Among the Stars (On Hiatus/Random Updates)

Is... is this an actual UPDATE?! Why yes it is. Lemme know what you think.

Did you notice the cover change? I also changed my bio. I've been feeling a little productive for the past few days.

The next chapter has some of the boys' pov's, Sang won't meet the Toma team for a hot second, but this is going to be a slow-burn so don't worry bout that.

Also a little disclaimer, I don't know any language other than English, I've been using google translate, so translations may be really bad.

*Sang POV*

8... Only 8 more days.

My fingers drift up to my right ear, messing with the crystals that dangled from the silver chain.

Sleep had never come easily for me, but tonight seemed to be especially difficult. Mixes of panic and excitement fight for control, forcing me to the edge of a panic attack.

It's fine, Sang. The Academy is backing you through the entire time you are at school and after this, you're out. It will be okay... Right?

I let out a quiet groan.

This week is going to be a mess. Stress from moving, being in a new school, turning 18 next week, moving out of this house, finishing my last concerts under Diane, hiding from academy members, doing espionage at Ashley Waters, figuring out the car situation, etc.

My brain runs on and on until I can't stay awake any longer.

Somehow I manage to drag myself out of bed 2 hours before school starts. It takes around 30 minutes to get ready, but I refuse to have a punishment before the first day of school. Continuing with my usual schedule, I stand at the top of the stairs and listen for any movement.

A grin splits my face when I deem it safe and I make my way down, making as little noise as possible.

My hands slip through my dirty blonde hair twisting it into a clip as I walk into the kitchen. I had already taken note of what we had and decided to make peanut butter toast with yogurt on the side. Butterflies continued to fly around in my stomach, so I settled with making 4 plates and just taking one slice of toast for myself.

Shifting from Diane and Richard's room snapped me out of my morning silence. My face blanks of any emotions while I set the last plate onto the island. I glance at the clock right as the shower turns on.

1 hour left.

❖

The full-length mirror standing on my wall had become my best friend within the past 50 minutes. I had been picking out all my flaws resulting in multiple makeup applications over my scars and multiple clothing changes.

Diane and Finn had woken up and were getting ready. Diane being awake was my biggest issue right now. Richard had left a while ago and Marie was still asleep, so Diane was the only one I would have to face, she was also the most unpredictable.

I draw in a breath and go downstairs.

Finn, sitting at the island, notices me first and gives me a large grin. His dark blue eyes dance with joy too great for the first day of school. Even though he's 2 years younger than me, he's one head taller. My insecurity spikes as I see him dressed in a faded band tee, and loose ripped jeans.

Piercing eyes land on me and I clasp my hands behind my back.

"Не шути. (Don't whore around.)" Diane practically growls at me before she slips back to her room.
