Chapter Twenty Nine

The hallway was bustling after lunch, students chattering and rushing to their next classes. I was making my way to English when i felt a sudden, sharp tug on my arm. Before I could protest, I was pulled into the dimly lit janitor's closet.

Reality snapped back into focus.

"Stop," I said, pushing at his chest, my voice breathless.
