"First on the list is Knox."
The processor paused. It seemed like everyone stopped breathing.
"And his partner is Varney."
My eyes almost fell out of their sockets while my heart completely stopped walking. My ears were ringing and it felt like I might faint.
What the hell?
Evan and Darcy were gaping at me, shock and fright written over their faces and I suddenly wished I could disappear at once. I let out a small, wounded sound when the professor demanded the two students get on their feet.
My legs shook when I rose to my feet, and a shocked murmur went through the class as they stared at me. The professor had a shocked look on his face, looking weary, and seeming like the names indeed got shuffled randomly.
If it was random, why did my name get paired with his of all people?
