Chapter 34

• Jessy let me leave the classroom without any hassle. Her murderous and unhinged demeanor vanished as soon as I told her the truth. She even had the audacity to chat with me, asking about my plans once I left. What frightened me more than her bold threat against Kat was how easily she could switch personas. I gave rushed, one-word answers, eager to leave the room.
• I had just enough time to mask the fear and disgust on my face before Kat found me in the halls. She had already grabbed what she needed from her locker and was wandering around in search of me. Her face contorted in confusion when she saw the heat fill my cheeks. Understanding flashed in her eyes as they traveled down my neck. Without a doubt, she was thinking of Ethan and Kieran.
• I sat quietly as Kat drove us to the restaurant. We both ran in, grabbing our checks from the manager on duty.
