Chapter 101

As soon as we got through the door all the chatter died down and every single head turned to my direction.

“Welcback to class, Queen Dylan. Please take a sent.” | nodded to Mrs Mathews and walked over to where

my old seat was only to find a boy named Peter sat in it. | frowned at him, I'd sat in that seat for years. That was

my seat, it might as well have had my non it.

“Can you move please?” | asked, did | have a harshness to my voice? Yes | did. But | was somewhat polite to my

old peer.

“Mated humans sit on that side of the room. You said that yourself.” | could feel anger rising in me, but also some

form of desperation for normality. That was my seat, was it childish, yes, and there were other chair available,

but | wasn’t mated, and | wasn’t sitting anywhere else.

“I'm not marked, I'm not mated, and | want my seat. Now move!” | was shaking with both rage and fear as |

looked at my old classmate, he nodded his head and stood up quickly in order to move, but a large noticeable

flinch leftwhen he jerked his arm up to take his bag off the back of his chair.

“Sorry... | wasn't going to...” | cut the poor guy off before he could even say the words as | shook my head.

“I know... just move, please?” He nodded and walked to the back of the room leavingstood behind my old

chair. | just stared at it for a moment while the class remained silent, | don’t know why | was feeling such inner

turmoil. | had absolutely no idea what was in store fornow that | was back, and | hated the unease 1 felt.

Still with a deep breath | managed to pull the chair out and sit down stiffly. | tapped my thumb repeatedly on the

desk before grabbing rhythmic hand with my other one and shoving them under the desk out of sight. My nerves

were full force as | took a deep breath and looked up slowly at the teacher. Her sight remained onthough,

but | couldn’t hold her gaze.

“Hmm, ok... Right, Nick you can sit next to Queen Dylan and share your text book, everyone turn to page 67, as

we will be continuing our Introduction to Quantitative Chemistry, that we started last week.”

What? | hadn't studied at all while | was away with the king never mind actually starting a new topic that was

clearly going to go completely over my head.

| watched Mrs Matthews write sstuff on the board as | tried to retain the information given to me, everyone

else in the class seemed to be keeping their heads down while | was looking both everywhere and nowhere at

once. When my attention was grasped by Erin who | found was staring directly at me, after | turned to face her.

“What is the king like?” Wow, of all the inconsiderate, blunt questions to ask| was met with that one. |

shrugged at her question and sighed when she asked again. “What is the palace like?”

“Ok, that is enough, I'm sure Queen Dylan will have plenty of tto answer your questions during her lunch

break. Until then everyone is to get on with their work.

| let out a small sigh of relief. | had no intention of answering any questions that were asked by anyone. | just

wanted to keep my head down and not draw any attention to myself. The last think | wanted was to be

humiliated by the king here in my hdistrict.
