To say Serena hadn’t taken Lyle’s “orders” well would be the understatement of the year. It’s been three days, and she’s still hardly speaking to him. Last night had been the first time she broke her silence, and it had been for her to call him an asshole when he told her that Blair would be going with her to work.

It’s better than nothing, I guess.

Even with how those two argue, three days is a long time.

Today we have class, and I’m not sure if I’m grateful that it’s one we all have together or worried because of it. No doubt Rena would’ve been pissed about being assigned another babysitter, as she called us, and whoever it was, I’m sure, would be on her shit list too. But with us all already there, she might just try to kill us in front of everyone.

I hate when Rena’s upset, but I hate it even more when she’s mad at us, and no matter what she says, she is, in fact, mad at all of us.

How could she not be?

Once again, we all sided with Lyle. Someone needed to be with her. Between her collapsing in class and whatever had happened the other night, something wasn’t right, and we’re all worried about her. She felt like she was weak because of it, but it wasn’t that at all.

We just don’t want her to get hurt.

I hope we can find some kind of common ground before the hunt next week. It won’t be the same like this, and I know Rena always looks forward to it.

“Hey, Rena,” I call out to her through the crack in the door as I knock.

She doesn’t answer, but I know she’s in there. It’s been where she’s spent most of her time the last few days. Always claiming she has homework to do or that she’s tired and wants to nap, but I know better.

We all do.

She’s never shut herself away from us like this. We usually study together, and it’s not like we all haven’t passed out when we’re too tired to think anymore.

Right now, she doesn’t want to be around us, and as much as that stings, we’re all trying to respect it. Some of us are doing better than others, but whatever.

It just sucks that we can’t be with her. We’re all so used to being together that I can’t imagine this is any easier on her. Hell, it might be harder since she’s the one dealing with all this crazy stuff already.

When I knock again and she still doesn’t answer I push the door open. Just a few inches so that I can peek inside.

She’s curled up on the bed. A textbook laying open next to her, but she’s fast asleep with her headphones in.

No wonder she didn’t answer me. I swear, if she weren’t a shifter, she would be deaf from how loud she listens to her music.

I push the door open further before stepping inside, and walking over to her bed. She’s curled up on her side, almost in the fetal position.
