The rest of the week was brutal. It was two weeks before Christmas, and a lot of schools had decided it would be a brilliant idea to take field trips to the market instead of actually teaching kids before the winter break. That meant all of us elves were up to our eyeballs in screaming seven-year-olds, mischievous ten-year-olds who thought they could get away from their teachers, and thirteen-year-olds who thought they were better than everyone else.

I was mocked for dressing like an elf so many times that I was ready to start tattling on kids to their teachers and chaperones just to see them get taken down a peg.

What I actually did was head in to the office to ask that my hours be switched to early morning stocking duties so that I could arrive way before dawn and leave at lunchtime. Fortunately, they let me do that.

“Are you sure you don’t want to take a few days off entirely?” Mr. Adams, the market coordinator, asked as he handed me the key that would allow me to get into everyone’s booths after hours to restock them. “You’ve been looking a little rough around the edges this week. You can take a few vacation days, you know. It’s part of your contract.”

“I’m fine,” I said, shrugging, then rolling my shoulders. “I like the work. It keeps my mind off…things.”

I didn’t elaborate on what things. Like Rudy’s absence and the fact that I had fallen into a constant loop of imagining that he would get back together with his omegafriend Carol and never come back for me. Or the constant physical discomfort I’d felt since my mini heat and the list of all the things I was certain were wrong with me. Or even the fact that I received a big, fat rejection from Butterfield University. That was more or less it for me for my dreams of becoming a doctor, although I still hadn’t heard back from Barrington University.

Everyone else had rejected me, so I wasn’t holding breath there. It was way past the date when BU said they would be telling people, one way or another, if they got in. The only thing worse than getting a rejection letter was getting no response at all, like they found it so ridiculous that an omega would apply that they tossed my application in the trash. I had interviewed with them, and I thought it had gone well, but they could have just brought me into the office for entertainment and then laughed about me once I’d left.

“I think some rest would do you a world of good,” Mr. Adams said as he caught me in my downward spiral of gloom. “I think you might be coming down with something.”

“No, really, I just want to work,” I told him.

Mr. Adams smiled, plucked one of the candy canes from the mug on the corner of his desk and stood to lean over and hand it to me. “At least get some sugar in your system.
