“Wait, Rogue Royal. As in the Royal in Royal Crown Academy?” I ask.
“Yup. His family started the school five centuries ago. His great-great-great grandkids’ names are already on the list to come to RCA.”
“He sounds like he could ruin your life if he wanted to.”
Six leans towards me. “He could ruin it with the snap of his fingers. That is an enemy you do not want to make.”

I wake up the next morning and amble bleary-eyed into the kitchen. We’d continued chatting well into the night, eventually swapping the beers for champagne.
My body craves carbs and Alka-Seltzer, not necessarily in that order.
I throw a bagel in the toaster and am taking the eggs and bacon out of the fridge when Thayer walks through the front door, fresh from a run.
“You make it really hard to be your friend when you go on these 6am runs you know.”
“Baby B, you can thank those 6am runs for getting me to Switzerland.” She says, blowing me a kiss as she walks to the bathroom. Stopping at the door, she turns back towards me.
“I think we’re going to be happy here.”
“Agreed. Breakfast is coming right up. Are you still pretending to be vegan or can I put cheese in the omelet?”
My laughter follows her as she gives me the finger and closes the bathroom door. Moments later my phone dings on the counter.
Thayer: Just put the damn cheese in.

Twenty minutes later, we’re eating breakfast when Nera and Sixtine join us.
“There are eggs and bacon in the pan on the stove if you guys want some.”
“Fresh breakfast? You spoil us.” Nera says, serving a heaping helping of eggs onto her plate.
“Yeah, I could get used to this.” Six adds as she sits next to me. “After breakfast, we can take you to the main building to get your schedule if you want.”
“That’d be great. Is that the building where our classes will be?”
“Most of them, yeah. Except for any science courses, those are in the building known as ‘the lab’. I think I pointed it out to you yesterday.”
“Oh yeah, I remember it.”
“The real question now ladies is,” Nera adds with a dramatic pause, “Should we walk or take a golf cart.”
“Dibs on driving the golf cart!” Thayer exclaims.
“Sounds like golf cart it is.”
“Hope it comes with seatbelts.” I deadpan.
Nera sends me a quizzical look. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing, please just ignore her. She sometimes rambles unintelligibly before she has her morning carbs, you’ll have to forgive her.” Thayer says with a sweet smile in my direction.
