The last I explored the people in the Academy’s past, my attention lingered on a duel between a pair of students. When I finished penning that tale, I didn’t plan on returning to these particular characters.

Instantly, my mind churned to work the loser of the previous duel into this Romantic Comedy. As I wondered how to work Aiden into this narrative, my mind crafted what I feel is the prototypical popular girl. After multiple iterations, I ended up with a storyline that emphasized both romantic and comedic traits.

Ramona laid her watering can down and stepped into the hallway, gesturing toward the swinging door. “Were you planning on getting help from Liddia?”
Aiden’s tongue raced across his lips as he nodded.
