When the Stars Shine at Sunset, Christina [books to read in your 20s female txt] 📗

therefore you don't need one." he said and when I looked confused he added, "Your blood is filled with the most powerful magic in the world, apart from other royal families. You can control your power without a wand but anybody that doesn't have royal blood like you do needs one and can't do magic without one. Your father made that rule up about ten years ago." he said 'your father' with disgust.
"Oh, Okay so I'm more powerful than you?" I said playfully.
He laughed and said, "yeah you are you could control me if you knew how. We should get started with the lesson." I nodded in agreement. "Okay, focus on any person, or thing, that you want, imagine it here with you."
I did as I was told. I closed my eyes and started to think of Jason, then thought better of it. What would he think if he ended up here, a place he'd never been before, popping in out of thin air? I laughed at the thought, then thought of a cute little kitten with a long tail and a pink nose with stripes like a cat I used to have. It appeared in front of me I could hear it meowing and then start purring, so I opened my eyes and saw it. It is cute! I thought to myself.
"Very good, Cecilia," I heard my father say. I didn't even hear him enter the room. "You are going to be very powerful, I can tell, I wasn't even that good on my first try." He said and then smiled. "How about we get some breakfast?" I nodded and we left the training room to get something to eat.


Jason

"Good morning, Princess Cecilia." some random guy said while bowing really low. I really wish they would stop it, the bowing and calling me princess, it was really annoying. I was attempting to find my way back to my room and failing miserably. I was lost.
I opened a big door that stood to my right and found it led outside. I walked out and looked around. There was a huge fountain in the middle of one of those round-about things, flowers everywhere, and a few benches here and there. I walked over to the other side of the fountain and looked up at the Castle? Yep, that’s basically what it looked like. “Great, I’ll never find my room now.” I spoke sarcastically to myself not expecting anyone to talk back.
“You really shouldn’t talk to yourself; people might think you’re crazy and we don’t want a crazy hair to the throne, do we?” I turned around and saw Paul standing there smirking at me. “Come on I’ll show you the way to your room.” He gestured with his hand for me to follow him. I nodded and started after him.
We walked side by side all the way to my room; where he then left with one final wave goodbye. I walked over to my enormous bed and plopped down, with a sigh.
I wonder what my ‘friends’ are doing right about now. I thought to myself. Claire will probably be thinking of other ways to ruin my live not knowing I had left, yet. Why did I leave? It was stupid of me; I wasn’t thinking straight. I don’t think I would have agreed to come if I hadn’t caught my ‘best friends’ making out, would I? No, I don’t think I would have.
Anyway, back to that thought. I wonder what Jason is doing right now. He probably has already forgotten I existed and is playing video games. That thought made me smile. Jay is one of those people that forget things easy or get too detracted with other things to remember. I smiled at some of the memories of Jason.

*~*Flashback*~*

“Hey! That’s mine, Give it back!” Jason yelled, while laughing as I took his pop.
“No, you shouldn’t have had your backpack unzipped if you didn’t want it stolen.” I said in a calm innocent voice trying hard not to laugh as well. It wasn’t, I repeat, wasn’t unzipped because of me. He tried snatching it from me, but I jumped away and started jogging to our secret spot.
“It was too zipped! You unzipped it to steal my pop, well it’s not going to work that way.” He smiled an evil smile as I turned to look at him.
“Don’t!” I yelled at him before I turned back around and started running, but it was too late. He rapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to a stop.
“You didn’t really think you could run away from me did you?” He asked, while laughing. I could feel the rumble from his laugh, as he still had a hold of me.
I sighed. “No, not really, but it was worth a try. I really wanted your pop.” I started to fake cry. “I mean, it’s so sad; it’s just a pop. Why can’t I have it?” I continued to fake cry hoping it would work and it did, well, sort of.
“How about we share?” He asked while letting go of me, much to my disappointment, and walking towards our spot.
“Sure.” I replied smugly while following him down the path of trees, as I like to call it. It’s a path, full of trees, leaves, and mine and Jay’s footprints in the dry mud.
As we entered our secret spot I couldn’t help notice the flowers had all bloomed, and the little creek that runs by sounded more beautiful that the last time I was here. I looked over at Jason who was setting out a blanket for us to lie on and stared. I walked over still staring at him and thought about how hot he look-
“Are you checking me out?” Jason’s voice cut my thoughts short. I jumped looking away turning a bright red.
“No!” I said all too quickly and tried to play cool. “There was just nowhere else to look.” That sounded brilliant! I thought, all too soon.
“Um… Have you looked around? There are plenty of beautiful things to look at around here.” He said, slowly, kind of like he thought I was stupid; which I thought I was. “Anyway, sit down with me.” He gestured to the spot next to him which I gladly took.
We sat in silence for a few minutes, and then the sun started to set. I looked at the sky and saw the stars mixed in with different colors from the setting sun.
I looked over at Jason and saw he wasn’t even watching the sun set; he was watching me.
“Why are you watching me?” I asked him because it was kind of creepy. “As you said earlier; ‘there are plenty of beautiful things to look at around here.’” I quoted what he said earlier.
“Nothing is more beautiful than you.” He breathed out to where I had to strain my ears to hear what he said. Just as I was about to reply he said, “We should go before it gets to dark.”
“Okay,” that was my brilliant reply.

*~*End Of Flashback*~*

As I think about it now I know I should have said something. Then I’d still be there, with my friends; instead I’m stuck here with people I don’t even know. These are strangers I left my family and friends for. I just hope I get to see them, at least one of them; Jason…
