LHAPLCT US4.0 I Chapter 0443 We had no fairies at this school though, fairies aren't always known for their niceness despite what popular stories might say. Most of them couldn't stand shifters and other creatures of the night. They were selfish and if you got too close to one, they could, and most do, harm with their magic. They are known to keep to themselves, and they certainly aren't ones to mess with.
With that being said, most fairies don’t want to attend a school where shifters are, so we don’t have any at this school. But that doesn’t mean this school isn't open to them.

“So, you are a fairy.” It wasn't a question, but she nodded anyway.
“I know what the rumors say that we aren't nice creatures,” she said as she met my eyes. “And that may be true for a lot of fairies. But my family and I are different. We moved away and started a new life. It’s a difficult adjustment...” “It's always hard going to a new school. This is my second year at this academy and I'm still trying to get used to it." 2/8 - i

“Second year? How old are you? You look so young, I would have thought it was your first year or something,” she said, staring around my face with an alarmed expression, making me chuckle.
“I'm 18," I answered. “The academy starts at the age of 17,” I further explained. 1 “You're my age,” she said. “The school of Magic starts at the age of 15. I went there for 3 years before coming here. I'm starting fresh with my family, so I guess technically this is my first year.” I sat down beside her.

I laughed.
“I could say the same about you,” I said in return; this made her laugh as well. “Did you say you needed help with your studies?” I She sighed and glanced at her book.
“I'm behind because I'm starting in the middle of the school year. These lessons are different than the ones I'm used to at my old school and I'm kind of lost...” she admitted. “I'm not sure what to do. My parents are paying a lot of money to send me here and I don't want to disappoint them.

“I actually live off campus with my parents,” she said softly. “There weren't any singular rooms left and no one wanted to room with a fairy...” My heart fell into my stomach, but before I could say anything, I heard Enzo’s voice in my head as he used his mindlink to connect with me.
