"Echo? Are you sure you won't get in trouble for coming along?" I inquired as we waited outside the gates of our dorm house.

"I'll be fine. I'm security, remember?" She winked and emphasized her black-on-black suit outfit with the badge featuring the word “security” written in gold.

Tonight was the Smokeywood block party for Elite freshmen. It was by invite only, already cutting down the population of freshmen this year into one-fifth.

Echo, being the amazing mastermind she'd proven to be in the few days of her residence in our huge basement, had not only gotten us tickets to this VIP event but somehow morphed the perfect background stories for us.

She’d come up with everything, from our "past" private schools to our multiple awards, talents, medals of honor, and other charismatic information that would catch the eye of those who'd want us to join their crews.

The term Elite was thrown around constantly, especially with this being an Elite academy institution, but the word was used differently amongst the students.

It was deemed to be used for those who deserved to carry the title like a famous crown that they'd earned after fighting a fierce battle. If you were accepted into that crowd, you were approved of that "status" and immediately treated like royalty, from what we'd researched so far this week.

Classes were all introductions this week, our supposedly two-and-half hour lessons being ten to thirty minutes long to ensure we got the gist of things. Next week was when we'd learn the nitty-gritty about this school and the fundamentals of our classes before we'd move on to the magical aspects.

This school didn't do the school year in terms. Our classes would carry through into the new year, and training would be added after the holiday break.

The content seemed easy enough for me, and I had no doubt the same went with William. Before we began this whole thing, I was dreading the idea of working with him, but this week had been far more relaxed than I’d expected.

William wasn't as mean, selfish, and arrogant as he portrayed.

Quite the opposite.

I wasn't sure if it was because he was somewhat comfortable with me or something was in the air, but the two of us got along pretty well. I still had those moments when he glared, rolled his guys, gave me a pinch of attitude, and looked like he dreaded being in the same room as me, but it actually left me a little happy.

He wasn't easy to predict, and he wasn't kind to me - or anyone - to gain something or in an obligated way.

We were partners, so that usually meant we had to trust and get along with one another, but our connection, though obviously not perfect, felt well-balanced, and that brought me a unique sense of contentment this week.

It felt good to be in his company, even if it was to do our own little hobbies in silence.

I'd come to realize William loved to read. Information was like his best friend when it came to passing the time.
