(Serena)
In retrospect, I should never have gone back into the Great Forest. But it's too late for that now.
I pass Soren in the hallway in the morning, feeling disgruntled, uneasy, and all together thoroughly annoyed. Stupid Prince and his stupid good looks. Why did he have to ruin everything last night? He could have not tried to bite me any everything would have been just fine, but noooo. Apparently my blood is too much of a delicacy not to resist.
The smirk on the Prince's face is evident as I shove past him, taking precise care to knock into his shoulder as I do.
Payback, I think spitefully, for trying to bite me yesterday.
