That black-haired idiot on the bed is me , Alaric Emily the middle child of the Emily family . I’m known for being a little too attached to objects and small children across close villages and it’s quite embarrassing . It’s all because of my younger sister Gynis loves to over-share information no one wants to know . All my siblings have access to curse books but only me and Foster, who is my older brother, are allowed to practise using them because we have spent the longest time studying them and my father thinks Gynis is too silly and reckless .

Unlike Foster and Gynis I don’t really go out to the balls or buy expensive things because I don’t see it worth while and I only go out to go to the market or to practise curses and hangout with my friends . Including , Gael Laban who says the strangest and funniest things and the most random times and Nash Rahm who is like the mother of us , who stops us from doing stupid things like jumping out of trees and running into walls . They are both basically polar opposites but their faces brighten up whenever they see each other nonetheless and I swore I saw them kiss this one time .

Even if they are like that I don’t mind being the third wheel sometimes but it just makes me solemn because I’m too nerdy to catch any girl’s attention . Gynis says it’s because I look like a girl and I definitely do not , other men around the village have long hair but they always tease me . Once Gynis gifted me a dress and an hair accessories and started to pressure me into wearing it . There was no way I was going to wear the dress but I felt guilty so i decided to wear the clip . I thought I would only wear it for a short time but i grew kind of attached to it . I mean it held my hair back perfectly , yeah that’s what i was going to say . It fired back because the clip is lavender , making me look more like a female .

To end that embarrassing topic , I did just narrate all that in my head like a weirdo but who needs to go outside when you have yourself to insult yourself, right ? Anyway I’m being blinded by the sun , I better close the blinds completely and great someone just knocked on the door there goes my prefect plans to do sweet nothing all day .
