Chapter Eleven

Palmer

What do you do when the four most popular boys to ever grace campus set their eyes on you as some sort of punching bag?

You avoid them at all costs.

Despite trying my hardest to drop Byron’s English class, the guidance counselor claims I’m unable to switch my schedule. Having their attention on me for an entire hour and a half, first thing in the morning, is unnerving. They no longer take up the seats around me, choosing to sit at the top of the class, looming down at me from their corner. I try my hardest to pay attention, but that means my sole focus is Byron, and he smirks every chance he can get, proving he knows how destroyed my mind is.

After the little run-in with Breaker at the party, it’s as if I’m someone else living inside of my body and mind. This isn’t me. I’m behaving more like . . .

Like Reed.

I focus on the windows lining the side of the room. Buckets of rain pour from the sky. My sister loved the rain. Reed was the most carefree person, always pushing those around her to live better, faster, and in the end, I wonder if that’s what got her hurt.

As close as the two of us were, she had her secrets, deeply hidden in the recesses of her mind. How did she handle the relationship with them? This was the biggest secret of all. I understand and can justify this unbreakable bond between them, and have often wished for something similar for myself, but that’s as far as she ever explained their situation.

Marek has said things that make me believe their relationship with my sister hadn’t been simple. Nothing with Reed ever was. So, when the opportunity to slither in among them presented itself, it had been an easy choice. Looking for a link to my sister forced me into the lion’s den. They bit me down to the bone, where it hurt, made me second-guess my own sanity and choices, all to rip everything out from under me.

What I still don’t understand is why?

“Class is over, Miss Weston. You’re free to go.” Byron’s voice cuts through my thoughts.

I turn away from the window to see the lecture hall empty of students except Dixon. Shit. I pack my bag and swing it over my shoulder. They’re on me before I hit the bottom step.

“What has you all in a daze, huh?” Dixon bumps into me, almost tripping me. “You seemed in deep thought all of class.”

“Don’t you think, at some point you should worry about yourself, and a little bit less about me?” I attempt to walk around him. A hand wraps around my bicep, tightly tugging on me. Dixon grins. “It’s the quiet ones that we need to really worry about, isn’t it, Dixon?” I yank my arm away.

“You have no idea what I’m capable of. I can destroy your entire world with the click of a button.”

“You’re going to have to do better than that, Dixon, because you’ve already destroyed my entire world.
