Charis
I finally reached my classroom, a smile on my face and my heart still fluttering from the morning's unexpected tenderness with Kael.
The building wasn't difficult to locate; it took me just two turns, and I arrived, coupled with the fact that I spotted a few familiar faces of other first-year students.
Right at the entrance of the classroom, there was a wooden box with 'OPEN ME' written in bold letters across the front. Following the obvious instruction, I lifted the lid to reveal dozens of tiny compartments inside, each labelled with a student's name in neat handwriting.
I found the one labelled 'Eamon Riggs' and opened it. Inside was a golden card etched with my alias and embossed with the Ravenshore crest. I turned it over, rechecking the compartment, but nothing was written on it.
No instructions.
Shrugging, I slipped the card into my bag, alongside the new phone Kael had given me, took a deep breath to steady my nerves and walked into the classroom.
