I FELT MY BREATHING GETTING HEAVIER AS I STARED at the person in front of me in shock. I kept my mouth shut as they stared into my panicked eyes.
"I'm gonna slowly remove my hand now, okay?" They whispered
I only gave them a quick nod before I felt them slowly remove their hand from my face. I tried to take a couple of silent deep breaths as I kept my back against the wall. The person next to me subtly peeked into the room before shutting their eyes in frustration and returning to their hiding spot. I felt my head begin to grow dizzy as the darkness of the back entrance began to consume me, but the person next to me was quick to put their hand on my shoulder. They lightly shook me back awake while slowly pulling out their phone.
"I need you to stay with me," They said
I again gave them a nod before trying to get a hold of my surroundings. I watched as they cautiously sent a text to what I presumed to be more people who could come help us. After they sent the text they turned off their phone, making sure that the light wasn't seen from inside the classroom, before putting it back into their pocket.
"You're Gorya's little sister, right?" The person quietly asked me
I looked back up at them before giving them a small nod. I couldn't bring myself to find my voice as I felt my mouth go dry at the sight of the girl getting beaten up in the room. It seemed that the person next to me was just as upset at the situation as they clenched their jaw and stared at the wall straight ahead.
"I-is someone coming?" I whispered
They looked at me before putting their finger over their lips and nodding. I felt myself grow slightly hopeful at the thought of more people coming to stop this situation. It would be okay, it would all be okay. I lifted my hand to my heart as I tried to slow down my heart rate, but as I lifted my hand my eyes went to the small bracelet hanging on it. It was hard to believe that less than an hour ago I was having the time of my life playing that game with Ren. I would have grabbed him and walked into the school with him had I known this would be happening.
"Grab the knife. Let's leave a mark that Thyme would recognize"
