Chapter 60

Aryan-

Dirk took me to a room upstairs, where he closed the door and locked it behind him after I entered. He looked upset and confused as if he were trying to sort something out in his head. I didn’t know what this was about, but I had a feeling it was about me disappearing for a bit.

“I am sorry I didn’t tell you anything before taking off the way I did. It had been a spur-of-the-moment thing. I had embarrassed myself in front of the school in an attempt to win Kierian back. I never gave him a chance to respond, and I took off feeling hurt. I wanted to clear my head, and some things happened along the way. He followed me, and we ended up getting together.”

I blurted out my excuse for disappearing. I refrained from telling him everything. The rest wasn’t what a human needed to hear. Knowing him, he would offer to help because that was the kind of friend that he was. Since things are too dangerous, I felt it was better just to keep things focused on my relationship with Kierian.
