Haiden:
I had only just sat down in my room when Troy followed me. We sat together in silence. I guess he wanted me to express what I was feeling, but I was not ready for it.
What was I supposed to tell him? That it hurt to watch others live my life? That I was jealous that all the power and luxuries that belonged to me were now being used by this leech of a family?
"Let's talk about the confession video," Troy suggested.
Finally, he found a topic we could talk about, something that would distract me from the pain of not having what was supposed to be mine.
"Yeah, Oriana really messed up," I muttered.
Troy's plan worked because all my attention shifted to Oriana and how angry I felt that she did not stop even after she had been caught using magic to control us by shaking hands with the Shadow Earth Eater. She continued to be toxic and play games.
