Anyways, my mom decided she was too busy to take me to get my hair done, which really annoyed me. At least there's always next weekend, though. I at least want to have my hair dyed before school starts.
It hurts to bend my wrist now. And I got hit with a ricochet airsoft bullet from when I went outside where my two brothers were shooting. Yeah, they like to shoot at the wall and stuff. Idiots.
Excerpt time:
__“Hm?” I stood, and nearly fell again as dizziness hit me like a brick wall. Alex sprung forward and scooped me up in his arms.
__“You’re in no condition to walk, girl,” Syx told me as his friend carried me back to the horses. “Using that much magic without training is not a great idea. As you can probably tell.” I nodded drowsily, letting my head fall against Alexander’s chest. He made a small noise as I let my arms wrap around his neck
__“What’s wrong, Majesty?” My voice was faint.
__“Nothing.” With less effort than I would have thought, he sat me on his horse. “You’ll be riding with me. I think that if you were alone on a horse it would end badly.” He flashed me a smile.
__“Okay.” Syx took my horse’s reins and held them as he waited for Alex to climb on behind me. Then he clambered onto his own mare and loosely hooked the stallion’s reins on the horn on the front of his saddle.
__“She’ll be okay, right?” Alex pulled me closer as his horse began to walk.
__“Mari will be fine. And I’m sure you’ll be watching her every second, even after she’s recovered.” I felt Alex stiffen. A smirk was evident in Syx’s voice, although I was too drowsy to care why.
__“That was out of line.”
__“Forgive me, Alex, but I’ve been able to read you since we were boys. I don’t want to, believe me, but it’s something I just know.” My teacher sighed heavily. “Just don’t hurt her.” Almost instinctively, Alexander dropped one hand from the reins to fall over mine.
__“I won't.” My eyes fluttered closed, and I leaned back against my companion.

As I said in yesterday's post, I'd appreciate ay ideas as to the title for the poem from that same post.
Peace
