Chapter 6

Dream of Death

I blink as he disappears into the hallway and I press my lips together.

Death.

That's a bit dramatic. Still, I have that empty, twisty feeling in my gut that makes me feel nauseous.

"Don't worry, he treats everyone like that."

I snap my attention to a smiling girl that sits a desk away from me. She looks to the teacher for a second before grabbing her things and shifting to the seat Zaid had just left.

"I'm not worried," I whisper. "I'm just glad he finally left."

She snorts. "Yeah, he tends to make everyone feel like that."

I snort back.

"I'm Nikki, you're new, huh?"

I smile, "Alina, yeah I am. Only my second day so far. Is it so obvious that I'm new?"

She studies me as she hums. "Well, you're really pretty, hard to miss you when half the school is talking about you."

My cheeks heat up and I groan, “Oh, please don't tell me I've become the hot new topic of gossip. I wanted to blend in."

"Well when you have Aiden and Zaid trailing behind you it's kind of hard to blend in." She smiles at me like she has some inside joke with the rest of the school and I am left out in the open.

I shake my head, frowning. "What's up with that anyway? Aiden has a girlfriend, doesn't he?"
