Chapter 0023

The next day, I pick up Jason and head to school.

I walk into the cafeteria and look around. Everyone stops what they are doing and looks at me, watching. I stand there for a second, before heading to the lunch line to get food. No one

stops me or follows me, so I get my lunch and go to sit down. Conversations start up again and I can tell everyone is a bit disappointed that nothing is happening. If I’m being honest with myself, I’m a bit.
