Prologue
⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆☽Ⓛ❈Ⓒ☾⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆
Bria’s POV.
‘Bri, it’s your sixteenth birthday next weekend. Please tell me why you are sat in the library revising, instead of planning your party!’ My best friend, Sage, whines at me.
I roll my eyes, but keep them focussed on my Maths textbook.
‘In case you’ve forgotten, Sage, we have our exams in less than two months. This is important, I’m revising.’
Sage scoffs and I finally look up at her. She’s leaning back in the chair, pushing it onto two legs. The thing teachers specifically ask us not to do. Her auburn hair is tied up in a messy bun and her green eyes are glowing with mischief.
‘I don’t know anyone who comes into school early to revise,’ she says, her voice teasing.
‘Yes, you do. You know me.’
She laughs at my response and, before I can stop her, she whips the textbook out from in front of me.
‘Hey!’ I protest. ‘Give that back!’
‘Nope. It’s form time, come on.’
The bell rings, signalling the start of the school day.
Sage and I are complete opposites in many ways. I’m practical, she’s reckless, I’m nervous, she’s adventurous, she has experience with boys, I have none.
I’m the Beta’s daughter, I’m expected to set a good example. My parents have raised me well and I know how to behave. At school, I try hard and I’m excelling in my classes. At home, I help out with my siblings.
Because I don’t get involved with drama or boys, I’m friends with almost everyone at school. But I only have two friends that I’m close to.
I’m the oldest at fifteen, I have four siblings. The twins, who are two, my younger sister, who is four and my younger brother, who is six. My parents have their hands full, so I help out whenever I can.
Sage and I go to our lockers, to collect our books for our first two lessons. I place them in my bag, zip it up and swing it over my shoulder.
We are in the same form, so we walk down the corridor together. It’s bustling with students, there’s over a thousand of us in this school.
The crowd parts slightly and soon, I see why.
Rhett Tiercel and his friends are striding right through the middle of the hallway. People part for them, because you really don’t want to get in their way.
Another two girls, Sage and I, all realise too late. The four of us are rudely bumped out of the way by the three males storming through, without a second thought.
The two girls opposite Sage and I, are shoved unceremoniously into the lockers. I...
