CHAPTER 15

LENA.

"She's dead! She's dead!"

I sat frozen in my seat, immobile and unable to make sense of what was happening or why she was yelling and crying about somebody being dead.

I probably had a brain distortion for a minute and when she crumpled to the ground, I felt my feet move again. My chair screeched loudly against the monochromatic tiled floors and I rushed over to where she was on the floor, sobbing and hitting her chest.

No one had moved. They were all still staring at her. Oh well, it was the weird Alexa who had a racoon for a pet which she brought to class in a glass box and a depressed and suicidal friend who was going to die soon anyways. But that wasn't the way I saw her.

I had seen her a few times. Noticed how she stared at me while I walked through the hallways with Leah clinging to me. Noticed how she had whispered into her friend's ear and how the girl with blue coloured hair and multiple piercings and a scary gothic look nodded with a smirk.
