed outside to get to my room.

Slamming the door, I ran to the bathroom forgetting Sam was sleeping.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Shit.

"I'M SORRY."

"Hey, Ari. Did something happen? Tell me, who that bitch was and I SWEAR-", Sam got up and knocked heavily on the bathroom door.

"No, it's no one. I am fine. I just had a bad day.", I responded quickly.

Hope, she fell for that.
