Sabrina was going to murder Stella.

She loved her best friend, she really did. It was impossible to be friends for someone that long and not love them. Last night she walked into her dorm after she parted ways with Riven and found Brandon sitting on their couch, claiming that Tecna let him crash there. The reason that he was not sleeping in his own room was that Sky was there . . . with Stella.

And Sabrina knew that Stella did not really owe him anything. They had a one-night stand and barely spoke after that which was the bitchy part. But then again, she would be a hypocrite to call her out on it after ghosting Riven after they did the same thing that Stella and Brandon did.

But Stella must have known that Brandon had feelings for her, right? Anyone with eyes could see that.

She had more than one reason to be cranky on the first day of class. One, Brandon and Stella. Two, Riven was being completely casual last night. And three, the fact that this was her first day being the teacher's assistant and she did not get one minute of sleep.

When she got to their common room, she immediately wished she never came out of the room that she and Tecna shared. Brandon was clearly on his way out when he bumped into Stella who was walking in. She was wearing the same clothes that she wore to the party last night and was holding her heels in her hand. Brandon clenched his jaw and opened his mouth to say something but ended up just sighing and shaking his head before he stormed out of the room.

Musa and Sabrina shared a look and then the former turned to raise an eyebrow at Stella, "Oh, that outfit is so similar to yesterday's. Same designer?"

"Do you know how I feel about that joke, or shall I tell you?" Stella asked, giving the empath a cold glare. "Where's Bloom?"

And there was reason number four. While she was out smoking with Riven, Stella gave Bloom her ring and told her that she should go outside the barrier to visit her parents. Which, of course, almost got her killed.

"Well, she had a rough night." Musa shrugged, "Thanks to you."

Stella must have sensed the glare Sabrina was sending her because she looked at her and deadpanned, "Don't judge me."

There was a sigh heard from the bathroom doorway before Tecna said, "No one is judging you, Stella."

"Wrong." Sabrina said solemnly, "I am. For more than one reason." She looked between Tecna and Musa and asked, "What exactly happened last night, anyway? You saw a Burned One, right?"

Musa nodded, "Yup. I didn't think those things were real, but we all saw them. It was creepy as hell. It looked like she wanted to kill her."

Sabrina has only ever dreamed about Burned Ones. She heard many stories and the fact that one of them killed her father only made her fear the creatures more. The main reason she almost burned her dorm to the ground last year was that she had a nightmare that included a Burned One.
