Chapter 24

• The silence in the cafeteria was deafening, and I could hear my heart thumping loudly in my chest as I made my way to Kai’s table. My legs were shaking, and I felt that any moment now, I would fall, as they would be unable to hold me anymore.
• Eyes followed me, some wide in disbelief while the others only watched out of curiosity or pity. Whispers followed immediately as some took out their phones to record my downfall.
