I was patiently waiting for the boys in Kael's room.
I sat curled up on the corner chair in Kael's room, hugging my knees and staring blankly at the flickering lamp beside his desk. Every passing second set my teeth on edge.
My pulse hadn't stopped racing since I left Headmistress Vale's office, and now I was trying not to replay Peter's announcement in my head.
What the hell was going on in this school?
I waited until evening with no sign of the boys. At this point, I was beginning to worry. For one, my school bag was still in my locker in the classroom, so I didn't have my phone with me. There was no way I could contact the boys, but wait.
Almost to midnight, I finally hear the faint echo of footsteps approaching. The door clicked open and slammed shut. The moment they entered, Rhett rushed straight to me and embraced me tightly, kissing my forehead with relief.
"That was too real not to be true," he murmured against my hair.
