Tobias My entire body shakes when I enter the bathroom. My vision is darkened, hands fumbling with the buttons of my jeans. Why is my blood boiling? It's a miracle I manage to get naked and walk over to the shower. Though, not even the water can save me. Even as it sluices off my shoulders, I'm s
"N-nobody will hear me scream?" Hannah sobs. "Are you really that angry with me that you're threatening me now?" What? I stare at the door, dumbfounded, until it opens, and an unhappy Hannah enters. At first, she looks ready to cry, but then she blinks and blinks and stares at me, white in the fac

A wave of conflicting emotions bubbles up within me, but I mash them down with the sheer force of my mind. Sarah had her chance to stand right by me, and she messed it up—I should be focusing on trying to charm Hannah into liking me. With that in mind, I continue working. I make a few phone calls
Hannah "Do you realize why I dragged you out here?" I whisper-yell at Tobias, who, infuriatingly enough, holds his hands on his knees. He also squats and beams at me, which is irritating. I want to finish my presentation with the others. But how am I supposed to relax and practice my speech with
