I softly close Abbie’s door behind me and creep down the hallway. She’s finally fallen asleep, but my worry still hasn’t eased. I’ve never seen her anything but confident, determined even. I suppose we all have our scars beneath the surface, but this has proven to me she can’t handle this relationship. The first hint of being exposed and she’s frozen up on me, treating me like a stranger.

As I walk the length of the hallway, my heart seizes up and drops into my gut. Why do I feel like this? She’s just another female, I should be used to walking away by now but this feels different.

Terrance Walters, the history professor, is walking up the staircase as I approach, his grey eyebrows shooting up at the sight of me. I keep my spine straight and grunt at him with my usual nod. I couldn’t care less about being seen on this floor as I have a valid excuse—this once. Passing my apartment on the lower floor, I shove the main doors aside and head straight for the main office block.

If Harriett fucking Longstaff thinks she can threaten others with secrets, she’s going to love the whole school knowing her mom has been going down on Brian from admissions since her dad took their family fortune, and a waitress, to Greece. Yeah, she’s not the only one who has eyes and ears all over campus. However, if I find out her eyes and ears have wandered into my business, there’ll be nothing Brian can do for her. She’ll be out on her ass fast enough to have concrete burn.

Throwing the door to the office block wide open, I storm inside and fly up the opposite staircase. I can hear the raised voices before I turn the corner, Harriett’s shriek unmistakable. Peeking through the doorway, I see Musgrove primed to attack the blonde currently shrieking across the desk, with only Thornton’s body marginally in the way, stopping her.

“As Head Girl, I have a duty to the student body and it’s their right to know who they are living and learning amongst! You can’t withhold infor—”

“That’s quite enough.” Thornton’s voice breaks through Harriett’s whining. “Both of you are to head back to your dorms immediately, do not stop anywhere else on the way. Once I’ve gathered statements from the other witnesses in the cafeteria, I will call you both back for mediation. Until then, you are not to discuss this matter with each other or anybody else.” Thornton’s aged eyes pass between the two, years of melodramatic shit weighing on his sagged shoulders. There’s the shuffle of movement so I lurch back and rest against the wall, relaxing my pose. Seems like everything is taken care of here, but I hang around to perfect my death stare.

Harriett is first out, narrowing her eyes at me before stomping away in her cork-style wedges. Musgrove is next, just as suspicious, but she nods whilst walking past in the opposite direction. Deciding there’s nothing else to do here, I turn to leave when a harsh voice pierces the air.
