FREYA.The sound of people screaming shook the whole college long before I even reached the main building. It had only been one week since summer break ended, but Willow College already looked like it had never been quiet. Students filled every walkway, laughing, running, and wearing the blue-and-silver colors of our school. The biggest event of the month was happening today, a friendly hockey match against our oldest rival, and everyone acted like it was the most important thing in the world. I pulled my backpack closer against my shoulder and wished I could disappear before anyone noticed me.Everywhere I looked, people were talking about the game. Some were waving banners while others painted each other's faces with blue stripes.

I stared at my bedroom ceiling for a long time, wishing I could skip the entire day.Getting dressed felt like the hardest thing in the world. My school uniform suddenly felt too tight, and even brushing my hair seemed exhausting. Grandpa noticed how quiet I was during breakfast and gave me a worried look over his newspaper. Draven was already gone, probably meeting Maddox before classes started. The thought made my stomach twist into painful knots."Are you feeling alright, sweetheart?" Grandpa asked gently.I forced a small smile."I'm just tired.""You studied too much again, didn't you?"I nodded, even though it was a lie."You need to re
