SABRINA GALLO
I lean against the ship’s railing, letting the cold salt spray hit me in the
face.
On the broiling deck, this is the only way to cool off. My hair will go insane,
but I don’t mind.
I’m deliberately ignoring Ilsa Markov playing street craps against the base of
the mast with a cluster of Enforcers. Likewise, she’s pretending not to notice
how each bob of the ship tosses my skirt a little further up my thighs.
We broke up last night.
She said it was because she’s graduating. She’ll be joining her sister Neve in
Moscow, while I’m stuck at school three more years.
We both know that’s not the real reason.
The last time we fought, she said, “I don’t think you’re cut out for a
relationship.”
That stung. Technically, we were never “in a relationship,” but we’d been
hooking up on and off all year long, and besides that, I actually liked her.
Ilsa’s one of the only female Enforcers, and the only student who can knock
me on my ass in sparring. She gave me a black eye that covered half my face;
I looked like the Phantom of the Opera. I like to count that as our first date.
Right now, she’s fleecing Archie Chan for every dollar he’s got left in his
pockets. She’s rolling so well that Archie mutters something about loaded
dice. Ilsa shoots him a stare that shuts his mouth fast.
Ilsa would sooner cut off her own pinky than cheat. I call her “Diana” not just
because she looks like Wonder Woman, but because her code of honor is as
hard-plated and immovable as Amazonian armor.
I don’t know if she likes the nickname. Ilsa doesn’t always love my jokes —
probably another reason we split up.
I don’t have control over what comes out of my mouth.
The worse the situation, the funnier I find it.
My dad says I get that from my aunt Aida.
Nobody’s strangled Aida yet, though not for lack of trying.
I’m not sure I’ll be that lucky.
I’m not blessed with my aunt’s sunny disposition. In fact, at the moment I’m
in a foul fucking mood.
Half my cousins are graduating along with Ilsa, or already have. Miles is
gone, Leo and Anna are leaving.
I hate being younger.
I was excited to come to Kingmakers, but it’s impossible to catch up to the
cousins who are already moving on again, starting their lives in the real
world. I’m hot with jealousy.
The strict rules of the island grate on me, not to mention the humiliating
“homework” and the relentless exams. The best part of the year was when we
stole the Chancellor’s boat for an unauthorized field trip to Kazakhstan.
I hitch half a smile, remembering the one night I wholeheartedly enjoyed.
The night I met Adrik Petrov
