Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Avoiding

Night’s P.O.V

“We need to finish up on the project together this time.” I reminded my two best friends as we sat on the front stairs of our faculty, discussing who was taking responsibility for which part of the project. “This isn’t like high school, so don’t even dare expect one of us to complete the job alone and then take credit for the rest!”

Trey immediately put his hands up in surrender, giving us a sheepish smile as he nodded in agreement. “I promise to do the best I can."

That was more than what I had expected from him, however, when I turned to face Landon…it was to find him spacing out once again, just like he had been this entire week.

“Landon? Landon!” I snapped at him, startling him into snapping out of his trance.

“Huh?” He looked around at me and Trey like he was seeing us for the first time. “What did you just say?”

“Damnit, Landon!” Trey snapped in impatience. “You want us to go over the whole thing once again? What the hell is wrong with you?”
