I hadn’t realized how long she’d been standing there, but it hardly mattered. If anything. I was glad Lylah had heard everything: the praise from Professor Vale, the admiration in my friends voices, the quiet envy they couldn’t quite hide.

Let her see it all. Let her feel the difference between us.

Because every time I saw her, she was alone.

A lone wolf, they called it. Lone wolves were usually the ones no one chose. I called it what it was-pathetic.

“Lylah,” I said, letting sweetness lace my voice as I turned toward her. “Why stand so far away? Come closer, if you’re so interested in our conversation.”

“Lylah, come here,” Seraphina chimed, her tone bright but edged with mockery.
