It would be a lie to say Ember wasn't worried, but her worries were different from Chloe's. She didn’t like people meddling in her life or playing games with her. Although she knew the old lady wouldn’t listen to her, she still didn’t want to share a room with anyone, not even Chloe. Living together meant knowing each other's secrets and weaknesses, and one moment of carelessness could lead someone to take advantage of you. Ember had worked hard to keep her life and secrets private, and she didn't want anyone to know more about her than necessary. She had already made that mistake once and didn’t want to do it again.

Just as she was contemplating this, Chloe called out to her. “Ember, are you alright?” Ember looked at Chloe, who was leaning toward her with an uneasy expression on her face. The teacup on the table was already empty, while hers had gone cold. She realized she had lost her composure, and that wouldn't do.

Taking a deep breath, she replied, “I am fine. Let’s go. It’s time to meet our roommates.” After saying this, she stood up from her chair, with Chloe walking beside her. As she stepped out the door, she thought to herself, It doesn’t matter. No matter how many challenges she faced, she would overcome them all. She was Ember Blackwood, and nothing could stop her from being at the top of Zenith Academy.
