"What did you buy?" Nora asked Amber and Zia who just reached the place where everyone decided to meet
"just some stuff...what about you?" Amber asked tiredly.
"Me …too, just some stuff," she said looking down, blushing a little.
Zia smiled looking at her while Amber is confused about what happened.
"Hey …you are here" Aiden spoke panting walking towards them.
"Who are you?" Noah guarded
"Woah, Woah …chill. I know that girl" he said looking at Amber...
"What do you want?" Amber asked irritatedly
"just wanted to ask your name," he said excitedly
"ooh," Nora started teasing Amber...
"Hi... I am Nora," she said giving a handshake…while Noah pulled her immediately into his arms...
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Nora shouted angrily...
"What?" Noah mumbled, looking at her innocently.
"It's okay... I get extremely jealous too …if my lover touches another man," he said
"WHAT …HEY …WE ARE NOT LOVERS!!!" Nora yelled.
Aiden looked at Noah, and he shook his head as No with a disappointed look on his face.
"Okay... I am sorry," he said and looked at Zia.
"She is Zia" Amber spoke and Zia gave him a handshake...
"Hello Zia"
Then he looked at Amber
"Amber," she said
"Hello, Amber... I am Aiden" he said and widened his hand for a handshake...with a small smile on his face
she took it uninterested
"Hello" she replied.
Nora saw that
"Want to come to Amber's birthday party tomorrow?"
"It's Amber's birthday tomorrow?" he asked surprised…and looked at her...
"Why would we invite a stranger?" she asked angrily...
"Nope …we are friends now," Nora said and Aiden nodded his head.
"Let's go" Noah spoke, getting jealous.
"Tomorrow 6 pm... Al magic school..." she spoke as Noah pulled her.
"Bye …" Amber spoke and left from there...
Aiden Is looking at the back figurine of Amber while his small walkie-talkie made a sound...
"Is the work done?" is a message written on it...
He off it and kept it inside his pocket and walked away from there...
------
meanwhile,
"How can you invite a stranger? …what if he is a bad person?" Amber asked angrily while walking back to the school...
"Remember, we are magic school students …and he is coming to a magic school full of magicians.
Even if he is a bad person …he can't win. If he is fighting for something" Nora said confidently.
"Whatever" Amber said angrily while walking fast
"He looks like he is full-on flirting with Amber," Nora said and looked at Noah
"maybe" he replied
"He is not flirting with me, okay? And also how come you are agreeing to Nora for the first time without any argument?" Amber asked, being surprised and flustered at the same time ...
"Well…" Noah didn't finish his sentence, meanwhile...
"Okay …it's already too late …we have to reach school fast" Nora interrupted and walked quickly while Noah followed her silently...
"What's happening?" Amber mumbled, confused, and looked at Zia.
She took her book out and wrote.
"Maybe he finally confessed his feelings for her?"
"No way ...he had feelings for her?" Amber asked surprised.
Zia laughed.
"How come you didn't observe?" she wrote and showed her again...
"Well maybe 'cause my eyes don't see stupid things," she said slowly and caught Zia's hand.
"Come let's go back"

"How was shopping?" Will asked as soon as they entered the school grounds...
"It was fine, Mr.will...we bought everything we need for tomorrow's party," Nora said excitedly shaking her bag full of things needed for a party set up...
"Look … Do we really need a party?... I don't or never, felt so great about my birth...day" Amber mumbled
Will observed that...
"Why not?... A birthday is something worth celebrating each and every year …not because you were just born. It was arranged or celebrated because people are happy with you being born and living and breathing and also being a part of their lives...
Keeping all the haters aside …because we don't need them …focus on here …your friends who are happy for you being here" he said patting her head...
"Mr. Will …stop petting me I am not a kid anymore," she said...
"Okay... okay... I have some work now …later kids" he said and went inside the school building.
"I am so tired …let's just go and sleep," Nora said
"Bye Noah," Amber said, turning back and going inside...
Zia waved at him...
"b…bye" Nora stuttered...
"Good night Nora"
------
(next day)
"Is this how parties are supposed to be? … I am decorating too for my own birthday party!" Amber said being irritated while hanging the small lights on the trees with the help of Zia handing them to her
While Nora Is decorating another side...
In the forest back of the dorm
"It's our party, so we are decorating ourselves," she said
"The cake, food, and remaining arrangements are done"
"Between these lights ...there is no power near here …how will they light up?" Amber asked...
"Between guys, don't you think sticking lights to trees is a bad idea?" Noah asked...
"Huh? Why?" Nora asked confusedly
"Cause small light produce heat while being on …which being on the tree... I mean the dried wood cause there has been no rain for months now...
It can light a fire up" Noah said...
"It's fine... I cast a spell" Will spoke coming towards them.
"Mr.will"
"Wow …looks beautiful," he said looking all sides.
"Noah and I will take care of the rest …while you girls can go and get ready...
Girls do take a long time to get ready because they need to look extremely breathtaking... I completely understand, so …go"
"Thank you, Mr. Will," Nora said immediately getting down from the small ladder she is standing on, but she slipped on the second step
Before she could fall, Noah caught her by her waist...
"Are you okay?" he asked, looking into her eyes...
"y…yes thank you," she said awkwardly and ran off along with the girls...
"A love story going on?" Will asked, casually adjusting the remaining lights
