Doyle sat alone on a bench waiting for his dad to stop chatting with some shopkeeper about how business was doing. It wasn't like his dad knew anymore about what was going on than he did, but he did always seem to know how to act in any situation. Maybe it was just a dad thing. All he knew was...

Margo was struggling to write more than a few words before she ended up ripping out the page from her notebook and tossing it aside. She was trying to write a letter to her brother. Even with Professor Le Fey's vision, she didn't think she would find him in Brightstone but maybe she could find...

Caleb loved Halloween. It wasn't really something he had a lot of experience with before Hogwarts but he loved the costumes and getting a chance to be someone else for a night. He usually put in a decent amount of effort in his costumes but this year he wanted to go all out for the last time...

Margo's stomach had been in knots since she got her pink rose. At least it had been at the end of the day but it had certainly thrown her through a considerable loop. One she was still trying to right herself from. But the note had been unsigned and she wasn't sure what to think. She thought it...

Santiago didn't know what he was doing here. He had spent his whole day in a foul mood with the castle full of roses and friends and crushes. But he felt so far removed from everyone and his homesickness and loneliness was at an all time high. He didn't feel like he belonged and today proved it...

Santiago's break had been about as bad as he had expected it to be. He had gone home to his mom in Texas and while he usually liked spending the holidays at the ranch he knew it was intentional to keep him away from his old friends. He had begged to go visit his dad and when his mom finally...

Aika enjoyed the time outside of the dorm at this time of the year. She just wished that she could be home with her dad, brother and uncle Chal during summer instead of being at school, but still, here she was. Excited for the holidays but while waiting, she decided to put some blanket on the...

Elise had become well acquainted with the park in Brightstone. She had come to the conclusion a while ago that her family wasn't sure what to do with her and that it was simply easier to leave her to her own devices. Not that she was complaining. She didn't mind and it gave her the freedom to...

Felix felt horrible and it had nothing to do with the bruises on his body. This was supposed to be his year. It was his first season as starting seeker and now it was all over and he was stuck in the hospital wing with no clue how the game was going. Part of him knew he shouldn't have expected...

Delilah wasn't sure why she decided to come to the dance. She didn't have a date but that wasn't new. She had been hiding all day and had expected to continue that tonight. But there had been a moment earlier that night when the rest of her roommates had left, when she had been all alone that...

Poppy had been excited for the Valentine's dance. She knew she would be going once again with out a date but she didn't mind. There were plenty of different kinds of love to celebrate and she wouldn't dare miss her last school event. She sighed wistfully as she stood off to the side, watching...

Poppy had always looked forward to Halloween and this year was no different. She still wasn't on best of terms with her friends but she was starting to care less and less about that. And she wasn't about to let that stop her from going to the feast and entering the costume contest. She hadn't...
