"I can't believe you won." Connor throws his digital notepad into his school bag in disgust.

"I told you." Felix points at himself. "Genius."

"Genius who got in trouble for not waiting for the teacher to call on you before answering the questions." Declan groans as he stands, hands at the base of his spine as he leans back into a stretch.

"Winning is winning." Felix grabs me in a hug, arms banded around my body. I hang in his arms like a favorite teddy bear. "Are you amazed by me, Sparks?"

"Amazed by your ego, maybe." Connor stands and walks toward the exit after the last of the students.

"Congratulations, Felix." Myrrine calls from the front of the class. Her cheekbones show a darker shade of blue than usual, her narrowed eyes unhappy. "You were very informative in class today."

"See, Sparks?" Felix rocks on his feet, making us sway together. "Even your roommate thinks I'm amazing."

"That's not what she said." I pinch him, and he jumps away from me.

He rubs at his side. "That's totally what she said."

"It is not, in fact, what I said." Myrrine taps her foot against the ground, clearly irritated. She doesn't like being shown up in class, even if it was only because Felix kept shouting the answers. "Caitlyn, will you come back to the dorm to study?"

"Sparks and I have a detour to make." Declan grabs his bag from the hook on his desk and turns to me, expectant.

"Right now?" I gather my things, and we walk to the front.

"Hey, wait for me." Felix's chair rattles as he flings his things into his bag before he rushes to join us.

Myrrine waits at the front of the room, bag slung over her shoulder. When Declan and I reach her, she places a hand on my arm. "I will study with you tonight so that tomorrow, you may answer more questions."

"Umm, thanks?"

"You are most welcome." With a frown, she glances over my head at Felix. "This mark on your face, is it the same as Caitlyn's from yesterday?"

Surprised she brought it up, I peer at Felix over my shoulder. His hand covers the left side of his face. "Yeah, we all have them. You're lucky you skipped etiquette."

In fact, Felix has a new one from lunch today. He clinked his water glass when he set it on the table. The rest of us managed to make it through unscathed.

Myrrine's frown deepens as swirls of pink join the deep blue on her cheeks. "Bastian would never allow such harm to my person."

"Lucky you." Felix shuffles around us to head toward the door. Over his shoulder, he calls, "But the rest of us don't have bodyguards to protect us."

Myrrine's grip on my arm turns cold. "Caitlyn, you must write home about this abuse."

I pat her icy hand. "They already know."

"What?" Her coral pink lips part in confusion as she checks with Declan for confirmation.

"All of our ancestors attended school here." Declan shrugs in dismissal. "Everyone in our families went through the same training.
