“Are you sure about this?” Dixon asks, settling beside me outside the cafeteria.

We’re between exams right now. Most of our classmates are taking the lunch hour to grab a quick snack and tuck their noses into the books. Exam time on campus is a personal hell for most of us. These tests count for half of our grades. Glass Heart Academy doesn’t give a shit how we learn, as long as we retain. How that helps us is beyond me. In my opinion, education is nothing but a broken system.

“Not really, but do we have any other choice?” I admit.

I’ve spent the last two days distancing myself from Palmer. It’s the only way to make things believable.

“Well, for starters, we could torture Reed until she gives us some real information.”

“You don’t believe her, then?” I look at him for a split second. When my eyes turn away, I spot Palmer. She rounds the corner behind one of the buildings and sits on the mark we’d agreed upon, in the middle of the quad.

“I think Reed is manipulative, and this may sound ironic coming from someone like me”— he grins— “but the girl is unhinged.”

“She was scared, and while her choices don’t make much sense, let’s try to give her the benefit of the doubt.” I smack the side of his leg as I stand. “We have more important matters to deal with in the meantime.”

“How do you plan on playing this?” Dixon asks as I walk away from him.

“What we did to Palmer before will look like child’s play.” I turn my head and grin.

He shakes his head, a hint of disapproval in his eyes as I turn away and head straight across the quad.

Quinn and Dillon are close, their heads together as they watch me pass. I’ll need to deal with them soon, but for now, my main concern is reading her favorite book. I stop in front of her, eyeing the way her fingers grip the edge of the cover as if the words have coiled around her spine, winding her tight.

When she floats back to reality, Palmer’s eyes lift, and the book drops from in front of her beautiful, soon-to-be broken smile.

“You okay?” she questions.

“I think we need to talk,” I demand, reaching my hand out to help her to her feet.

“What’s going on, Marek?” She bends, trying to force my eyes to hers, but I jerk away, drawing the attention of our classmates. “You’re scaring me.”

“No, if anyone is going to be scared, it’s me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“You think I don’t know what you’ve been doing. I should’ve realized it after you were exposed at Georgina’s celebration.”

“Should have known what?” She grabs my arm, jerking me around to face her. “What the hell is going on?”

Dixon appears at my side. “Don’t play coy, Palmer. Even if we weren’t told, we know the truth has been right under our noses this entire time.”

“Dixon, mind your business. This has nothing to do with you!” Palmer yells, drawing an even bigger crowd.
