We already touched, nothing happened,” Luke shrugs.
“What?” Mr Collins booms. Yep, a heart attack is imminent for the handsome headmaster.
“Calm down D, it was my fault. I walked into him,” I explain quickly before he suspends Luke too. Theo snorts a laugh and I realise my mistake. Mr Collins‘ jaw is tense and I’m unsure if he’s fighting off a smirk or about to lose his shit completely. “Sorry, Mr Collins,” I correct and give him my sweetest smile.
“Fine, Luke escort Miss Banks to her first class and do not leave her side. Theo, go and choose another three for your team. I’ll send out a message to all tutors to let them how. Now get to class, you’re late,” Mr Collins orders, his tone is tense and he seems to be avoiding looking at any of us before he walks away. We all watch him go in silence.
“Can Greys have heart attacks?” I whisper to the guys.
“Yep, and I think you’re about to give dear old Mr Collins one,” Theo snorts and Luke hums in agreement.
Theo insists on walking with me and Luke to my first class. Once we are safely at the door he leaves to go and recruit my new security team.
“Ready?” Luke asks, his hand raised to knock on the door. take a breath and give him a nod. He gives the door a short rap and then pushes it open, all eyes turn to face us.
“Ah, Mr Weston. How nice of you to join us,” a female tutor with bright red hair smiles sarcastically, “and this must be the infamous Miss Banks, late for her first class. Take a seat,”
“Sorry Miss, you should have a message from Mr Collins explaining our absence,” Luke explains.
“I’m not interested in excuses, now hurry up and take a seat, you’ve already interrupted my lesson long enough,” she admonishes and a few of the students snicker as I follow Luke to a pair of empty seats. Great, I’ve already made a fantastic first impression on her.
“I can’t wait to see her reaction when Theo gets here,” Luke whispers as we sit.
“As I was saying before we were rudely interrupted. Some of the poorer humans in England are unable to afford a motor vehicle and therefore are still using horses as a mode of transport,” she tells the class and I can’t contain the snort of laughter that escapes me.
“Is something funny, Miss Banks?” the tutor snaps.
“It’s just that you’re wrong,” I say quietly, my face flushing with embarrassment as all eyes turn to me yet again.
“How so?” she asks, and she seems less angry now and more curious.
“Motor vehicles, more commonly known as cars these days are actually cheaper to use than a horse. Horses are ridden as a hobby and a sport. If people can’t afford a car they usually use public transport, like a bus or train. Or they have a bike or scooter,” I explain. The tutor’s eyes shine with an idea.
“Okay class, as Miss Banks is so knowledgeable on this subject, take out your notebooks and write down three questions you’d like to ask her about the human world,” she says with a clap of her hands, sparking a flurry of movement as students retrieve notepads and discuss excitedly between themselves. This is hell. “This is a rare opportunity to speak to someone who has grown up as a human so choose your questions wisely,” she adds.
Oh, no. I don’t think…” I start to protest but Luke nudges the.
“You’ve got this,” he whispers.

The tutor ushers into an empty classroom and closes the door behind her. The moment the door closes her whole demeanour changes and she flings her arms around Luke. stare wide–eyed wondering what on earth is going ont
here.
“Oh my goodness, Luke, you found your bond?” she asks excitedly.
“It’s complicated, the seer hasn’t been yet but it’s unlikely she and Theo felt The Spark, we didn’t,” he shrugs.
“That doesn’t mean anything, if it’s true, The Spark only triggers in order of the original bonding,” she reaches up and scruffs his hair.
“Um, sorry to interrupt but what is going on?” I ask
“Sorry, how rude of me. I’m Alice, Luke’s sister,” she grins holding a hand out to shake. I take the offered hand, ” I’m Josie,”
“Why didn’t you mention our tutor was your sister?” I ask Luke accusingly.
“Because it is a secret, only the staff know,”
“Why is it a secret?” I frown..

“We don’t want other students to know or they’d accuse me of giving him preferential treatment. It’s just easier to keep it this way, plus I get to give him a hard time and he can’t do anything about it or I give him detention, she waggles her eyebrows and Luke snorts, folding his arms over his chest. Something about the action makes him seem hotter as the fabric of his shirt stretches taut over his forearms.
“Then why are you telling me?” I ask, pulling my eyes from Luke’s arms. Since when did I develop an arm fetish?
“Because you’re going to be family, I think you’d notice me at our Sunday family dinner. You’re coming this weekend, right?” she asks excitedly.
“Calm down, Sis, let’s take a step back,” Luke laughs.
“It’s true, I can see it,” she grins.
“Alice thinks she has a minor seer ability,” Luke explains as Alice studies me, squinting slightly.
“I do, I’m sensing four… no five bonds,” she nods and I gape at her.
“Five? What the hell does one woman do with five men,” I scoff.
“She gets creative,” Alice shakes her hips, “I better warn Mum we need more chairs,” she adds, taking out her phone.
“Alice stop,” Luke puts a hand on her phone, stopping her “Let’s wait for the seer before you get too excited. We better get back, you have a class to teach remember?”
“Oh shit, you’re right. Okay, make yourselves look miserable like I’ve just given you the biggest bollocking,” she says, her expression turning serious. Damn, she’s a good actor. I plaster a frown on my face and follow them back
to class.
“Okay class, this is what is going to happen. Choose one of your questions to ask Miss Banks, if yours gets asked before it gets to your turn then choose another from your list. Miss Banks will answer your question and then ask you one in return. Does everyone understand?” Alice asks the class. Sounds of agreement spread throughout the
