A faint shiver went through Hannelore as she arrived early in the commons. Perhaps it was a premonition of Rozemyne’s reformation of Star-Cross Day. Less superstitiously, it was that the Alexandrian’s area was busier than usual.
She’d been successful in dodging Sorrona, Rozemyne’s Alexandrian book buddy, for the last week on instructions from home. Further contact was undesirable until it was clear what Rozemyne and Ferdinand’s intentions were. Their gift of the Shumil book reader had opened a can of worms that Hannelore’s parents were desperately trying to deal with. What could it mean?
She glanced across the room again. The number of Alexandrians was a bad omen.
“What’s going on?” Hannelore fretted. Had her timing misfired again?
Elusia answered, “They are celebrating Star-Cross Day, an Alexandrian holiday. It has strange customs: the girls give the boys bugs. I hope no one sent live insects this year. There’re stories of them escaping and infecting the school.”
One of the celebrating students approached Cordula. Distracted by this, Hannelore replied vaguely. “Oh.” Dread flooded her being. She had definitely come to the commons at the wrong time. She should have #skipped coming here and eaten breakfast in the dorm.
A prediction proven true when her head maid returned, saying, “Lady Sorrona would like to approach.”
