I woke up choking on my breath and the dream being the last thing on my mind. A cold sweat covered the back of my neck, chest, and back, like a fingerprint of my dream, all the affected areas.

I sat up in our empty and dark room, trying to regain composure. I touched everything around me, trying to convince myself that this was reality, tangible, while that dream was a version of Bolton’s betrayal that didn't exist.

Turning over, I saw that my phone read 5:30 p.m., and it was hard to be mad. I wanted to casually sleep through Kate’s plans.

She hijacked my adventure and now my revenge too.

I leaned over, tugging the drawer open that kept Henry Jon’s pages safely hidden in the pages between the old binding.

I opened where I had left off last night. After the half serpent/half bull appeared for Rosalia, and Henry Jon was made a believer in something beyond good and evil.

Something, or someone, like Bolton, playing both sides and making it look easy.

When Bolton was good, he almost glowed, and the hard edges seemed personable.

When Bolton was bad, he made me question what real torture was when he had your body aching, but begging for more.

He was an enigma wrapped up in beauty and pain.

By the time I dragged my still heavy body out of bed, it was almost time for her “plan” to kick off amateur hour. Everything about Kate was meant to irritate your patience.

She was a typical mean girl, without the two-faced jabs. If she had a jab, she didn't pretend to be anything but herself—one face, one girl (typically in pink), and no filter for her attitude.

My phone kept buzzing against the wood of the bedside table, while I threw on whatever my greedy hands pulled out of my drawer. It didn’t really matter what I chose, as long as it wasn't this stiff uniform, which got me nothing, except for detention for the unique spin I constantly put on it. I wore thigh highs instead of tights, Doc Martens instead of loafers, and none of my uniform was ever as pristine as the other girls.

Tonight, some leggings, a crop top, and flannel tied around my waist would have to do. Nothing designer or ironed, just all me.

The field was starting to become flooded with people ready to cheer on the players, for both sides.

Exeter was a rival of Arcadia in every sport, and picking a side was half the fun. Their rival had everyone in the stands involved, invested, and intrigued.

After seeing the game myself last time they played, I was in shock at the push and pull. All my other schools were firmly either the loser or winner. There was no push or pull.

Arcadia wasn’t anything like my other schools. The prestige practically assaulted you with just a glance, never mind attending here.

I got to the girls’ locker room to change, since I went against my better judgment and tried out for the team. That wasn't even the shocking part.
