CHAPTER SEVEN

Running

Mary walked through school on high alert. She was primed to swing out at anyone who came at her. As far as she was concerned, Tyler had declared war on her and Kyle. He had a lot of friends, and he'd already shown how far he'd go.

Gran had offered to let her stay home, but Mary couldn't handle the thought of sitting in the house waiting. She had to come to school and get the lay of the land.

She watched everyone with a cautious eye and kept checking over her shoulder to see who was there. Her nervous looks only met the blank gazes of fellow students who were just trying to get their dreary Monday over with.

She headed to her locker to stow her afternoon books. When someone poked the back of her neck, she whirled around with her fist up.

Rachel's sunny smile fell away. "Whoa, chica. What's up?"

Mary slumped and dropped her fist. "Don't sneak up on me."

"What's going on?" Rachel asked.

"Tyler Porter is no longer Kyle's friend," Mary said.

"So, they had a falling out. Why are you freaked?"

Mary told her friend about the previous night.

"Why didn't you call me?" Rachel demanded.

As they headed toward Mary's class, Mary said, "Because you had the play and then everything just happened so fast."

"You should've called me. We would've been over there in a heartbeat. Play or no play."

"Thanks. But it worked out, thankfully. Can you keep an ear out for me?" she asked Rachel. "I wanna know what the chatter is about last night."

"Yeah. I'll see what I can find out."

They'd reached Mary's class. "Meet back at my locker for TAB?" Mary asked.

Rachel nodded.

Mary went into class and scanned the room. She knew it was her imagination, but all the boys looked sinister this morning. All of their smiles had the veneer of a sneer.

She took her seat and made herself close her eyes and take a couple of deep breaths. She knew her nerves were getting the best of her. She needed to chill.

When it was time to go to second period, Mary went back on high alert. The halls were swarming with students moving from class to class. She couldn't track everyone, and frankly she didn't know who was a threat and who wasn't.

When she got to class, her heart was pounding. Tyler and his friends didn't need to do anything to her. She was doing a good job of messing with her head all by herself.

She had to admit that the school didn't seem to be buzzing with any talk about last night. Maybe the news hadn't gotten around, or maybe no one was talking. But she had to know what the deal was. Why had Tyler drugged Kyle and left him at The Bluff? He had to have known how dangerous that was. Kyle could've fallen or gotten frostbite. She stopped short of thinking about the worst that could have happened. And now the police were involved. There would be consequences.

At TAB, Mary went to her locker.
