"Aren't we staying for the ball?" Kira asked Asher, whose eyes were fixed on the dormitory he was leading her toward.
He came to a halt and turned to face her, appearing satisfied with the distance from the hall. "I'll explain everything when we get to the dorm. Would you prefer to go to your room instead?"
"Let's go to yours," she replied, a soft smile gracing her lips as they continued toward the building. "Is that allowed? Can girls be in boys' dorm rooms?"
He intertwined his fingers with hers, a smirk dancing across his lips. "Not really... but it's fine now since everyone's at the ball. I promise, I wouldn't get you into trouble."
"You've never gotten me into trouble—except for that one time we ended up in detention because you got into a fight with Regan Paul." She laughed.
"That moron. Funnily enough, he's here at VA. I spotted him during lunch a few weeks ago."
"Really? What faction is he in?"
"Raven... I think."
