"People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos, is because things are being loved and people are being used."

7:54 am | Tatum Vaughneton

I groaned and leaned over, shoving my pillow over Lorenzo's face. "I'm going to fucking smother you if you don't shut the fuck up."

He gasped and pushed the pillow off of his face, sitting up quickly. "Are you crazy? Stop trying to kill me you psycho! It's too early for this bullshit."

"You're snoring too bloody loud." I turned back over and closed my eyes. 

"Because I'm fucking tired." He laid back down, shifting around. "Go sleep in the hall if you can't deal."

"I'm not going to sleep in the hallway," I whispered, flipping my pillow over to the other side.

"I hope your pillow is warm on both sides." He spat, tugging the blankets to his side of the bed.

"Fuck you. This is not how you convince me to go out with you. And you were practically begging me to do so." I dragged with an exaggerated sigh.

"I did not beg you to do anything-"

"Aww, Enzo, baby, don't be embarrassed. I've had boys begging me before. Just... for different reasons."I smirked, scratching the tip of my nose.

He smacked my arm with a pillow. "Ew. Why would you tell me that? I don't want to know about that. Just go to bed."

I peeked open an eye, glancing at the clock. "It's eight."

"Hmm?"

I shot up, immediately grabbing his arm as my vision faded black for a moment before going back to normal. "It's eight in the morning! Holy fuck we're going to be so late."

He put his hand on my shoulder. "Chill out. Let's just calmly get up and take a light jog back to the castle."

"I can't stand you." I ripped the blankets off of my body and grabbed my shoes. I turned back around when I didn't hear him. "Get up!"

"Alright, alright." He shook his head and sat up slowly. "Calm down. We skipped a ton last year and you have grades that'll make the teachers excuse you for missing one class in the morning."

"I do not care. Get your ass up so we can go."

Lorenzo Berkshire

"Ms Vaughneton, why are you interrupting my class time?" The professor turned to me before I could back away. "And you too, Mr. Berkshire. Neither of you has my class right now."

"What?" Tatum's eyes widened slightly beside me as she adjusted her tie and tugged at the corner of her robes. "I have first period Astronomy."

I nodded to one of the girls at the desks.

"Ms Vaughneton, class schedules were changed and sent out to each student's dormitories last night. Were you not in your dorm last night?"

She clenched her jaw. "Of course I was. I was- I was unaware of any changes."

"Then you need to pay more attention. Now, I must continue my class. You can both go to the headmaster for your schedules."

I put my hand gently on her arm, motioning her to turn around so we could leave. "Sorry for the inconvenience, Professor."
