Another wave of bad news blasted into my reality when I arrived at school around eleven o’clock. A sense of mourning hung in the air as students roamed the halls, hiding their faces inside their hoodies. Others stood nearby the auditorium, lingering with tears pooling in the corners of their eyes.

As I passed by the auditorium doors, I halted in my tracks. For the first time, the doors were closed. Shut, as if seeing the stage that once held many auditions and performances, was to be kept hidden.

I hurried to class, straining to hear the rumors traveling between the lockers about Devin dying from an allergic reaction from peanut oil. And that it was done on purpose. How did they know for sure? Was it on the news? Had the cops spoken with someone who’d passed it on? This was crazy.

A girl who saw me coming snickered and said, “I hear your boyfriend’s going to jail.”

Nervousness trickled in as I searched for Austin, but there was no sign of him or James.

With an hour left of school, Austin returned, and I cornered him at his locker. “Why would the police think you had something to with what happened to Devin?’

“Devin and I argued about her leaving my boy, James alone.”

“It was none of your business.”

“I made it my business.” Austin walked around me and stormed off toward the band room.

The words, let me help you, halted in my throat. It made no sense to chase after him. No matter what James had told me, it was hard to see Austin lifting a finger to hurt someone. But I figured at least I could step in to prove that my boyfriend was innocent. If it were true.
