Chapter 11
I was hiding in a corner.
Someone touched me and I flinched. I looked up.
Deppy was looking at me with worried eyes. Our height difference made her look almost level at me even with me crouching down. I looked around, there was no sign of Erinyes.
“What happened Mahi?” she asked me but I had nothing to reply.
I walked back to the classroom and Deppy held my arm, as if to support me if I fell. I walked past my classmates, they were staring and whispering amongst themselves. I’d never been so ashamed in my life.
I walked past them, a couple of boys tried to make some sort of tease but Deppy nipped that in the bud. I looked into the classroom.
Other than my own desk, the one I had flipped over, everything else was where it should be. I expected to find a bloody battlefield inside, but it was just my stuff on the floor. I picked them up hastily and put them in my bag, which Deppy was holding open for me. I propped up the chair and the desk, and head low, I jogged out of there.
