A hoodie would be nice right about now. Or two. Seriously, who ran the air conditioning in Hexember? It was like Grandhall wanted her to freeze.


    Bitch.


    Why? She probably had a nice purple bruise to prove it.


    look fair and just.


    Typical. Not only did Emberlyn’s father donate to the school’s mana arts program, but an incident like this would make Grandhall look bad. If he saw an easy way out, he would take it.


    Damnit, this can’t be good.


    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Again with pretending to care. Still, it couldn’t hurt to talk to someone. Talek knew she’d just make herself more miserable if she kept it bottled up.


    And that’s only true if you believe it. Emberlyn had won this round, but only because Akari took the bait. If she’d been patient and waited to get the footage . . . well, Emberlyn probably would have had a backup plan, but still. Golds weren’t invincible.
