Chapter 99

In the morning, there were just two classes. Once they were done, Katniss had a break until the afternoon.

The afternoon was jam-packed with internal medicine classes.

After class, Katniss stuffed her books into her backpack, getting ready to hit the library and prep for the afternoon's internal medicine session.

She'd never really dug into systematic medical theory before.

Juniper had gone abroad last week, right when Katniss was still stuck in the hospital.

At school, with Juniper gone, Katniss was pretty much on her own. She'd just switched departments and didn't know most of her classmates. So, she went to and from classes solo.

Just as she stepped out of the classroom, a guy with black-framed glasses suddenly blocked her path. "Katniss?"

"Yeah, that's me. And you are?" Katniss nodded, eyeing the guy with some confusion. He looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.

Honestly, she didn't know anyone in the class except for Cecil and his two buddies, who'd caused trouble on day one.

Jeremy adjusted his glasses, a hint of surprise on his face. "I'm Jeremy Wright, the class president. The notes your friend Juniper borrowed were mine."

Katniss's eyes lit up in realization, and she thanked him repeatedly. So, it was his notebook Juniper had borrowed.

"Can you give me your contact info and address? I need to register the new students," he said.

Katniss gave him her phone number and address.

After swapping numbers, Jeremy added, "Oh, and one more thing. Professor Jenkins asked me to tell you to go to his office. He needs to see you."
