It’s hard to concentrate for the rest of the class, Dante continues with his inappropriate comments after everything that Professor London says. Professor London’s eyes inexplicably flash every time Dante speaks, even though there’s no way that he can hear what Dante is saying.

Does everyone in the room have superhero hearing or something?

I sigh and take a wistful look at the clock. It’s going to be a long year.

Chapter 9

Lunchtime can’t come quick enough, and neither can leaving Professor London’s class. The tension in the room had been a bomb ready to explode.

Mercy nudges my shoulder with hers as we stroll down the corridor. “Seems Professor London has competition.”

I glance over at her, arching a brow, knowing exactly where she’s going with her comment. “Whatever was going on in class has nothing to do with me.” Though I’m kidding myself because they all circled me, stared at me with a hunger in their eyes, reacted so aggressively to one another like a pack of predators ready to attack a deer lost in the woods.

Mercy fake laughs, her hand pressing to her stomach. “And I’m the Queen of England. I see the way you look at them all, and maybe they’ve picked up on your little crush. I mean, every girl in school has a crush on Professor London... and them. Although, it’s annoying how the untouchable guys get away with anything and walk around the school like they’re gods; the girls seem to love it though. And somehow, you’ve caught their eyes... How did you manage that?” She rambles on from one thought to the next without pause.

I shrug, unsure about any of it, but I can’t deny that having such gorgeous guys studying me does things to my confidence. No one’s ever looked at me this way before.

The cafeteria is packed today as we head over to the line to get our food. Chattering and laughter fills the room, and as always, most of the scholarship students sit gathered close, while the rest of the seats are occupied by the beautiful ones. There must be an unwritten rule that to be rich and have everything handed to you on a silver platter, means you also get to look spectacular.

“What are you getting today?” Mercy asks as she reaches for a bowl of mac and cheese.

I take the packed container titled, roast with mashed potatoes and peas. “Feel like something that reminds me of home.”

“I spoke to Mom last night and they’re going on a trip to Vegas, without me.” Mercy pouts. “I honestly feel like they’re happier with me gone from home.”

“They’re definitely missing you.”

“Yeah, all the way from Vegas,” she drones sarcastically.

We make our way to an empty spot at the end of a table and sit across from each other, placing our meals down. “Well, Dad did say I was grounded for life after he caught me with my neighbor. Maybe he meant it and that included me not going on family vacations.”

“Speaking of your neighbor, do you keep in touch with him?”

I take a mouthful of mashed potatoes, loving their creaminess.
