Ten minutes later, I felt even worse about my situation. I was required to show up to dinner every single night unless I had prior permission to skip or a note from the clinic. Getting caught in the restricted section would result in a 7-day detention just for the first offense. Obviously, they had some pretty potent magical stuff in there, otherwise why would they try so hard to deter you?

I skimmed over the maddening list of rules, appalled this was my life now. A quick glance at my phone revealed I had less than five minutes to get to class. I swore and jumped up, the handbook sliding onto the floor. I grabbed my pack and shot out the door, remembering at the last second to lock it.

Running through the halls, I wildly glanced around, trying to find my Illusions class. When I saw it on my schedule, I almost swallowed my tongue in fear until I remembered that illusion was considered a minor magic and wasn't all that uncommon. In fact, illusion magic was extremely popular come All Hallow's Eve time. I skidded around a corner only to see the ward of rooms I needed.

562. Illusions and Chaos Magic.

I had thirty seconds left to spare so I rushed into the classroom without a glance at anyone else and took the first seat available. It was only when I looked up that regret settled in my stomach like a lead balloon. To my right sat Brittney. She gave a smile that could only be described as anticipatory. To my left sat someone I'd never seen before, but she was just as pretty as Brittney and she had the same strange eyes. She was smiling at me, too.

I didn't dare look behind me for fear I'd find myself surrounded by stereotypical mean girls. I wasn't scared of them. Not exactly. I was scared of what I might do if they pissed me off. Giving myself away was not an option, so I was worried I might have to put up with bullying just to keep them from discovering who I was.

Less than a minute later, I knew I was right. It started with a single kick to the back of my chair and no apology. I ignored it.

The tardy bell rang and the Illusions professor strode in. She was an older woman, on the shorter side, with a high, gray bun and a pair of red spectacles sitting on her nose. Her eyes were a flinty dark gray.

"My name is Professor Cobalt," she pronounced. "This is a serious class and screwing up here could result in serious mental and physical repercussions. If you do not follow my instructions to the letter when you are here, you will be removed from my class and remanded to Mr. Mago." Her chilly gaze swept over us. "Are we clear?"

Murmurs of assent rang through the classroom. Seconds later, there was another kick on the back of my chair.

I squared my shoulders and turned around. A beautiful redhead sat there, chewing on her pen, and twirling a piece of her fiery hair.
