"An election? This student committee was my idea,” I said, staring between all the school board's faces until my eyes landed on Sarah who stared at me with a smug grin.

I could tell that her intentions weren't pure, and my stomach was forming into a tight knot.

"Yes, but it's a student committee. Meaning we need to give all students a chance to—"

“Take my role as the leader?” I interrupted; they all looked startled by my stubbornness. I wasn't typically a stubborn person like this, but I was honestly hurt that it was this easy for them to just replace me.

Sarah folded her arms across her chest.

“I've done a lot of wrongs while I've been at this school. This gives me the chance to do something good for once,” she said, eyeing me carefully.

That smug look was still in her eyes though. She was pulling their strings. She didn’t care about this committee; she just didn't want me to have it.

“If I lose, where does that leave me?”

"Worried you'll lose?” Sarah asked, a grin appearing on her lips.

“No, of course not,” I said in return. “But if I did... what would happen?”

"You can be a regular member, Lila,” Mrs. Laurence said with a kind smile. “Nobody is trying to take the committee away from you. But every student should have the opportunity to be a leader if they wish. That way we are playing fair for all students. I'm creating a signup form in the morning and anyone who wants to take part in the election can feel free to do so.”

“Nobody knows,” I told him. “I wasn't sure how to bring it up. I told her I needed time to talk to my family and friends before I make a decision.”

“I'm not going to tell you what to do, but getting into that school has always been somewhat of a challenge. If you had the opportunity, I wouldn't turn it down. But again, this is your life, and you can make your own decisions. I at least think you should go over the summer and see what it's all about.”

"You and Mom would be okay if I left?” I asked; I wasn't sure if that made me feel better or worse. “We would miss you terribly, but we would understand that it's something you have to do to better your future. We only want what's best for you.”

My heart was warmed by his statement.

“Thank you, Dad,” I said. “Okay... I'll tell her that I'll go with her this summer and go from there.” “That's my girl,” my dad said in return; I could tell he was smiling warmly on the other end of the phone.

Now, I just needed to figure out how I was going to tell Enzo I was leaving for a couple of months. Would he even care?

“I'll talk to you later, Lila Bean. I love you.”

“I love you too,” I said, as I hung up.

Third Person POV

Selene stood off in the distance as she watched Bastien talk with their daughter. Once he hung up the phone, he had a look on his face that she couldn't distinguish.

“Did she say anything?” Selene asked.

“Only that she’s going to Monstro for a couple of months during the summer. She might get the opportunity to attend that famous school,” Bastien said with wonder in his tone. “She never ceases to amaze me."

“That's incredible!” Selene gasped. “How did that come about?”

"Apparently, she met Leroy Klein, the founder of the International School of Art for Shifters, and he was impressed by her. He wants her to bring him her portfolio. Her boss, Cassidy-Ann, was already going to Monro for a conference over the summer and invited Lila to go with her. If Leroy Klein is impressed with her portfolio, then she might be able to get admission.”

"Oh, my goddess,” Selene cooed. “I'm so happy for her...”

Selene’s voice trailed off and Bastien knew exactly what she was thinking.

“She didn't say anything about it...” Bastien said, eyeing her carefully. “Are you sure they are mates?” “I know my daughter,” Selene said, gazing up at him. “I know how she’s feeling. I see the way she looks at him and you can't tell me he’s not aiming to protect her. I can see the way he looks at her as well... It's clear to me that Enzo is Lila's fated mate.”
