The dormitories were _insane. _I wasn’t sure how they worked though.

Boys and girls separate?

Separated by talent?

Everyone just went where they wanted?

Turns out, none of the above. According to Leo, the room chose you. Lucky me, I didn’t have a power yet, and that was how they chose.

Each dorm was about ten feet off of the ground on something like a large tree stump. They were all in a large semicircle just a few feet from the pavilion.

There was one that was made completely of stained glass and looked like a giant sun catcher, one that had a clear glass exterior with water flowing out over the glass to appear as a waterfall, and one that was made completely of flowers.

They all had the weird shape of a dumpling… or a flower… possibly garlic?

I saw kids _everywhere. _Growing flowers, messing with swords, riding unicorns.

Unicorns? Something didn’t sit right… just then, Leo grabbed my arms and turned me left to face one of the dorms.

I had gotten so lost in thought I didn’t even realize we had arrived at theirs.

There were tons more down the row, and Leo’s sat right about in the middle. A water fountain squirted iridescent water out from the top nearby.

His dorm was beautiful.

Glass windows curved upward in the dumpling shape, and constellations appeared and disappeared over it.

I just stood there, gawking at the house. Alea laughed and pulled me up the wooden steps.

Leo and Kai followed.

The door was the same color as the rest of the house with a blue gemstone handle. Leo tapped me on the shoulder, and I realized how cute he was.

His blond hair and black T-shirt, and he was tall too. His eyes looked like fire.

He cleared his throat, and I realized I’d been staring.

Cheeks burning, I stepped aside and hid behind Alea.

That was mortifying. He pulled the key out of nowhere and unlocked the door.

Alea and Kai went in, and Leo held the door for me. I hurried through, avoiding eye contact.
