Hi guys!This is the second chapter I'm posting today SOOOOOOOOO... 

Enjoy <3 

Timeskip of 3 years.Magnus is 12, Dan is 10) 

It's been 3 years since I had first joined the academy.Every year,I watched as 40 theives were specifically chosen and made the way into the big world,serving V.I.L.E and every year,I longed to be one of them,seeing the world again after all this time,and finally feeling relieved knowing Emily's alright.I try my best to stay out of the big kids way, because I have no time for them and do not desire to get involved.


 I glance over at the window when I hear a rumble of thunder and the deafening sound of wind whipping the trees.A bunch of ominous grey clouds have gathered around the isle of vile.It starts pouring down and the torrential rain hammers against the window,staining it.The wind howls like a hungry wolf and rips leaves of the trees.The vicious wind blasts at the trees and they try to stand tall against the wind.Another rumble.And then a gold streak of lightning flashes across the ominous sky.More flashes and rumbles.The rain stops and so does the wind. 


I hear a knock at my door.I grumble before getting of my bed and open the door. 


"Yes?"I spit 

"Magnus,this your new roommate.I am currently busy so the rest is yours to deal with." 

Kravitz ushers in a boy with a red streak of hair. 

"But-" 

Kravitz shuts the door. 

I groan and sit down on my bed.He wears a crimson long sleeved top with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a crimson shirt.On top of his long sleeved top he wears an oversized coral rain coat which is soaked through.He has navy blue jeans and red sneakers. 

"Hi!My name's Dan!Dan Kouzo! What's yours?" He chirps and I notice that his eyes are ocean blue and his brown hair sticks to his forehead 

"Magnus." I mumble 

"That's such a cool name-" 

I chuckle and say,"I haven't even known you for that long,but I can already tell you're a handful.And don't bother me.I don't like people." Since I don't feel like talking to the new kid,I get up and leave the dorm and wonder around. 


*Dan's pov* 

The lady,whose name is Kravitz which I find out after pestering her and her yelling at me,escorted me to a random dorm as she's busy.A boy opens the door.He has magenta eyes,coal coloured hair and an oversized purple hoodie.He doesn't seem to pleased to see me!Maybe he's just in a bad mood.Kravitz ushers me in and shuts the door.I take in the place.It's compact,and neat.One bed is on one side and another bed is opposite is on the opposite and a black desk in front of the door.A small leather brown notebook is kept on it it,and a grey lampshade in the top right corner.Above it,is a bookcase cramped with thick, ancient books.And beside a window sill.I introduce myself and he does the same.He calls me a handful and then storms off.Rude! 


*Magnus's pov* 

The faculty have decided that they wanted to discuss something with Kouzo and I. 

"Yes?" 

"Magnus,we understand that you hate having roommates.But there is no other choice.And besides,you two will get on just fine! He's been let into the academy a little early like you.So you should be nice.And I don't want to hear any arguments.Thank you." 

I snarl and glance at Kouzo.Him?Let into the academy early?Only I was allowed in early,due to my talents.I cannot afford to let him one up me. I take a breath to compose myself.I am better than Kouzo.Even better than the older kids.They just don't want to put my into a class to soon in case it complicates things.They run the same trials on Kouzo as they did me.I grit my teeth as I am dragged through Kouzo's trials.The faculty applaud him and say things that they said to me.My blood boils and I ball my fists.


Why...?I was the faculty's favourite.Not him.I am the better thief!I can't restrain myself from anymore. 

"Kouzo doesn't deserve the praise! I'm the best thief here!Even better then the older kids!So why... why would you just allow him to walk in here and praise him for something he doesn't deserve?Kouzo has had an easy life!With loving parents- and and friends!He hasn't had to work nearly as hard as I have to make it where I am today!He doesn't deserve it!" I yell 

Kouzo looks at me with hurt in his eyes.And I turn away and struggle to breath normally and dig my nails into my palms.

"Magnus."Kravitz calls

I stand up and bolt out of the room. 


I curl up into a ball on the window sill.Yes,the faculty may be horrible and unjust people.But they are the closest things I have to the real love of a parent.I was the favourite.And then Kouzo just waltzes in here, uninvited,thinking he can take it all away.My heart aches and my throat burns.I am going to make his life a misery for doing what he did. 


*Dan's pov* 

The faculty take me to run on a treadmill for half an hour.My legs ache and my lungs burn and I absolutely hate running.But still,the faculty praise me for my skill when I finish.And then Magnus explodes 

"Kouzo doesn't deserve the praise! I'm the best thief here!Even better then the older kids!So why... why would you just allow him to walk in here and praise him for something he doesn't deserve?Kouzo has had an easy life!With loving parents- and and friends!He hasn't had to work nearly as hard as I have to make it where I am today!He doesn't deserve it!" He yells. 

Okay,maybe I'm a better thief and he's jealous,but he's wrong about one thing.My life hasn't been easy,either.Why would I end up in a school for crooks anyway?Firstly, he is just annoyed by my presence and then, he's jealous of me because I'm better and then accuses me of not deserving praise!And thinks I have an easy life!Well if it bothers him so much, just become better!But noooooo he had to be such a drama queen about it and tries to make people feel sorry for him.That's it.I officially hate Magnus. 


 A/N In case you don't understand,since Magnus is an orphan, he's never felt the love of a parent.And the faculty was the closest thing to feeling a parents love.The faculty were just praising Dan but Magnus doesn't see it that way.Instead,he thinks Dan is trying to take it away from him.So yeah!More chapters are coming soon don't worry!Thanks again for reading!
