from the compliment all the same.
“Ok, here’s a pass, off to class with you,” he handed me a pink slip of paper, excusing me from being late to class.
“Mr. Lambert’s going to be so mad at me,” I squeaked, but Amory only laughed at me.
I bounded up the stairs, hoping that Amory was right. Hopefully Sebastian was only curious about my opinion at Lilly’s trial over the All Saints Festival. Maybe there was nothing else to his arrival.

Let’s ditch the rest of the day . Avalon sent me his thought telepathically in the middle of French.
I’ve missed too much already. I’ll get behind in chemistry . I responded glumly.
Ok, Eden. It’s time you come to terms with your magic. What good is it if you don't use it for homework? We’re skipping and that’s final .
Avalon made a good point. But I couldn’t help 97/711
but feel guilty for both skipping and cheating on my home work. It’s not cheating, for the last time ! Avalon read my thought and I heard him grunt audibly behind me.
Fine . I gave in. It will probably be better to get away from Sebastian for a while anyways. Do you think Amory will excuse us?
This is a legitimate skip, Eden. If there are consequences to pay, we’ll pay them. We can’t continue to rely on Amory to excuse our behavior.
People will get suspicious, especially that new Kendrick. Avalon’s mind voice was full of disgust, and I felt how sick and tired he was of having another member of the monarchy around and it had only been two days.
After French, Avalon and I made our way down the marbled staircase on our way out of the building, hoping to remain undetected. We were almost to the back door when a snotty voice rang out from behind us.

“And where do you think you’re going?” Seraphina’s piercing high-pitched voice demanded of us.
I turned around not entirely sure what to say. Although I would have liked to ignore her completely, I felt guilty for some unexplainable reason and couldn't just dismiss her. Ok, maybe not so unexplainable. I was cheating with her fiancé....
“Avalon forgot something in his truck,” I replied sweetly, at the same time riddled with remorse.
“That takes two of you?” She stared at me, long fingers on small hip. Her shiny blonde hair was brushed into perfection and her lips a shiny shade of pink gloss.
“Um, yes,” I said simply, and ran my fingers through my wild wavy black hair subconsciously, trying to untangle it.
“Listen Eden, I don’t know what you think you're doing, but you should know that I am not going to sit back while you try to steal my boyfriend.” My mouth dropped open from surprise, but she 99/711
continued, “And listen, you better watch out because I will destroy you. Do you understand me?
I will ruin your life and make you wish you never discovered those stupid powers of yours. To think Lucan wanted to know if there was anything special about you! Are you kidding me?
You’re nothing but an insignificant peasant; you don’t even know how to use your magic, let alone what to do with it. You are absolutely nothing to me and you need to learn your place. Stay away from Kiran or I will annihilate you. That is a promise,” Seraphina stood there perfectly poised and perfectly put together, her one hand gripping her waste firmly. She was much too pretty to be this mean.
I stood there, cowering. I knew I was in the wrong. And I knew she was fully capable of delivering on her promises.
“Whatever, Seraphina,” I mumbled weakly, my voice shaking from fear of her.
She stood there staring after me for a few moments longer, the blue of her eyes turning to ice. I 100/711
felt myself struggle to swallow, wishing she would just go away. And then finally, with one last look of contempt, she turned on her heel and walked away, her black stilettos making a hard clicking sound against the polished marble floor.
One hand never left her hip, while the other hand flipped her glistening hair over her
