บท 12: The Dorms

The Crown

As I pull my belongings out of the sack, my mind can't shake off the lingering worry about Edward. The dorm has more secrets than anticipated. I hope he keeps himself safe and can dig out the information I need from the boys' dorm. I plan to go there tonight after the curfew starts. I need a way to deflect Seraphina. 

I have a feeling that Seraphina is very suspicious of me. The way she stares at me from the desk, makes my stomach roll with nervousness. I wish I could hear what she is thinking. 

"Is there anything you want to tell me, Seraphina?" I spin around, my curiosity getting the better of me. 

"Well, are we sure that you are a man?" Seraphina asks, raising her eyebrow slightly. 

"Huh?" I stammer, "What are you talking about? Do I look like a girl to you?" 

"No, it's just…" The crease between her eyebrows deepens, "It's very unusual to see such long hair around here let alone among the boys."
