Chapter Twenty-Four

RUDY

The one thing I didn’t really consider when taking Julio’s suggestion was how it would make me the center of attention.

Sure, nobody came right up to me to ask me questions or anything, but people would cluster together and whisper, their eyes roaming up and down my body, wondering what I was hiding under my clothes that could make the queen bee herself lose her damn mind.

I also didn’t consider the fact that everyone was too afraid of Julianne to confront her directly, or even tell her what people (specifically myself, my brothers, and Kennedy) had been saying about her.

She and her posse walked around blissfully ignorant for most of the day, while all around us the rumors were spreading like wildfire and speculations grew into conspiracy theories.

It wasn’t until we got to music class that she became aware of anything out of the ordinary.

Kennedy and I were set up on one side of the room with our guitars, working on the arrangement for the duet we were planning to sing for the talent show. Julianne sat across from us, pointedly ignoring Kennedy’s existence.

I wouldn’t have been paying attention to her at all if it weren’t for the wide-eyed, frightened looking girl sitting near the teacher. She kept shooting looks from me to Julianne and back again, and I swear her hands were shaking as she readied her oboe.

She looked like she was waiting for something to happen. Since I’m not a fan of being taken off-guard, I waited along with her.

She tensed up when Julianne touched her violin case, and shook so hard she nearly dropped her oboe.

Adrenaline shot down my spine, making my fingers clumsy, and I ruined a chord. Loudly.

“What’s the matter?” Kennedy asked.

“Don’t know yet,” I murmured. “Keep playing.”

Kennedy frowned, but went ahead with the song. I kept half an eye on Julianne and let the nervous girl quiver in my peripheral vision.

Julianne was whispering with someone, ignoring her violin entirely, and shooting the occasional disgusted look in my direction.

I slowly became aware of the other silent conversations happening around the room—every time Julianne looked at me, it set off a chain reaction of knowing looks and disbelieving smirks.

When Julianne opened her case, nervous girl dropped her oboe and drew the eye of every person in class—including Julianne.

“Wow, clumsy much?” Julianne smirked.

The girl muttered an embarrassed apology, everything in her body language indicating that she wanted nothing more than to sink into the floor.

Julianne rolled her eyes and shook her head, then turned back to her violin case.

And froze.

A frown slowly creased her features as she reached a tentative hand into the case. She withdrew just as slowly, pulling a scrap of paper out of the case. She flicked it open with one hand and skimmed the note.

Her eyes widened and she paled, then she read it again. She stopped breathing, her eyes popping, her body rigid. Her head snapped up to fix those wild eyes on me. She snarled soundlessly, then jerked out of her chair, careless of the damage done to her violin when it hit the floor.
