I blink away to the soft morning light spilling through the window.
For a moment, everything is serene.
The memories of last night's games and laughter linger like a distant melody. My room is unusually quiet. I look to my side. Ivy is already out of bed. She's probably downstairs talking to the others, I think to myself as I roll out of bed. My closet has little clothing, since many of them are still in my dorm at Keeper Academy.
It's not like I'm going to go back there soon.
Thankfully, I have some good clothes left. I throw on a t-shirt and some jeans. As I open the bedroom door, I hear my friends' voices from downstairs. It's nice hearing a lively house full of laughter and energy. When I lived alone, I didn't realize how different things could be. My footsteps are light as I walk down the stairs to greet my friends.
