Rooming With Royals ✔️
Violet White is a seventeen-year-old outcast, haunted by a tragic past that stripped her of family and joy. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she's forced to move in with her mysterious uncle and attend an elite private school in England. Amidst grand castles and hidden secrets, Violet finds herself rooming with a group of captivating, yet perplexing, young men. As she navigates new friendships, simmering animosities, and the strange rules of this peculiar institution, she stumbles upon a world far more complex—and dangerous—than she ever imagined. Will Violet uncover the truth about her past and this hidden world, or will its secrets consume her?

The bell shrieked, slicing through the agonizing drone of Mrs. Hartley’s lecture. I practically vaulted from my seat, a sigh of pure relief escaping my lips. Another day, another hour of mind-numbing boredom endured. My locker, a battered metal fortress, was my next destination, and I yanked it open, pulling out my books with a practiced ease.

Then, a shadow fell over me. A familiar, sickeningly sweet voice cut through the hallway’s chaos. "You’re not wanted in this school." April, the school’s resident queen bee, sneered, her eyes raking over me with practiced disdain.

I slammed my locker shut, the metallic clang echoing my rising fury. "Shut up." I shoved her, hard, watching with grim satisfaction as she stumbled. Frustration, annoyance, anger – a toxic cocktail brewed inside me. I’d had a horrible day, and I wasn't about to let her make it worse. April glared, then flounced off, her gaggle of 'followers' trailing like pathetic, lost puppies.

My eyes narrowed, scanning the hallway. Everyone was gawking, of course, but quickly looked away when they met my gaze. Idiots. I chuckled, a low, humorless sound, and continued down the hall. School. Who cared about school, anyway?
