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."

Mira laughs pulling me back to reality and I frown.

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
