Aurora:
In a world where love had to be earned I would never be good enough. I was the black sheep in the family, the witch without magic.
While my sister excelled in every type of way I had to suffer in silence, tormented by the people I should ha...

It was Sunday, typically my least favorite day of the week. It was the day where everybody took some time off from their official duties, meaning that both my sister and my parents would usually be home. Despite my parents' presence my sister had oftentimes been bored. And her entitlement had only grown when she received backing by my parents. They chose to ignore her behavior while my defense was seen as offensive.
Oftentimes I would have to sit the day out in my lone room, waiting till Monday rolled around in order to avoid a disaster.
In the academy though, there was no day of the week that allowed slacking off. At least for the maids and that was what I also expected it to be like for the students.
But despite Sunday being my least favorite day I found myself consumed by joyful thoughts instead of heavy memories. Yesterday in the evening I had finally broken the feud between Ronan and I. My mind was more at ease now, feeling like I could handle the mess that still resided.
Of course, Davian had held a little party of two with his female friend. And what was left were dirty sheets and a room that smelled of sex and blood. It made me scrunch my nose but there was nothing I could do besides dropping the laundry off at the laundry room. I really hoped these stains would come out or there would be another pair of unusable bedding that needed to be replaced. And I hadn't even solved the problem with the first sheet.
I was walking along the halls, scrunching my nose whenever the smell reached my nostrils but even that couldn't stop the smile plastered to my face.
Finally I dropped off the laundry so I could get off to lunch. I had skipped lunch numerous times now since there was no reason for me to go. Daisy and I were far from fine and whenever I entered the room full of people but sat in a corner by myself I felt even more lonely than in the empty halls. It was embarrassing to be honest.
Everyone had already found a group of friends, they all appeared to be so happy while I was an outsider to this. Since I spent so much time in the training room I missed so much of the fun.
I didn't understand the rumors or the insiders so finding my way back into the community was near impossible.
But I couldn't worry about this when there had been way worse problems at hand. Maybe it was better to stay away from the crowds when I held so many secrets that could get me fired from here.
I left the lunch room feeling satiated with potato salat and cherries. An odd combination but I loved it.
I was just leaving the kitchen when I heard my name being called. The voice was familiar which confused me since its presence here made no sense. In fact, I had dreaded this moment.
I turned around, seeing Lilac standing in the door to the kitchen. She was dressed in her black school uniform while I was wearing the grey dress with a white apron that only the maids wore. The only thing that connected us were the shocked looks on our faces.
