Chapter 2
Soften The Blow
When I walked into my father and brother's funeral, all eyes were on me.
They stared, and whispered, some with pity in their eyes, but most of them with judgement.
I remember that feeling. The twist of my stomach, the taste of bile in my throat and the pounding of my heart.
As I walk into that first classroom, with Aiden beside me and his arm still around my shoulder, I feel exactly like I did then.
Everyone takes their eyes from the board where Mr. Admas is teaching and they stare right at me like I have elephant ears on the sides of my head. I hear a loud whistle, as if someone is shocked at the sight of us at the door.
I swallow and turn to Mr. Admas, who raises an eyebrow.
He looks us up and down, "Aiden. You're late."
Aiden clicks his tongue and winks, "I have a pass from the office."
Mr. Admas takes the slip from his fingers, reading it quickly and places it on his desk. "Take your seat."
Aiden lowers his arm from my shoulder, letting his fingertips drag down my skin and he squeezes my waist. "I'll save a seat for you."
"Where's your pass?"
I feel my cheeks heat. "I-I don't have one."
He crosses his arms on his chest. "You're late."
"I know, but-" I swallow, ignoring the whispers that echo around the room. "I'm new?"
Mr. Admas narrows his eyes. "I know. That doesn't excuse your tardiness."
I wrap my arms around my waist, grimacing as some of the kids laugh from their
seats.
