Chapter 9

(Adeline)

“Your assignment is due next week. Two-thousand-word essay,” Mr. Dusk announces to the class who respond in groans. “Gargoyle architecture was meant to scare away evil spirits, but where did the concept of such statues coming to life come from?”

I frantically make notes, already planning out the essay in my head, and I’ve decided to head to the library during a free period I have coming up for research.

Mr. Dusk breaks into a discussion about where the first gargoyle is recorded on buildings. Egypt, Greece, and China have the earliest versions, but the gothic ones I’ve seen commonly in movies comes from Europe.

I take more notes, but my mind keeps returning to Alexander and Dante, to memories I will never forget. My stomach is tingling with the reminder of how my body hummed beneath Alexander. The way he made love to me was primal and filled with hunger, but the tenderness in his eyes had me melting. His words still linger in my mind. He opened up, showed me a part of himself that touched me, left me desiring him endlessly. My face warms at the memory of what he did to my body, and small jolts of the euphoria I experienced the night before zip to the pits of my stomach. I also can’t get Dante out of my head. It felt like we took a huge step in our relationship last night. I’ll never forget him telling me that he was choosing me. I choose him too.

I lift my gaze to Mr. Dusk still waffling on, noting Clarissa sitting in the front row, eyeing him while her hand grazes over her breast, catching his attention. He stumbles over his words, and I roll my eyes that she harasses me while she’s having an affair with a teacher too and flirting with him in plain sight of everyone.

Hypocrite.

As she shifts in her seat, I see she’s wearing a mini school skirt, her legs not exactly closed, and she’s got on white gold hoop earrings and a matching delicate bracelet. Did Mr. Dusk gift them to her? They look expensive. I still don’t understand why she hates me so much because to me it seems she has everything she wants.

When class ends, I notice she lingers behind, so I quickly scoop up my books and rush out of the class, making my way to my locker to dump them.

My stomach is growling, the hunger deepening. After a quick detour into the food hall where I eat a chicken salad sandwich in record time, I sneak out an apple and make my way to the library, biting into the crisp, green fruit as I walk.

A buzz vibrates in my pocket and I pull out my phone and see a message from Mercy. I smile instantly and tap it open.

Hope you’re not getting up to anything perverted with the hot squad while I’m not there. Miss you so much.

If only she knew the half of it, and I frantically type my response as I stroll over the lawn.
