I STAND OUTSIDE THE assembly hall and take a long, deep breath. The
smell of fresh-cut grass and honeysuckle fills my lungs. It’s the first day of
the autumn term, but it still smells like summer.
This is my last year at Spearcrest. Even though I started here halfway
through high school, it still feels as if I’ve spent a lifetime here. When my
parents got jobs in the admin team and managed to get me a place here,
they’d considered it a blessing. Never would I otherwise have had the
opportunity to attend one of the most prestigious academic institutions in
Europe. Never would I have been able to rub elbows with the sons and
daughters of millionaires and aristocrats.
Except it hasn’t turned out to be quite the dream I was sold. The campus is
something straight out of a fairy tale, the education is world-class, the
teachers exceptional.
Everything else… not so much.
Still. This is my last year.
I’ve made it this far—the finishing line is finally in sight. All I have to do
now is keep my head down, focus on my exams and university applications,
and then I’m free.
Free to leave Spearcrest, get as far away as possible from its
claustrophobic world of elitism, nepotism and narcissism.
Loud noises interrupt my thoughts and I close my eyes, bracing myself for
impact.
Walking up the path towards the assembly hall with their shirts untucked
and their carefully curated nonchalance are the so-called Young Kings of
Spearcrest. Luca Fletcher-Lowe, Iakov Kavinski, Séverin Montcroix,
Zachary Blackwood and Evan Knight.
Combined, their five families are wealthier than the rest of England put
together. And that’s something they don’t let you forget. Their straight
postures and easy manners are only this relaxed because they know they’ll
never have to face consequences for anything they do as long as they live.
Their sleeves are only rolled back to show off their obscenely expensive
watches.
Every careless little thing they do is calculated to project wealth and
power.
I glance at the tower clock. They’re fifteen minutes late to assembly.
Although I make a quick note of it, I say nothing as they approach. I might be
a prefect, and I might hate the way they think rules don’t apply to them, but
I’m not about to draw their attention or their displeasure.
I know better.
Instead, I keep my head down, eyes glued to the clipboard propped against
my legs. I stand utterly still, like a trapped rabbit playing dead while it waits
for prowling wolves to pass it by.
If only things were that easy.
“Mr Fletcher-Lowe!” roars a stony voice from behind my shoulder. “Mr
Kavinski, Mr Montcroix, Mr Blackwood and Mr Knight!”
Shit. I push myself back against the red brick wall, hoping and praying that
the headmaster, Mr Ambrose, doesn’t drag me into this skirmish.
“This is the first assembly of your final year here upon the hallowed
grounds of Spearcrest. Is this how you want to begin such an important
year?”
