Kapitel 31: Chapter 15

The next day was a rainy morning and Selene had no excuse not to go to school.

The Mark she found in front of her was a piece of ice. It was the first time she had seen him behave like that. They had never had a fight since they became friends, not even once. She wasn't used to those cold, expressionless looks of his, to his keeping his distance from her.

Selene sat in the classroom, in her usual seat, right next to Mark.

Every now and then she tried to look at him out of the corner of her eye hoping to meet his gaze, hoping he would look at her at least once. But he didn't turn around. Mark kept looking at the notebook and taking notes. He was like this for the entire duration of the lesson, until the bell rang.

As she picked up her things, Selene dropped the notebook. Strangely she couldn't catch it, despite her being a very fast vampire with quick reflexes.

It was Mark who picked it up from the ground.
