"Mr. King, what-" Mr. Dalton starts, but Alexander's cold voice cuts through.
"I suggest you think carefully before uttering another word, Dalton."
A heavy silence falls.
Melanie's father pales "Mr. King? Do you know this cri- young lady?"
Alexander doesn't even spare him a glance. His focus is solely on me, his eyes locking onto mine like he can read everything I'm thinking.
I try to figure out what he's thinking but I come up empty. He gives nothing away.
“Get up.” His voice is commanding. Making all the hairs on my body rise.

Mr. Dalton clears his throat.
"Mr. King, this is a serious matter-'
Alexander's gaze finally shifts to him, sharp as a blade. "Serious? You mean this pathetic attempt at framing my-"
My heart pounds even harder. Hope is starting to grow like a balloon.

until a guy in a hoodie steps up to her. They exchange a few words, then suddenly, she throws herself onto the ground. She punches her own face.
Gasps fill the room. My own stomach twists in disbelief.
