"Can we put other restrictions on you?" Simone Brady prodded.

 

"This

is not the 'Zane' show," Virginia Goodswell interjected. "We need to

decide when the new Student government will meet, I suggest Tuesday

nights, and how we are going to conduct business."

 

"We can start by deciding where we meet," Chastity spoke up. "I vote for Zane's place."

 

"What's wrong with the Assembly Hall, where we've always met?" Rhaine countered.

 

"Rhaine,

you are drinking a Doctor Pepper, KayLeigh, you are drinking a grape

juice, and Joy was eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate

syrup when I got here," Hope snickered. "You have hot plates and

microwaves too, if needed."

 

Rhaine,

Joy, and KayLeigh, all Traditionalists, looked guilty. They also looked

like they treasured their creature comforts because they weren't

running for the door.

 

"It is a nice place," KayLeigh admitted.

 

"And you don't get to come back up here otherwise," Rio grinned evilly. "This floor is devoted to the freshman class."

 

"There are a lot of upperclassmen up here right now," Rhaine pointed out.

 

"Those are what you would call 'friends'," Rio sneered. "If you weren't freaking evil, you might have some."

 

"Please

don't put it that way," I requested of Rio. Rio had every reason to be

cranky. Mercy looked even more exhausted sitting at her side.

 

"Zane will arrange the room to fit your needs," Christina finally spoke, "I guarantee it."

 

"You think you can control him?" Rhaine shot back.

 

"I'm

not afraid of him; he's not some wild beast. I ask him to do things for

me and he does," Christina chided Rhaine. "He is like any other

freshman; it is that simple."

 

"He's rather mouthy for a freshman," Hannah joked.

 

"Well,

maybe if you put my mouth to other uses," I bantered back. There was a

moment of silence followed by Dana Gorman taking up her bottled water

and walking over to me. She smiled down at my seated form while she

poured out the remaining water onto my crown.
