Rion Turner transfers from her fifth school this year to Kent High only to be sent to detention on her first day. Although, I'd say that's probably the least of her worries ..
A/N: A 2 for 2 ! I updated a second time because you guys are awesome and you deserve it. Oh, bittersweet news, guys! 3 more chapters left—that's including the Epilogue so stay tuned ! And thank you guys so much for giving this book a chance. It means so so so much to me💕

"Hey, I wanna say thanks for saving my ass back there in the shelter and sorry for being a dick to you." Grover stops me in the cafeteria.
"We're all good here." I smile, and he pulls me in to hug me.
Diesel clears his throat as he walks in, making us pull apart. "I'll be over there." Grover goes and sits where everyone else were, while Diesel follows behind.
"Okay, so only one of us can go outside and look for help." I say, finishing up the last name on a piece of paper before throwing it into the metal bowl. "We're drawing names." I set the bowl in front of Natalie. "Everybody except Natalie."
"No." She says. "No, I don't want to be treated differently."
"In your state, you'd be at a distinct disadvantage if you go out there." Barrett tells her.
"He's right." Zoe says.
Natalie sighs and pulls out a name. "Diesel." My stomach drops as soon as she says it.

Diesel looks at me. "It's all right."
Barrett hands him the mask, "See if we need to make any adjustments. Put it on."
Diesel stares at the mask for a bit, "Hey, is something wrong?" Grover asks.
"Just give me a minute." He says and I nod. " "I just don't like feeling closed in."
"You're claustrophobic?" I ask.
"No." He clears his throat before putting on the mask. "I'll be fine."

"He can't go out there." Barrett says just as Diesel starts to hyperventilate under the mask.
