CHAPTER 19

Lynx:

Even though we worked on our school project separate from Emily, I still felt her staring all the time, maybe it was because of my hair, or maybe, if I was being more paranoid; she was suspicious of me. Our meetings to work on our project were my less favorite part of the day since Jack and Amber were constantly flirting and they had no shame to kiss and snuggle right in front of me like I wasn't there. All this did was just make me tense and I couldn't help but notice that my little gift for Jack had completed its purpose, but I am gonna choose to not explain what it did; so you, my reader find out later.

On an evening when I was waiting outside for my dad to pick me up, I felt steps behind me, and as a reflex, I defended myself by casting a spell to push back whoever was behind me, and that was the worst move I could have ever done. When I turned back, I saw Emily's frail old body hitting the floor, and if the loud crack of bones wasn't enough to tell me that I had put too much strength, so did her furious stare. I had two options, one; act dumb and pretend that I didn't know what had happened, but this was an option that would backfire in many different ways, and my other option was to run, but this would just confirm that I was guilty and it definitively it wasn't right to leave and old lady alone after she was just injured, and she was also Amber's grandma. What did I choose?, to help her up and to stand in silence to wait for her to start yelling at me, and I would have rather had that happen, than what really did happen. After she had regained her composure she started yelling every single detail of my life in the orphanage and how I had screwed up her life, I chose to act confused, and that just made her angrier, my only escape was the sound of my car arriving and with a quick goodbye, I climbed onto the car.
