Chapter one ***Carson's P.O.V*** “Well, maybe I don't want to pretend to be your boyfriend. Did the fact that I am gay slip your mind?” I asked Cassidy, who seemed to be bouncing off the walls today. She sent me a deathly glare. “Who cares? There's a load of gross guys staring at us right now.” I rolled my eyes. “More like staring at you, genius.” Cassidy frowned at me before smiling. “Come on, just even a hug or something?

Video Log 11: This visit is so boring. I’ve been in England now for six days and we’ve done “magic summer school” on every one of them. Although, it’s not as awesome as it sounds. Practicing takes a lot of time and energy that mostly ends up in a little bit of magic and a lot of me wanting to strangle Hawking.
