Until then, as much as it pained me to say it, I understood Syn. Ultimately, he was a victim too, suffering the loss of his brother. I don’t know why I thought it would be as simple as changing my name and trying to avoid him, but I understood why he was angry at me for being here.

But there was no reason to bring Penny into this.

No matter what bullshit he said about not being able to control how others acted, he was responsible for this. Any sympathy I had towards him had disappeared when he made me choose between keeping a best friend or keeping her safe.

My phone screen has gone black, but it lights up as my alarm goes off, ready for my breakfast shift.

Moving like a zombie, I dress in the work uniform, brush my teeth, then fix my hair and makeup before heading out. As I step into the corridor, I stare up at the little red light in the camera opposite my door. The addition was there when I returned to my room to wash the health shake off me and change into my college uniform.

Syn wasn’t lying when he said he had eyes everywhere, but this was a much too obvious statement.

I glance over at Penny’s door before locking mine. Then I leave the dorm and head to the dining hall. Today, Doris has me in the back for the whole shift, and I’m grateful.

Since working here, I’ve realized that there’s an unwritten rule with the kitchen staff. Behind the doors, where the students don’t go, it’s almost like a sanctuary. Because when you’re out front, no matter what the students say or do, you take it, or you turn a blind eye to it.

I know everyone here is aware of what’s been happening to me, but back here, no one mentions it. I just get sad smiles and looks of pity.

When my shift is over, I get my breakfast. I’ve not got much of an appetite, but I grab a bagel and a coffee. Trying to ignore everyone, I find a table in the corner, but I’ve been scanning the crowd, looking out for that familiar pink hair. Either she ate earlier, or Penny skipped breakfast today. Either way, it means I can eat alone and not worry about her trying to join me.

I’ve barely sat down before a shadow falls over my plate. Looking up, I find Dawn glaring down at me. She’s one of this year’s initiates for the Elite, and I know this because she’s wearing a maid uniform.

Most maid uniforms are plain and modest. Usually a dress, but the skirt falls past the knees, and the sleeves usually fall to the elbow or longer. We used to have a maid, as did most of my friends.

The uniform Dawn is wearing isn’t quite “Halloween” French Maid costume, but that’s only because there’s a couple of extra inches in the skirt and covering her cleavage. All the initiates that serve Syn, Royal and Gemini have to wear a uniform.
