** Coner’s POV
+25 BONUS
I don’t know what’s worse, the nausea or the pain in my knees from dropping on the floor. My knees are important. I can’t be a dancer if my knees are damaged Although I’m not sure they would have a need for a dancer in this new world I’ve found myself in. I grip the spot on my wrist that Josie had shown me and wait for the churning in my stomach to stop. I keep thinking this is all wild dream and I’ll wake up soon, but is it possible to sleep in a dream? Because I went to sleep and when I woke up I was still here. I can’t believe Josie is here too. I thought I’d never see her again. In fact, they were the last words she had spoken to me. “If I ever see you again, it will be too soon,” she had spat. I replay what I’d done to her often. How I had hurt her. She never deserved that. I guess this is my punishment for that. Karma always finds a way. I still don’t know why I did what I did. I loved her, I was sure I did, but then I met Molly. Sure Molly was pretty and 1 sympathised with her, we shared a very similar life story. We had both lost our parents and had been put into foster care. I’d been with my foster family for seven years when she had joined us. I hadn’t been interested in her at all for the first six months, too occupied with Josic, dance and college to form much of a bond with her. Then one evening shortly after her 18th birthday she had come to my bedroom and I’d slept with her. I still have no idea how it happened. I should have admitted my mistake to Josie right then, but I didn’t. I didn’t want to lose her or hurt her. I’d sworn to myself it would never happen again, but it did, every single time we were alone. I couldn’t stop, I had an uncontrollable urge to be with Molly.
“Feeling better?” Mr Collins‘ voice rips me from my trip down memory lane. I blink up at him and he has a smug grin plastered on his face. I swear this guy is enjoying seeing me suffer.
“Yes, now can you please tell me where Josie is, I want to see her. I have some things I need to tell her,” I huff. He’d promised she would be here but she isn’t.
“Coner will you forget about Josie for fucks sake, I’m sick of hearing about her,” Molly sneers.
“Josie is here in the academy, but I’m afraid she will be indisposed for a few days, I assure you she is fine and her bonds are taking great care of her. I’d like to give you a few words of advice regarding Josie and her bonds. It would be wise not to antagonise them. There’s nothing more dangerous than a male protecting his bond, and Josie has the most powerful bonds in the academy,” he smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. “Now if you want to get up off of my office floor I’ll escort you to the dining hall for breakfast, someone will be along shortly to collect you from there and show you to your rooms. I’ll also assign some students to answer all your questions and help you get settled here,”
Molly tries to hold my hand as we follow Mr Collins but I brush her off, remembering the warning we had been given about pausing our relationship until the seer has been. I really don’t want to antagonize a bunch of students with powers. The academy seems quiet and Mr Collins points out different buildings as we make our way to the dining hall. We bump into a few students who give us curious glances as we pass but no one says anything to us.
“I’m starving, I hope the food is good here, although it can’t be worse than…” Molly begins to natter as we walk into the dining hall but her words fade into the background as my eyes land on the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen in my life. The whole world seems to stop as her stunning wide eyes meet mine. Her mouth parts slightly and I forget how to breathe.
“Coner! Are you even listening to me?” Molly demands with a shove to my chest. I stumble back but my eyes stay on the goddess across the room. Her eyes move to Molly with a hint of a scowl, then a dark–haired guy wraps his arm around her shoulders completely oblivious to me as he guides her to a table. I blink back into reality and Molly is pissed. “What the fuck was that?” she hisses.
“I… I don’t know,” I admit, rubbing the back of my neck.

“That is Sunny,” Mr Collins leans over to whisper with a knowing smile. Sunny, what a perfect name for her. I glance back over to her but I can only see her dark hair that cascades down her back as she sits at a table with two

“Conor get your shit together, people are watching us and you’re acting like a freak, It’s embarrassing,” Molly grumbles beside me.
“Could I have everyone’s attention for a moment,” Mr Collins calls loudly and the room falls into silence as all eyes move to him. “We have two new students joining us today. This is Coner and Molly, they arrived in our realm late last night from the human realm,” he tells the room. All eyes move to us and students begin to chatter excitedly, but there’s only one set of eyes I care about. Sunny gives me a small smile and my heart almost stops.” Now I know this is very unusual, especially since we have already had a student from the human realm join us recently but I would like to remind everyone to treat them with respect. The seer will be here at the earliest opportunity. I do not want a repeat of what happened with Miss Banks, and I will not hesitate to issue suspensions again should I need to. I need two bonded groups to volunteer to help settle them in,” he looks at the crowd of students expectedly and a few hands shoot up, including Sunny’s. “Coner, you can join Sunny’s group,‘ he points towards Sunny and I can’t stop the grin that spreads across my face. “Molly, you can join Sienna’s group,
he points to another table but I don’t take notice, I can’t pull my eyes from Sunny.
