Chapter Seven
I stood once again at the entrance of Elite High like a statue frozen in time, but this time, everyone was staring at me. Some were smiling, and many were talking discreetly on the sidelines or in front of my face. Many rumors circulated as to why Matthew had tried to kill me, and a few of these guys even blamed me.

I would have preferred that they shared their feelings toward me more openly instead of doing the 'stop and stare.' I felt completely alone and vulnerable once again as I did the first time in that spot.
