Three doors were left open to me when I passed through the entry to my own private hell. Turned out door number four was actually a direct line to the cafeteria and I told myself maybe I should have just taken it in the first place. But that would have meant missing Rupe and Simon and finding out about Darin.
Not to mention the happy hum of satisfaction from my demon. Okay then, long walks to the caf every day it was. Who knew what fun we could have?
I stood there a moment, looking at the doors, closely tempted to wander into the cafeteria instead of my pending class, just to see what would happen, but decided not to push my luck. I might have been feeling much more myself and even a tad more aggressive than usual-okay a whole bunch more-but I had to go to school here for three years. And since the institution itself hadn't done anything to annoy me I could at least try to play by the rules.
