“Looks like we’re neighbours.”
“Yipee,” she drawls sarcastically.
After a quick stop at the uniform shop, Mackenzie has one to start, and the others will be sent to her room.
On our way to the dorms, we pass by the oval as I give her a tour. I stop for a second when I see Onyx stretching.
“Oh nice, who is that?”
“Mine,” I growl, just as Onyx looks up and jogs over to us.
“What’s with the power suit?” On asks, frowning.
“Your dad took me to spring Mackenzie from lock up.”
“Hi, I’m Mackenzie,” she says, holding out her hand. In typical Onyx fashion he looks down at her hand and dismisses her. She pulls her hand back.
Onyx pulls me into his deliciously sweaty, shirtless body and kisses me.
“Slate and I need to talk to you tonight,” he teases with a wink and pulls away, running back to where the rest of his class is.
“Is he always so arrogant?”
“You may want to learn to reel in your thoughts. A Knox is not someone you want to talk trash about, and especially not my boyfriend.”
“Sorry, can I ask who Slate is?”
“Onyx’s twin brother. I may as well tell you now so you have time to process it all. There are four Knox brothers. All of them are my boyfriends. Yep, all four. And all four are the headmaster’s sons. Knox, as in welcome to Knox Academy.”
“No judgement here, whatever floats your boat is your business. If they all look like that one, you’re one lucky bitch.”
I chuckle at her comment, though I really need to work on being a boss and not a friend. I guess that will all come in good time.
We make our way to the dorm and I show her to her room. It’s a double so she’ll eventually get a roommate but right now it’s only her.
“This room is actually really nice.”
“Each room has its own bathroom, and we have a cafeteria or dining hall, whatever you want to call it. Breakfast is served daily from six, and when your timetable has breaks you can also go and get lunch. Same for dinner. There’s no real curfew but we all are usually back in our rooms after dinner – unless you feel the need to study in the library or one of the study halls. Oh and on your Susan.”
“Susan?”
“Sorry, your tablet, there’s a portal where you can order any supplies you need. It’s all very basic, you’re here on a court order so everything is paid for. You can’t go stupid but you canpurchase what you need. There’s a budget for clothes, but since you can hack shit, I take it that you can follow simple directions.”
“All very basic,” she agrees.
“Remember, you might be good, but we have the best at our disposal. I chose you because I want a woman on my side. Everyone else within the club are men, so you would be one of the first. Don’t fuck this up before you get in.”
“Noted. How long until this initiation?”
“Not very long at all, so just hold tight.”
My phone rings, interrupting us.
“Hey Monty, is everything okay?”
“Yeah, I need you back down here. Get someone to show the girl around.”
“Okay, give me ten.”
