Lilieth "Alright!" is the first thing Deo says as soon as she wakes up in the morning. I'm standing beside the window, peering out of it, dressed in my uniform. "That's what I'm talking about. Wait for me—we'll head downstairs together. I just need to get washed up and we'll be good to go." "Don't be late," I press. "I like to be early." "Oh, I know," Deo claims as she runs her fingers through her disheveled hair. It's sticking up everywhere like she's been electrocuted, making her look even crazier than she does on a regular basis. "Trust me, I'll be ready." We make it downstairs on time, as she promised, and of course, Instructor Golen is already there. Usually, he won't really acknowledge me the way he does the others, but he'll always look at me. Today, he doesn't spare me a sin
