Chapter 8

Nora

Everything’s back to normal today, which is to say that nothing feels normal and I still don’t know where I stand with Teague. After our run last night, during which I completely felt like I was dying and slowing Teague down the entire time, we both came home, took showers, and went to bed without talking.

Laying in bed after my shower, my wet hair draped over my pillow, I had placed my hand over my heart and felt it pound. Running with Teague instead of running from Teague was…different. It wasn’t terrible, besides the fact that he’s in much better shape than I am and I struggled to keep up the entire time.

Now, though, sitting in class, I can’t believe that I actually went out into the woods with him. I’m so desperate for him to care for me and to not hate me that it’s difficult for me to set clear boundaries. Tapping my pencil on my desk, I think about my mom.

She would shit a brick if she knew what Teague had done to me and that I was still hanging out with him. The smart thing to do would be to back off of spending time with him, but it feels impossible. Shifting in my seat, I watch as the rest of the class slowly files in. Bethany’s in my class and usually she sits in the very back corner, as far away from me as she can get. Today, though, she beelines for me, dropping her books down on the desk next to me.

The student sitting there, some guy named Mark, looks up in surprise. The grumpy look on his face disappears when he looks up and sees Bethany standing over him, her hands on her hips. “Move, loser.” She pops her gum for emphasis and grins when he gathers his books and scoots out of her way.

Looking straight forward, I try to ignore her. Teague told me that she’s the one who put the maggots in my locker, which means that she’s not only more evil than I first thought, but also somehow has access to my locker, which is a little scary.

“Aren’t you going to say hi?” Bethany leans over and I catch a whiff of her sweet peppermint breath. It’s the sweetest thing about her – the rest of her is rotten and evil. Glancing at her out of the corner of my eye, I see that she’s staring at me, a grin on her face.

“Bethany. Hi.” It’s the best that I can do, and I glance at the door, praying that the teacher will come in. I don’t know why she’s taken a special interest in me now, but I don’t like it.

She pouts, sticking out her lower lip and crossing her arms. “I thought we were friends, Nora. Is that any way to greet your friend?” Now I do glance over at her, taking in her bright blue eyes. I thought they were beautiful the first time I met her, but they’re dangerous pools with drop-offs and cliffs.
