Kapitel 109: CHAPTER 109

- HAZEL -

The urge to leave class isn’t there. I’m scared. I don’t know who took that picture and how much the person knows. The last thing I want is the whole dorm knowing my secret.

I sniff. My head is sunk in my arms which are folded over my table. I’m the only one in the hall. I’ve been the only one here for hours. My stomach growls with hunger but I’ve got no appetite.

Killian says he’ll kill the story, but how soon will that be? How sooner can the gossip dying be effective? I don’t want to be alone here in this classroom hall but the only one I want with me so bad can’t be with me because he’s involved in the scandal.

I sniff. I hate that I can’t see him. I hate that I can’t be with him here. I hate that I’m in the middle of getting exposed to the whole school and my best friend if she chooses to show up impromptu. I hate that I’m not alone yet feel alone.
