Keeping Salem awake was a challenge—Oriel was right. Professora Romero is lively and engaging, if not a little snooty, but the minute she turned on the screen and dimmed the lights, it was a battle. I wanted to focus on her lecture about the history of verbal storytelling at its earliest roots—especially since I didn’t grow up attending schools that teach this material. I needed the review of the oral and pictorial origins of demon lore and the subsequent literature. However, the hulking, cuddly panda next to me kept laying his head on my shoulder. His face buried in the crook of my shoulder, a rumble of happiness setting in when he dozed.

My body couldn’t decide if I should panic at the touch or warm from head to toe with fuzzy, sparkling sensations that made me squirm in place.

Every time I had to elbow him awake, my mind went cuckoo with relief and regret. My anxiety spiked and I could barely hear the lecture to take notes as I worked through my exercises mentally. Oriel seemed to notice, though he did nothing to stop it, but I saw him taking diligent notes. I highly doubted someone as smart and observant as he needed to, and when he handed them to me at the end of class, I gave him a relieved smile. He reminded me that the caliphate takes care of one another and sauntered off with my roommate, leaving me to head for the amphitheater to meet Xerxes.

I know little about them other than they focus on design and clearly have a very intimate relationship with Anton. The two of them are stunning separately, but together? I don’t know how I’d handle seeing anything more than PG shit. It makes me feel weird because I’ve never been overtly sexual since the incident—in fact, the opposite. My new ‘gang’ is brimming with smug, entitled rich kids, but I can’t deny how they affect me.

Even that fucking asswad Jasper’s bullying control shit is hot and I hate feeling that way.

“Get your shit together, Kit,” I mutter under my breath as I speed walk across campus. “You’re not here to be a giggling twit fawning over hot dudes. This place is a means to an end. You have to survive it—that shit will only lead to trouble. Besides, you’re a boy, and the few that seem interested in that menu are taken.”

Dottie pops out of my bag, climbing onto my shoulder and chitters softly. I reach into my pocket to pull out one of the small snacks Salem sent for her, smiling to myself. Her tiny hands grab it quickly and I chuckle. The panda might not stay awake in class after three p.m., but he definitely got the reserve food idea right. I’ll thank him when I get to dinner—if he’s even awake and present.

The Discordia Arts & Creative Pursuits Amphitheater Complex comes into view, and my eyes widen. I know there are big cities at home with huge outdoor performance spaces like this, but I’ve never seen one.
