Morpheus

I said I'd meet Daisy in the library at seven, but I'm not sure if she’ll show up. Someone set fire to the gym and locked her inside with a bunch of Fringes. I'd be surprised if she wasn't affected. Phoenix said she cried when she saw the body of the Fringe killed in the act of vandalism—that's what the school administration is calling it. I don't know who’s buying that bullshit. It was obviously a murder attempt. The intended target is hard to tell. I'm sure the Norm thinks someone was trying to kill her, but I don't believe so. I also don't believe those two Fringe girls OD’ing on Silver-voltage is unrelated to yesterday's fire.

For now, I'm keeping my suspicions to myself. I don't want the guys to think my theory is linked to the fact that my parents are Fringes. I never gave a damn about the Fringes in this school before, and I'm not going to start now.

I head out before my roommates are even up, but I stop in front of Daisy's door. Fuck. I want her to be my tutor as much as I want my wisdom teeth pulled out. But I can’t flunk math, and Principal Fallon won’t allow me to pick another nerd.

Before I can talk myself out of it, I knock. Three times. Hard.

"Who is it?" Daisy asks. Her voice doesn't sound sleepy. She's been up a while.

I clear my throat, finding it suddenly dry. "Morpheus."

Daisy opens the door a sliver, peering at me through the small space with an air of alarm. "It's not seven yet."

"So, you were going to meet me at the library?" I ask like an idiot.

"You didn’t give me much choice." She opens the door a little more, allowing me to see that she's indeed ready to go.

Any decent person would ask her how she is. But I'm not decent, and I don't give a rat's ass about her well-being.

"Well, let's go, then."

"What? You want to go together?" She raised both eyebrows, her eyes big and round. They’re pretty, almond shaped and such a unique color.

Okay. What the hell? I did not just appreciate something about the Norm's appearance.

"Obviously. We're going in the same direction. If we don't walk together, one of us will be late."

"Right. Let me get my bag." She turns on her heels, and my traitorous eyes drop to her ass.

For fuck's sake. I must be losing my mind. It's one thing for Phoenix to take note of the girl's looks or for Rufio to lust after the Norm he claims to hate, but it’s quite another for me to do so. I know better than that. I sense every time I'm near Daisy that she's going to be our destruction. I'm not clear on how she's going to trigger it, but there's no doubt that she’ll be the catalyst of a big change in our world.

Maybe I should just kill her now and deal with Principal Fallon's wrath later. The shadows within me agree.
