บท 21: Matt Bennington

I paced around my room, my mind racing. How did Kyle know about Jason Wagner? How did the two of them even meet? Did Jason approach Kyle first? No way; that guy wasn't interested in Kyle at all. Did they meet by chance? No, it didn't matter whether it was by chance or not. What mattered was that something was said about me! Images of that demon, now in my brother's body, flashed through my mind, fueling my confusion and frustration. I clenched my fists, trying to make sense of the whirlwind of feelings inside me.

As I walked back and forth, I heard the familiar ding of my phone. I paused, annoyed but scared. Jason wasn't looking for me anymore; he even stopped coming to school. He hadn't even tried to contact me until now. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Reluctantly, I picked up the device and glanced at the screen. A text from an unknown number flashed before my eyes.
