Days later. I was back at Lycantide High and was just exiting the cafeteria kitchen with a small package in hand when 1 bumped into someone and the things in my arms spilled to the floor. I looked up to find Bessie Crow staring smugly down Oh crap.

"Look who we have here" She bellowed with the same posh accent as the Windermeres. "Miss Elite Warrior." She said to the people seated in the cafeteria. By now, everyone had lushed and were now looking our way. I sighed and went down on my haunches to receive my items but Bessie instead kicked it further away.
In the process, the contents came out of the paper bag, causing me to wince. Before I could get to the contents, one of Bessie's minions beat me to it, and brought out the wrapped food inside. Her face lit up with glee as she gave it to Bessie, "Oh wow! Oh my gods!" Bessie giggled. "You mean the first female Elite eats the school's leftovers for lunch?

"No one is forcing you! Your type wouldn't survive anyway." I yelled back. "Now, give me back my food!"
"Oh yea Bessie retorted and the next thing I knew, my face was being stuffed with the sandwich that was wrapped for me. It was supposed to be my first and only meal for the day and she just destroyed it. "Take that!"
I stood stunned, and tired of it all. What did I do to deserve this? Why can't I catch a break for once!! My being fed up gave way to anger and I suddenly felt the urge to advance on her and beat her up just like I did Howard but I stopped myself.

Any wrong move could have me expelled which could have put me in bad terms with the Princes. So I tried my best to clean my face and collect the rest of my things while Bessie and the rest of the cafeteria laughed at me.
While doing that I realized I still had one good sandwich left but just as I went for it, Bessie hurried past me and stomped it. to mush with her shoes, then she picked it up and gave it to me, "You should eat this! Tears stung my eyes just as my stomach groveled violently. I glared up at her, clenching my hands into fists. What I wouldn't give to knock off her smile right now. Instead, I shook my head and walked away while Bessie continued to laugh at me. turned around at the sound of my name and found a ginger haired girl who looked a bit younger than me.
"Hi" She waved sweetly as she closed the distance between us. Then she shid her hair behind her ears and avoided my eyes in a shy way while fiddling with her fingers
"Hi" I said warily, wondering what she wanted.
"I have something for you" She said and dipped her hand in her bag before stretching it to me. Looking down at her hand, I saw two pieces of wrapped sandwich "Take it It's for you" She said and for a moment I thought it was some sick twisted

"No, thank you." I said, and made to move away.
"I signed up to be an Elite next year." She said, stopping me in my tracks. When I turned around, she had a sweet smile on her face and for a moment I wondered how someone as soft as her could train for such a role. The training nearly killed me and it for sure would destroy her. "Why?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"Because you inspired me. I want to be strong like you and.." She paused, her smile faltering. "I don't want to be bullied
anymore
I finally relaxed and gave her a smile of my own which was rare. She stretched the food to me again, "This is my way of saying, 'thank you for not letting those bullies get to you and stop you from achieving your dream."
I accepted the food with a smile. Thank you." I said. "What's your name?" "Sadie Sadie Cresswell"
"Alright Sadie. I'll see you around I smiled and waved to her before walking away.
Slowly, a small smile beamed on my lips at the fact that I wouldn't be starving today.

I heard a piercing scream and when I turned around, my stomach dropped at the sight of Bessie pushing Sadie to the ground. One of her minions kicked her in stomach, making her yelp in pain. "Who asked you to give her food?!" Bessie yelled before slapping her across the face. "Who said you could that help that
Another slap!
Sadie tried to block her but she was a helpless, crying mess. "Please stop!" She whimpered.
"No, I won't!" Bessie gripped her hair, forcing her to her knees. Any friend of Ryn is an enemy of mine! Just then, Bessie's eyes met mine and her hazel eyes shone with malice, daring me to do something.
