“What a bitch!” Kate held her books to her chest as we walked to class the following day. “She really is the devil’s daughter.”

“It’s amazing what people do for revenge.” I scratched at my neck. Thanks to Kate’s potion, the marks were gone but my skin still felt irritated and dry. At least I didn’t have to wear a scarf anymore. “Oh, and to add to the drama that was yesterday, Finn slipped this note into my hand.”

I handed her the tiny fortune cookie-sized paper that read Don’t be sorry. I’m not.

“You think he means the fight?” Kate asked.

I shrugged. “Who knows. He made it clear Pearl and him were a couple. Not that I care.” After he accused Wolf of spreading the rumors and said Danielle wasn’t an evil manipulative bitch, I questioned his thought process.

We stopped in front of the classroom. On the wall was a colorful poster advertising the annual Christmas ball.

Kate groaned and tore it down, crumbling it into a wad. “Traditions here blow.” She tossed it into the wastebasket. “See you at lunch?” I nodded and turned into the room. “Hey, Norah?” I stopped and looked back at my friend. “I’m really sorry. I wish I could help.”

“You already are.”

Giving into Danielle wasn’t something I wanted. But I also couldn’t chance April’s stability. If I was the reason she hurt herself again, I’d never be able to live with myself. As a little security blanket, I stole the pills from Danielle’s medicine cabinet and replaced them with my allergy medicine. I was determined to find out what they were, but I wasn’t sure I felt comfortable talking to Kate about it.

Listening to the gossip of the other princesses, I knew Danielle and April did everything together—eat, drink, shop and their classes were all the same. We had two together: Dining and Etiquette, which April sucked at as much as me, and Dance. She was paired with the blond boy from tea.

I yawned all through my classes. The bed in my new room was horrible. It had to be made for someone who enjoyed sleeping in the woods, which I did not. The mattress was lumpy and rock-like and the comforter scratched me. The walls were made of stone, lacking life and color. And it was cold. Very, very cold.

Finally lunch came around. I grabbed a coffee from the line and plopped on the chair, letting my head fall into my hands. All day people had stared at me as if I was a weird science experiment.

“You look like crap.” I peeked through my fingers as Desiree sat in front of me chewing a granola bar. Today her eyes were honey and green. “Oh, and I heard the news. Everyone’s talking about Princess April.”

“Ugh, please, not you too.”

“Does that mean you and I are done?” she asked. “Cause if it does, I may have to light someone on fire. Or cast a wicked spell. Haven’t done that in, like, forever.”

I raised a brow. “Who are you? I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it.
