I managed to make it through the rest of the day without imploding. My only saving grace was skipping study hall. I didn’t know if Church would sit next to Dani and flirt his way through class, but I couldn’t take the risk to my heart. I would have to see him tomorrow at my first training session. Darius, my happy buffer, couldn’t be there, and the tension between Sutton and Church wasn’t helping. I figured the more time and space I got away from Church, the better.

Thankfully, Ms. Meadows worked me in during seventh period again. Her office had started to feel like my homeroom. I still wasn’t always sure how much to trust her, despite her calming voice and the fact that I trusted her son implicitly. I disagreed with too many of her opinions, like the fact that we shouldn’t hang out together at school to the idea that we couldn’t try harder to go after the football players.

She gave me an understanding smile and leaned across her desk toward me. “How are you processing everything?”

I sighed. “Probably about how you’d expect. It’s a lot. But I’m weirdly … okay with the whole supe thing. I think.”

Her eyebrows went up. “You are?”

“The thing is—that’s not all that’s going on.”

I met her gaze, still teetering on the edge of whether to spill everything about the guys still bothering me and my dad’s sudden decision to move. My eyes caught on the jar on her desk, the one full of pebbles, each one representing one of her prayers. I might have been imagining it, but it seemed like there were more tiny rocks than last time I’d been in her office.

Imagined or not, that tiny detail made my decision. I launched into telling her everything. Well. Everything but Church. All things considered, my crush hardly seemed to matter.

I started with listing off the things that Tom and Drew and Phillip had been doing. Her mouth had drawn into a hard line by the time I was finished. She shook her head.

“I am so sorry, Taya. The fact that those boys are still doing what they do infuriates me.”

Did it? Because I couldn’t help but feel like there were so many things we could do but weren’t doing. At the least, she had a legal obligation to report it. If the cops couldn’t get anyone to talk, then at least there was an attempt made.

“I know what you’re thinking—I’m not doing anything.”

I shrugged. “Actually, yeah.”

Her dark eyes zeroed in on mine. “Will you trust me?”

Did I? Could I?

“Just a little while longer.”

The trouble was, I didn’t know how much longer I had. For now, I could agree. I nodded, then ran my hands over the edge of her desk.

“If I tell you something, will you keep it between us?”

She smiled. “That’s my job.”

“I know. I mean, will you not tell Sutton and everyone in the group?”

“I can agree to that. Is there a reason you don’t want them to know? I thought you were all growing close.
