அத்தியாயம் 1: The day I stopped being invincibleநான் தெய்வத்தன்மை இழந்த நாள்

Amelia's POV People think monsters live in dark forests or haunted houses…. mine wore football jerseys. The worst mistake I ever made at Blackthorne University was letting them notice me. For a year, I'd mastered the art of being invisible, it took less than sixty seconds to ruin it. ----- "Here we go again." I tightened my grip on the handlebar of my bicycle, adjusting the strap of my backpack before pushing through Blackthorne University's towering iron gates. Students streamed past me in groups, laughing like they hadn't spent the last three months apart, their suitcases rolling across the pavement. A roar erupted somewhere ahead, followed by whistles and excited screams. I didn't have to look to know where it was coming from….The football field. I sighed under my breath and kept walking. Hey! Ball!" The shout made me stop. I looked down at the football resting against the front wheel of my bicycle. I picked it up, ready to throw it back. The field was already packed, girls were practically hanging over the fence, screaming themselves breathless. "Zane!" "Oh my God, did you see that?" "CALLOWAY!" I followed their voices. A football spun through the air. He leaped, catching it with one hand. The crowd lost its mind. “You'd think they were giving away free tuition.” A laugh escaped me. I threw the ball back to the nearest player. He caught it without looking. I wasn't surprised, no one ever looked at me. I preferred it that way though. I lowered my head and continued toward the parking rack. Most people came to Blackthorne for football, I came for one thing…My degree, nothing else. My plan for this semester was simple. Go to class, go home and repeat. It had kept me out of trouble last year…Hopefully, it still…
