Chapter 20

Going back to school was like the first day all over again. I’d returned to my original schedule—not stuck in all of Alex’s senior-level classes—but at this point I’d missed so much material I was lost. Students stared at me constantly, and I felt about as fucking welcome here as a fish in a shark school. Now that I knew about Uriel and all of his plans for me, this ballot thing made more sense.

Royals were assholes. Arrogant assholes.

It was easy to hate them.

It was also easy to love them. "You ready for lunch?" Jordan asked, looping his arm around me, shirt unbuttoned at the collar, no tie, and his hair a mess like he'd run his hands through it a dozen times this morning.

"Like you wouldn't believe," I said. "Today has fucking sucked. I think I'm going to have to repeat this year; after Alex screwed with my classes, I'm so behind."

Mattie had warned me about falling behind, and she was right—there was no way to catch up. It hadn't exactly been my choice, though.

"I'll chat to the teachers," Jordan said, shooting daggers at a group of chicks that were blatantly staring and talking about us as we walked down the hall. "See if we can modify the system and give you some leeway."

I shook my head, stopping where I was. "I don't want you to pave royal gold on my path to the future, America. I need to stand on my own feet, learn how to fight my own battles. I've already made an appointment with Dean Morgan, figuring he might have some advice. He’ll probably be a huge prick about it, but it’s worth a try."

Jordan's face pulled into concerned lines. "Is that a good idea? What if he knows you..." He trailed off, not wanting to mention Brandon here.

I shrugged. "If he knows, best I find out now so I can watch my back around him as well. I doubt he could, though, no one was around to witness the attack. It was chaos."

Jordan didn't look convinced; if anything his concern only grew the longer he stood there and contemplated what I'd said.

"When's your appointment? One of us should be there."

Starting to walk again, I checked my palm reader. "Haven't had a confirmation message yet. I'll let you know when I do."

Jordan, again, did not look satisfied by that, but he didn't argue with me. Instead he tightened his arm across my shoulder, keeping me anchored to his side. Between Jordan, Rafe, Mattie, and Nolan, I'd been alone exactly zero times today. I didn't like that they were jeopardizing their own educations, though, by missing classes to be in mine, but they assured me that they had it all worked out.

When we got to our table, Rafe was there alone, on his palm reader. I was pretty used to seeing him like that, but usually it was with a dark scowl on his face. Today he was smiling, and when I took the seat next to him, he flashed me the image so that I could see the twin’s newest drawings.
