Chapter 26 ~ Awkward Exam

Athena

"Come on Athena! You missed every party we've had. We need to celebrate our final paper!” Mira hooks her hand Into mine and I wince.

"Careful, I'm still in pain." It has been two weeks since my accident and my body has healed but when too much pressure is applied, it stings.

After I was discharged, officers came home and asked if I had anyone who would target me and honestly, I couldn't think of anyone. Ariana suggested they get me a bodyguard but I declined.

It was going to just cause unnecessary attention.

They were reluctant at first but I managed to convince them and now here I am.

Mira has been my friend since my first year and although I wouldn't call her my best friend, she's the closest I have to one.

Her face reddens. "Oh I'm so sorry. I thought you were better."

I laugh, “I am. We can talk about the party once I write my exams, okay? I'm anxious and I'm not sure they'll let me sit for them."

One thing about this school is that they don't compromise and reputat ion and don't take excuses for missing exams.

I've seen people barely able to sit attend their exams because they are afraid they won't be given a chance to write a deferred.

I guess that's why it's the best medical sc ol!

Mira laughs pulling me back to reality and I frown.

What are we talking about again?

I stiffen at her words, my grip tightening slightly around my notebook.

I totally forgot about Melanie. I guess I hit... wait.. could she be the

one who pushed me?

What am I thinking?

"Theories?" I echo, keeping my voice even.

Mira nods eagerly. "Oh, yeah. Some people say he's your secret lover, others think
