Chương 38: Chapter 38: A Letter

Things were awkward when I came back to school. Liz knew things weren’t right between Silas and me. Of course, it was kind of obvious. Tanner had all but vanished after I saw him and Melissa talking the week before. Melissa stayed as far from me as she could with this look in her eyes. . .

It wasn’t rocket science, for crying out loud—if I had to guess, Melissa learned from Tanner what I was, and she no longer wanted to tango with me—I mean, she said it herself. Her bravery and cockiness went straight out the window. I can’t say I wasn’t happy about it. She even stayed away from Silas, who also paid no attention to me or anyone else apart from his friends.
