Chapter 116

• “Yes, it says to follow her to the bus stop and keep talking aimlessly until she gets sick of the sound of your voice and has to talk to you . . . even if that first word is shut up . . . that’s something, right?”
• I flick the page of my Kindle over as I stop myself from playing into his hands and saying the words shut up . The girls behind me snicker again. I glare at my Kindle. I won’t be surprised if the screen breaks under the pressure.
• “What does chapter two say?” the girl behind me asks as the bus arrives and pulls to a stop. I jump on.
