It was as I was coming out of school later that day that the phone pinged in my pocket.

I pulled it out, expecting another text saying I was totally evil. I was going to delete it. They’d soon get fed up if I just kept blocking people and didn’t ever respond to their sick messages. I was going to make them sorry for a change.

Then I read it.

TWENTY-THREE

I swivelled round. Almost everyone in the wind-whipped plaza was on their phone, either texting or messaging or calling or checking their profiles online. None of them seemed to be looking at me.

There was Andrea, chewing gum, surrounded by Belinda and Tracey, all of them with their phones clamped to their ears. There was Robbie, heading out through the main doors, typing into his phone as he walked. I saw William Creen’s nephew, Josh, with his back to me. Could he be deliberately turned away, or was he just protecting himself from the wind? He was certainly tapping something into his phone. Then my eyes moved up to the first floor of the school. There was a figure at one of the windows. I couldn’t make out who it was, not even whether they were a boy or a girl. It seemed to me they moved back quickly as soon as I glanced towards them. Had they been watching me as I read the text, as my eyes scanned the yard? Or was I just being paranoid?
