It has been a Month now. A Month after Tori Vega denied the Stars and denied Darius. She decided their fate was doomed no matter how much Darius begged for her to give him a chance. No matter how much he pleaded and begged for forgiveness.

She said No. And now they are Star-crossed. The black ring around their Ireses a telltale sign.

The other Heirs look at him with Pity. Lance looks at him with Pity, especially since he is dating Darcy. Students, Teachers, the Press - Everyone looked at him with pity. He can't stand it anymore. Everyone who sees their black ringed eyes assume he was the one saying no, that he broke her heart, their future. That is what hurts most. But he keeps quiet, he has to be strong. Otherwise there would be many, many more problems if he was seen as weak. Not only from society but especially from his Father that is breathing down his neck.

Darius is currently watching with the other heirs as the new Academy Students come in. The new Fae's that were awakened. The new first years.
