was.
    She didn’t answer.
    I guess she didn’t want to lie. She had a robe and a towel in her hands.
    “Here,” She handed me the towel and she turned around while I got out of my wet clothes. “Sophie and I were looking for you. We didn’t know where you were until Robert told us.” She paused for a second. “Mia, don’t get mad but I was just wondering, do you like Robert?” She asked me.
    “No. I don’t like him or his little girlfriend.” I said without thinking about it. I’d planned to stay away from both. Nothing good could come from that relationship. “I hope no one expects me to go back to the ball.”
    “No. It ends at eleven thirty the latest and the ceremony is over. They‘re just dancing now. Don’t worry about it, you should get some rest. You have a long day tomorrow and school starts at eight.” She smiled trying to be helpful.
    “Don’t remind me.” The room was empty after we walked out of the restroom and I was grateful for that. “Umm... I’m sorry I know I made a big fuss over nothing, this was supposed to be your night and I made it about myself.”
    “No. You didn’t and what are friends for?” She gave me a hug.
    “Right, oh and Congratulations they finally recognized you and Sophie!”
    “Thanks, you too.”
    I rolled my eyes at that.
    “Well, I’m leaving you now. Don’t get in the shower again okay?”
    We both laughed at that.
    “Okay.” I said smiling. “Good night then I’ll see you tomorrow so text me or something.”
    “Yeah, what’s your number?”
    Luckily I remembered and gave it to her.
    “Got it, see ya!” She said as I shut the door.
    I went to bed and didn’t want to think about what an awful night I had.

ROBERT
    It was a nightmare from hell. That’s what it was. Mia had witnessed Genevieve’s little scene back in the room, not that I cared. But it was Gene throwing a fit. She wanted to skip her classes tomorrow with some friends to go shopping and I had told her not to. She tried persuading me that way, she thought she had me but I just didn’t want to listen to her anymore. Unfortunately we continued that conversation in her room.
    “I think you should attend your classes, shopping can wait for after school. Your grades are more important.” I stood by her door while she sat cross legged on her bed patting it, wanting me to go sit by her but I shook my head and she pouted.
    “What are you, my father? Look, screw my grades! It’s not like I have to do the work anyway.” She thought about what she had said. “Ops, don’t freak, ‘kay? I just don’t have time for it, so quit looking at me like that.” She stood from the bed and before she could come close to me, I gave up.
    “Do whatever you want. I just do not want your parents questioning me.”
    “They won’t. So you’re really not going to tell?” She put her hands on her hips.
    “No. I don’t know anything about it. Go ahead princess .” I said leaving her alone in her room.
    Back in my room, Mia was asleep. I wanted to talk to her but didn’t want to wake her. I knew what a hard day she had and how many more were coming her way. Our talk, would have to wait for tomorrow.

CHAPTER 10
MIA
    Feeling much better the next morning, I had made up my mind about many things. First I was going to ignore Robert and his girlfriend. Second, I was going to get to know Jack better, if he was supposed to be my mate then maybe we would be together in the future. Third I was going to do my best to follow the rules.
    After a shower, I returned to my armoire. Robert was in his bathroom. My uniforms were all different. For the first day I went with a flashy outfit. That was another thing, I was going to be more outgoing and if they wanted me to look like a superstar then that’s what I was going to do.
    My outfit consisted of a short skirt and the tank top with the sweater on top. The sweater was a dark red and the tank top was a navy blue, the skirt was black but instead of my zodiac sign
