L’s POV
“L! Are you okay? What happened?” Ba asked as she caught up with me. I was walking toward
the student lounge after I left Headmaster Prescott’s office and my head was still whirling from all the
information that was just given to me. I looked at Ba who stared back at me with concern in her
eyes. I went to open my mouth to answer but then the crackling of the campus speakers stopped me
“Good: afternoon, students. This is Headmaster Tiffany Prescott. I know you are all wound up after the
events unfolded earlier today, and I wanted to personally apologize to each of you for not realizing
something was going on and putting an end to it right away: Going forward we are going to be putting
in some extra security to ensure that nothing like this happens again. The school counselor is also
opening her doors to any students for the next couple of weeks so you can see her without an
appointment. My doors, along with my fellow board members‘ doors, will also be open to anyone
needing some extra guidance in these unforeseen weeks. I assure you that the issue at hand has been
dealt with and nothing like this will ever happen again. I’d like to remind students that using their
abilities on one another is forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or
anyone you know is in fact using their abilities on their peers, I advise that youe forward. We will
be looking into all students with abilities and if we find you are using your abilities dishonorably, we will
be forced to take measures. I know it’s been a long day for many of you so I’m canceling sses for
the rest of the day and I suggest each of you get some rest to recoup. Dinner will be served per usual
in the dining hall at 5 pm” She paused for a moment, only allowing the light buzzing of the speaker to
roam around the campus ground. Ba and I stood, staring up at the sky as if Headmaster Prescott’s
face was there. “Also let me be the first to congratte L for winning the election and bing the
first–ever President of the Student Committee. First thing Monday morning L will begin her duties
and her first meeting with be held Monday at 2 pm If anyone wants to join themittee, please see

Others who were passing by also stopped to give me quick hugs and congratte me. I smiled at them
and hugged them back, pretending to be as excited as I could be Don’t get me wrong 1 was very
pleased to be in charge of the studentmittee. It was exactly what I wanted, but I didn’t like how it
happened. I only won by default because Sarah cheated and got disqualified I also couldn’t seem to

“Where’s Brody asked her. She frowned at me and nced at the student lounge. He said he was
going to sit i there until your meeting was over,” she said I didn’t say anything more. I turned away and
ran right into the student lounge where I was met with a crowd of students who were all cheering for me
I smiled at them trying of get past them but they wouldn’t let me go any further without hugs and
praises As much as I appreciated it. I really needed to see Brody Thankfully, he appeared amongst the
crowd and though I could see the worry and sadness lingering in his eyes, he met me with arge grin
and opened his arms out for me to walk into. I’m so happy for you,” he said as he tightened hus hold on
me “Thank you.” I said, peering up at him. “Are you okay”” He didn’t anwer me, but he gave me a sad

of trouble,” I finally said after a long silence. He nodded, not looking at me. “I figured,” he murmured.
“She didn’t get expelled. though. I said. “But she is kind of grounded. She can’t go anywhere other than
the dining hall, her sses, and the library. Oh, and her dorm.” He met my eyes. “So, she didn’t get
kicked out?” “Nope.” I said, giving him a small smile. She did not. She also owned up to her mistake,
despite her father trying to get her to shut up. She admitted she manipted their minds and that she’s
at fault.” A small smile appeared on his lips. “She did?” I nodded, keeping my eyes locked on his “But

head to the side. “I thought it was Scott who did that?” “It was,” I admitted. “Bur Scott was the one who
told me about Sarah’s abilities and that she used it on him and her group of friends a lot. He told me it
was her that got him to vandalize the exhibit. I didn’t believe him at first…” I paused to gather my
thoughts. “But I think I believe him now.” He lowered his gaze. “Are you going to turn her in?” I was
quiet for a moment; truth be told, I wasn’t sure. But after a moment I sighed. “No…” I finally answered.
“But I think Sarah needs to do the right thing and turn herself in. Scott lost a lot because of that. His
family paid a lot of money to get that exhibit fixed. Scott was also kicked off the football team and lost
most of his friends and the respect of his peers. He also now has a police record. It’s not fair to him to
get in trouble for something he had no control over I think Sarah needs to do right by him.” “And you
think I can convince her to do that?” He asked, furrowing his brows together. “I doubt she will listen to a
thing I say.” “No, I’m not asking you to speak to her. I’m trying to get you to understand that Sarah is not
a walk in the park and if you want to be with her, you have to understand who you are signing up for…”
I paused for a moment when I saw the struggle on his face. I reached my hand across the table and
took hold of his hands in mine. “Brody, I care about you. You’ve be one of my best friends and I
have so much respect for you. I would hate for Sarah to turn you into something you’re not like she did
with Scott. I want you to keep yourself protected.” “I think I can handle myself just fine, L, I’m not
exactly a weak boy like Scott..” He sounded bitter when he spoke Scott’s name. Not that I could me
him. “I don’t doubt that,” I said softly. “I know you’ve been wanting to talk to her. She should be leaving
the board building right about now and probably heading to her dorm. It’s not like she can go anywhere
else other than the library and I somehow doubt she went there. You can probably catch her on her
way there.” He quickly stood to his feet. “Thank you.” he said to me, bowing slightly. “Oh, by the way,
can I still be part of themittee? Like I wasst year?” I smiled fondly at him. “Of course,” I said in
return, standing to my feet. “I have to do some recruiting to see who wants to remain on themittee
and who wants to join. I’m d to have you on board.” His grin widened. “Despite Sarah being my mate
and our future being up in the air; I’m d you won.” I smiled in return, trying to make it as genuine as
possible. “Me too.” I said in return. “Oh, before you leave, have you seen Rachel anywhere?” He shook
his head. “Not since the election. She disappeared when everything got weird,” he said, scratching his
head. “Actually, she left very quickly. I blinked and she was gone. I was so focused on Sarah that I
didn’t even think about it.” “Hmmmm,” I said thoughtfully. “Okay, well thanks.” He gave me a wave
before running out of the student lounge, leaving me alone with my thoughts. “Looking for Rachel?” A
girl asked as she walked by my table. “Yes, have you seen her?” I asked, standing to my feet. “I saw
her leaving campus a couple of minutes ago. I think she was with her father and Alpha Jonathan.”
