“Where were you?” she asks

I nod “Got caught up”

She rolls her eyes “Let uess, Matt?”

“So like that”

“Hey, look what I found” She reaches into her bag and pulls out a piece of paper Unfolding it, she sets it down on my desk

“What is it?”

“Our first official college party of junior year,” she squeals

I pick it up and read over it It’s a black piece of paper with The Ritual written across the top in white letters Froirls talking about it here and there, but whenever I ask Matt about it, he shuts me down and says they’ve been sworn to secrecy

“It wouldn’t be a secret society, Blakely, if we told everyone what goes on, on the inside,” he once said to me, and I rolled my eyes

I begin to read over it

I vow

You vow

We vow

The ritual is what one must do in order to become a chosen

A chosento surrender in all that they do

I look over at her and raise a brow “Is this shit for real?” Does she even knohat this means? I’ve never actually seen a flyer about it before with rules listed I just thought it was a stupid ruirls started to feel wanted Soet some dick

She nods “I hope so”

Rolling my eyes, I look back at it

A chosen is protected under the ritual Any and all must treat them as such

“No” I wad it up and throw it back at her “That’s stupid Or fucked up Either way, you know I can’t go” Matt would kill me if I showed up at the house of Lords

“Matt can’t tell you what you can and can’t do, Blakely,” she argues
