"Nothing to me. But Ms. Kirova will probably have something to say when she finds out you used magic against another student.” "That wasn't an attack," she scoffed. "And it wasn't me. It was an act of God.” A few others laughed, much to her delight. In my imagination, I responded with, So is this, and then slammed her into the side of the church. In real life, Lissa simply nudged me and said, "Let's go.” She and I walked off toward our respective dorms, leaving behind laughter and jokes about our wet states and how Lissa wouldn't know anything about specialization. Inside, I seethed. I had to do something about Mia, I realized. In addition to the general irritation of Mia's bitchiness, I didn't want Lissa to have to deal with any more stress than she had to. We'd been okay this first week, and I wanted to keep it that way. "You know," I said, "I'm thinking more and more that you stealing Aaron back is a good thing. It'll teach Bitch Doll a lesson. I bet it'd be easy, too. He's still crazy about you.” "I don't want to teach anyone a lesson," said Lissa. "And I'm not crazy about him.” "Come on, she picks fights and talks about us behind our backs. She accused me of getting jeans from the Salvation Army yesterday.” "Your jeans are from the Salvation Army.” "Well, yeah," I snorted, "but she has no right making fun of them when she's wearing stuff from Target.” "Hey, there's nothing wrong with Target. I like Target.” "So do I. That's not the point. She's trying to pass her stuff off like it's freaking Stella McCartney.” "And that's a crime?” I affected a solemn face. "Absolutely. You've gotta take revenge.”
"I told you, I'm not interested in revenge." Lissa cut me a sidelong look. "And you shouldn't be either.” I smiled as innocently as I could, and when we parted ways, I felt relieved again that she couldn't read my thoughts. "So when's the big catfight going to happen?” Mason was waiting for me outside our dorm after I'd parted ways with Lissa. He looked lazy and cute, leaning against the wall with crossed arms as he watched me. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean.” He unfolded himself and walked with me into the building, handing me his coat, since I'd let Lissa go off with my dry one. "I saw you guys sparring outside the chapel. Have you no respect for the house of God?” I snorted. "You've got about as much respect for it as I do, you heathen. You didn't even go. Besides, as you said, we were outside.” "And you still didn't answer the question.” I just grinned and slipped on his coat. We stood in the common area of our dorm, a well-supervised lounge and study area where male and female students could mingle, along with Moroi guests. Being Sunday, it was pretty crowded with those cramming for last-minute assignments due tomorrow. Spying a small, empty table, I grabbed Mason's arm and pulled him toward it. "Aren't you supposed to go straight to your room?” I hunkered down in my seat, glancing around warily. "There are so many people here today, it'll take them a while to notice me. God, I'm so sick of being locked away. And it's only been a week.”
