Author's Note – Hello there! My name is Charlotte Donnelly! (A.K.A. MagnusBanelover) I am co-writing this story with the ever fabulous MagnusJane25! I hope you all enjoy it!

Song:

Magnus sat in the stuffy classroom and sighed. He had propped his head into his hand once he found himself falling asleep. The teachers stood at the front of the room, droning on and on in a monotonous voice about…something. Science class was truly horrible. Another melodramatic sigh and his gold-green eyes slid over to glance at the boy next to him. Ragnor had long past started to day dream; his dark brown eyes lightly fell into his chocolate eyes lined lightly by eyeliner. Ragnor was not usually one to adorn it, but today was a special day. The last day of the semester, the last day of them having to grit their teeth and endure the pain that was listening to the stupid lessons. Magnus couldn't have been more ecstatic when the bell rang, cutting off Mr. I'm-too-good-to-be-interesting mid-sentence. A collective quiet squeal rang throughout the room as everyone collected their books. "Children, I hope you have a good day," called the teacher as they practically ran out of the room. Magnus rolled his eyes when he heard Simon Lewis bid him the same. A silent scoff came from Ragnor as he strutted down the aisle of the desks. Magnus smirked at him, nodding in agreement.

Camille, glorious as ever, stood outside of the door. She had pulled her golden curls into a masterful bun, the stray hairs of her bangs swooping in front of her emerald eyes. Her torso was covered by a skin-tight, white, patent leather dress with a wide black belt around her mid-section. She made her way over to the boys, her black boots making loud clanking noises as she did. Ragnor rolled his eyes and glared at her, while Magnus playfully smirked and welcomed her with a warm hug. "Hello, darling," she whispered into his ear. "How are my boys?" she asked as she pulled back. Ragnor grumbled and looked away from her. A small pout formed on her lips as she looked over at the other boy.

Magnus rolled his eyes and linked his arm into Camille's. The pout quickly vanished, replaced by a sweet smile. "Class was drab, per usual," Magnus groaned as he led them down the halls to the cafeteria. "I am quite happy that this semester is over, and we get to switch classes. If I had to go through one more day of that, I swear I would've gone mad!" The blonde girl giggled and rounded the corner to the lunch room. "It is too bad that we still have class tomorrow," he breathed out as they entered the crowded room. "Granted, they are our new classes and we won't be doing much, but still..." he trailed off.

Camille rolled her eyes and sneered her agreement. The school probably had a life mission to make them all miserable, seeing as they still had school tomorrow, the school was such an awful establishment, and the food they served was absolutely horrendous. Magnus usually bought his lunch, just never ate it, but he had felt like being a little kid and bringing his lunch. Both of his friends had lightly teased him, but he just smiled in response to their taunts. So, he sat down at the back table and opened up his sparkly lunchbox. Peering inside, he squealed and took out the sandwich his aunt had made him. Camille looked up and grinned at her best friend. In his hands was his favorite sandwich of all time: peanut butter and fluff. The plastic was soon deposited on the table, and Magnus sank his teeth into the soft bread. His eyelids slid shut as the flavor assaulted his tongue. His friends chuckled lowly and pushed their trays away from them.

Magnus very rarely got to enjoy the pleasure of having a childhood. His parents weren't really acting like parents. They had allowed him to do whatever he wanted, go wherever he wanted, and be his own person. It wasn't until recently, may be a few months ago, that Magnus had moved into his aunt and uncle's home. Again, they weren't as strict as some people, but they did act like normal parents. They worried and cared for him. His aunt would spoil him with treats such as the sandwich and cake. Magnus was very grateful for all of it, especially them allowing him to live with them. Despite his childhood, he was quite a humble boy. He knew what he was to expect and what he was not to expect from people. That's why it always shocked him when people would act unusually nice to him. He knew nothing of it, it was confusing to him. Living with his aunt and uncle was supposed to help him learn…some things his parents neglected to teach him.

"Magnus," Camille said, "are you okay?" Magnus looked up from his sandwich, realizing that he never had taken his mouth away from it. He had let himself wander back into his thoughts. He silently cursed himself and smiled at the girl.

"I'm perfect, darling. Nothing to worry about," he cocked his head slightly and smiled at her. She raised her eyebrow, but shrugged it off. Magnus inwardly sighed and finished his sandwich. Lunch passed by quickly, he barely finished his lunch before they had to head to their next class. The other two looked at him skeptically as he shuffled his way down the hall, barely next to them. They glanced at each other, both wearing an expression of concern. Camille reached out to touch him before slowly retracting. She knew that he was lost in his thoughts, no use pulling him out of them. She would only get lied to when she asked if he was okay. Ragnor grabbed her by the elbow and excused themselves from Magnus. He dazedly looked over at them and nodded once before stepping to the side and waiting for them.

The brown-eyed boy pulled her lightly to the corner and turned to her. "I'm worried about Magnus," he whispered to her. "He's getting lost more often than he used to, and I don't know why. He won't talk about it with me, and I know he won't talk about it with you," he glanced over at the sparkly boy and frowned. He still stood there, looking at the floor with a blank expression, but he saw someone—no, two someones- making their way over to him. Ragnor narrowed his eyes to look at the people. A sharp intake of breath, and he was bolting over to Magnus. Camille whirled around to gaze after him. She saw him stop in front of Magnus and glare at the oncoming people. She took a small step forward, and covered her mouth. There stood the only people who could've caused such an awful thing to happen to Magnus.

Camille had to hold back the urge to run over to the man and woman and sock them in the face. She bit her lip and dared to glance over at Magnus. He had picked up his head. She saw the pure shocked expression on his face as he gazed at the people in front of Ragnor. His hand reached up and was placed on Ragnor's hip. The other boy turned to look at him confused. Magnus didn't break eye contact with the man that stood closet to him. Ragnor was lightly pushed off to the side as Magnus stepped towards said man. He opened his mouth slightly and stood there for a second before frowning. Camille had made her way slowly over to the group and heard the words come out of mouth that only made her heart sink even further. "Mom? Dad?"
