with vanilla sugar. The lady in white uniform asks me to take my ticket and wait somewhere to collect my order when the monitor will show my number. Like in McDonald's. I wait maybe five seconds and my number appeared. I collect the food and look around to find a free table. Everyone is sited in some groups, probably friends and I spot two free tables. One was uninviting and near the exit, the second one, on the other hand, was so, so inviting. It was standing on the pedestal, ideally for me. I move to sit there but a small hand on my shoulder stop me in my tracks. I turn around to meet brown eyes staring at me with disbelief.

“What the fuck you think you are doing?” I ask.

“Oh sorry, I just assumed that you are making your way to Leaders table and I wanted to stop you.” She removes her hand from my shoulder and looks at her feet.

“Well, actually, yes I have chosen that table and I am going to sit there.”

“No, you cannot do it. This table belongs to the Leader and they wouldn’t like anyone who is not approved to sit there.”

“Watch me.” That was the last sentence that I said. I step away from her and move to sit at my new spot. Everyone was staring at me and suddenly all canteen was quiet. What a bunch of idiots. They really think that I will comply with those stupid rules. After my dead body. At the corner of my eye, I spot three guys making their way to me. One of them I recognise from the parking lot. He seems to be quiet but so much handsome. He is tall and slim but also muscular. He has brown hair short cut on the sides and left longer at the top. His hairstyle match Liam’s but Liam got dirty blonde hair and is more handsome and spectacular that this guy. Liam is obviously there as well; his angry gaze is staring at me from the far. Next to him is the second guy from the parking lot. Loverboy. They stop just in front of me.

“What are you doing?” Liam asks.

“Eating. Feel free to join but I would rather let you go fuck yourself.” My voice is bored the same as me. They really think that they will make any effect on me, but it is not going to happen.

“Beautiful. This is a special table dedicated for us. You can obviously sit with us but first you need to be invited or be one of us and as far as I know anyone invited you, so you need to go and wait for invitation somewhere else.” That lover boy is nice but his words even when sound nice is not nice at all. I just sat there and ate my soup. I don’t pay them any attention, and this make them even angrier.

“Listen you Morpho, take your shit and find somewhere else to eat your food. You are not welcome here. I will not accept this so be careful with who you are playing because the game may be too dangerous for you.” Ah, Liam, you don’t know me at all. Some girl steps into my way of view and covers Liam’s lips with her own. Oh, so our little prince has a girlfriend. She is tall, maybe the same height as me, but she has short black hair and bangs. She looks like an Egyptian goddess, but she doesn’t stand a chance with me. Maybe I am full of myself, but I don’t show it, she, on the other hand, looks like she likes to show who is the princess around.

“Hello babe, what is happening here. Why this no one is sitting at our table?” She may be beautiful, but her voice is just annoying.

“She was just leaving Sophia, don’t be worry about her,” Liam responds.

“Actually, I wasn’t. I feel comfortable here and if you have any problem with me sitting here, you can find some other table to sit. I don’t care. If I need an invitation to some bullshit table, I am sure that this handsome friend of you will kindly invites me.” I look at lover boy with a wink. He smirks at me. “And my name is Emlyn not some Morph or whatever you called me.” My response shocked the whole cafeteria but didn’t shocked Liam, shame.

“Of course, beautiful, you are officially invited to sit with me. The only thing was to ask. I am Zac by the way. Nice to meet you, Emlyn.” He takes my hand and kisses it. What a cheap gentleman but I like it. I can use this little Zac as a pawn in our game.

“So nice of you. Please join me.” I bat my eyelashes at him, and he quickly sits next to me. Liam’s face became two shades darker than normal and it made me happy. His girl is gaping at him and probably expects him to kick me out but there was no kicking. He sits down in front of me and the gasp escapes her lips.

“So, Emlyn, do you have someone to show you around?” Zac asks.

“No, I don’t but as I mentioned before, I will not stay long, so I don’t need a tour.”

“Well, Zac you need to make it quick if you want to add this slut to your list because she is running away soon.” Sophia's voice rang in my ears. Yh, so annoying sound. Her laugh was the next thing I heard, and I rush to her side with my blade ready in my hand.

“What did you just call me?” I whisper in her ear. My knife makes its way from her ear to her neck in slow motion. She swallows loudly. The next thing I know, someone is behind me and taking my hand. I quickly remove my second blade which surprised newcomer and put it to his stomach.

“Do not fucking move or I will stab
