An Hour ago...
Renn sat alone in the quiet cafeteria, waiting. Miss Valois had asked to meet him one last time. He already had a feeling about what she wanted to talk about. Maybe she would say it wasn't her fault they were separated, or that he had been too harsh with her. Whatever it was, he wasn't ready to listen.
He had been there for thirty long minutes, frustration growing inside him. He pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket to call her when he saw her walk in. The place was empty except for the two of them. All the students were in the hall, leaving the air still and heavy.
"You can't keep me waiting this long when you're the one who called me here," Renn said, his voice edged with anger.
"I'm sorry," Miss Valois said softly. She stood there with her hands behind her, her face pale and filled with sadness. Something about her eyes made his heart tighten, but before he could speak again, she pulled out a gun.
