Professor Reeves' class was in Building A, third floor, same room as always. The walk there involved passing approximately forty students who all suddenly found my neck fascinating. News traveled fast in this school. Faster when it involved visible evidence that someone had been doing something other than studying.
I took my usual seat near the back. Mera settled next to me, looking entirely too pleased with herself. Cheon sat three rows ahead with perfect posture and zero acknowledgment that we'd spent the last twelve hours doing things the academy handbook definitely didn't cover.
Nolan walked in with Aurora. They headed for the table I was at. Great. Aurora gave me one of those warm smiles that probably made Nolan's brain short-circuit on a regular basis. Nolan just looked friendly and earnest, which was somehow worse.
"Mind if we join?" Aurora asked.
"Go ahead."
