Work was dreadful like it always was at my second job as the night
janitor at the college for rich, over-privileged, under-empathetic
elites who were so sure of their own superiority that they
couldn’t help condescend even if they weren’t blatantly cruel.
Most were too indifferent to be intentionally unkind, but one student always
troubled himself to go that extra mile for me.
I should have been honored the first time we met when he dumped the
garbage can over just so that I could clean it up again while he watched
intently. That’s what Rynne said, that I should be honored, but she was
being sarcastic when she said it. Rynne is my best friend, my only friend if
you didn’t count Poe, the bird that follows me around and makes me
weirder than I already am.
I shouldn’t complain about my job because the money was good, and
for the last two years, Percival hadn’t given me much grief. Can you believe
that someone named Percival Marigold wouldn’t be infinitely teased,
derided, and hated? But he was all the things the other students admired,
respected, and emulated. That is gorgeous, brilliant, and filthy rich. Forget
the mean streak that I seemed to bring out more than anyone else. He was
two years older than me so I expected that he would graduate and move on
to a larger university after he tortured me for two years since I was sixteen,
but instead he stayed on to get a secondary degree in one of the few upper
graduate courses at Gray College. Happily, he had to focus on his studies
and had no time to torment me. I had only seen him in passing for the last
year or so, but I still got tense and nervous every time I saw him.
At Gray College, they had a library reserved for the current magic
students. They were so incredibly strict about who could see the forbidden
magic that Rynne wasn’t allowed to clean in there because she was studying
earth magic at a different community college to follow her dreams and get a
forensic degree so that she could catch criminals and see justice served. I’d
failed every test on magic all my years of public schooling, so I was
allowed to vacuum, dust the shelves, and empty the garbage cans in the
library, since I wasn’t in danger of unsealing and reading a book with some
evil incantation to raise the dead or something.
Speaking of raising the dead, my mother had worked so hard to instill in
me some small bits of useful healing magic in me, but it just didn’t stick.
She wasn’t the greatest healer, and I was probably the worst. It fascinated
me though, all those books, forbidden, dangerous, filled with wonders that I
wouldn’t ever understand. Sometimes when I was vacuuming or dusting,
I’d read a few passages from one of the unsealed books just to see what was
inside. I’d never had any luck with spells, although I was always at the top
of my class academically, but I still couldn’t help my curiosity.
