Me: Okay oh my god I was NOT expecting this many comments ?? thank you guys SO much!! here's another chapter that i hope you guys enjoy <3

Keefe: Can we start already.

Sophie: Sorry about him, he's still salty...

Tam: *peeks in* Did I hear something about tea?

Dex: Why is it that ever since he's told us about his tea obsession, the only freaking thing he does is talk about it?? What happened to the emo brooding guy I once knew??

Tam: *dramatically falls on the ground* Woe is me.

Dex: There he is!

THE WHOLE SCHOOL HAD PHYSICAL education together every Tuesday and Thursday morning—the only session that wasn't one-on-one. Sophie was so nervous she couldn't even think about breakfast. She'd always been a disaster at anything physical. Her goal was to hide in the back and hope her Mentor didn't notice her.

Biana: Hey wait, didn't you like, punch a guy in the nose once?

Sophie: It was an accident! He was standing too close to my locker! How do you even know that??

Biana: I have my ways :]

The locker rooms were outside, sandwiched between a huge field of purple grass and the amphitheater that looked like a domed Colosseum. As soon as she set foot through the door, hundreds of girls stopped talking to stare at her.

Sophie kept her head down and rushed to what she assumed was her PE locker. Instead, the door led to a personal changing area, complete with shower and vanity. Her uniform hung from a hook near the door: blue tunic, black leggings, black sneakers—finally something without a cape. She changed fast, swept her hair into a loose ponytail, and emerged into the main room just as Stina and her minions stalked by like they owned the place.

Grady: *scoffs* The capes are the best part.

Edaline *side-eyeing Grady* Really?

Stina laughed when she spotted her. "I give the new girl six months before they ship her off to Exillium," she said, loudly enough for everyone to hear.

Tam: ...

Linh: ...

Linh: On the positive side, maybe you'd have met us earlier?

Dex: I'm going to make her bald again.

Marella: How about I just set her hair on fire?

Dex: Hell yeah

Fitz: You guys have too much power together, someone separate them please-

Tam: Can I join

Marella: ... depends.

Tam: On what???

Marella: If you're trustworthy enough!

Tam: And how am I supposed to prove that??????

Marella: Swear on your favorite tea.

Linh: *banging head on table* Again with the tea??

Tam: ...

Biana: Too chicken to do it? It's alright, Tammy <33

Tam: *coughs* I swear! I swear, I promise.

Dex: *whispering to Keefe* I think there's another reason he just did that...

The word "Exillium" felt like a slap. Sophie couldn't think of a reply.
