The question hung in the air between us."I think so," I said, being careful. "But I don't know anything.""All right." She closed her portfolio. "That's all for now. If you do notice anything concerning, or remember something later, please don't hesitate to reach out." She handed me a card. "My number is there. You can call anytime, and our conversation will be completely confidential."I took the card; my fingers were numb. "Am I free to go?""Yes. And Lydia?" The voice of Principal Beatrice was soft. "Thank you for your cooperation. We know this is uncomfortable, but it's important."I nodded and stood on shaky legs. At the door, Mrs. Chen spoke again."Oh, one more thing. Who are you interviewing next?Principal Beatrice checked her list. "Emily Spencer, then Jessica Morrison, then Chloe Banks."My stomach dropped. Emily. They were going to interview Emily. And I had no doubt what she would tell them.

Chapter fifty two

EMILY'S POVI sat in the hall outside Principal Beatrice's office, hands folded perfectly in my lap, ankles crossed the way Mother had taught me. Perfect posture, perfect smile, perfect Emily Spencer.I was screaming inside.I could hear the muffled voices through the door. Lydia had been in there for twenty minutes. Twenty minutes of probably lying her ass off, playing the innocent victim card she was so good at.The door opened and she walked out, pale but composed. Our eyes met for barely a second.She looked terrified.Good."Miss Spencer?" The school secretary, Mrs. Carter, motioned toward the open door. "They're ready for you now."I stood, smoothing down my uniform skirt. I'd changed after my disaster in Derek's classroom yesterday—back into my school uniform, hair neatly brushed, minimal makeup. I looked like the perfect student. The perfect daughter. The perfect girl who would never do anything wrong.

Chapter fifty three

I let myself look uncomfortable, shifting in my seat. "I. I guess it would depend on what it was. I wouldn't want to get someone in trouble over nothing. Rumors can be really damaging.""That's very mature of you," Principal Beatrice said. "But if you genuinely suspected something inappropriate was happening, I hope you'd come forward.""Of course," I said quickly. "Absolutely. It's just. I have never seen anything of that sort. I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful.Mrs. Chen closed her portfolio. "You've been very helpful, Emily. Thank you for your time.""That's it?""For now. If you do notice anything concerning, please don't hesitate to reach out." She handed me a card. "My contact information is there."I took it, letting my fingers tremble just a little. Playing the concerned, nervous student to perfection."I hope whoever made that complaint was wrong," I said, standing up. "It's scary to think something like that c

Chapter fifty four

Lydia's POV Three days passed. Three days of holding my breath every time I walked into school, three days of jumping at every announcement over the PA system, three days of waiting for the other shoe to drop. But nothing happened. No calls to the principal's office. No follow-up interviews. No urgent messages from Mrs. Chen. It appeared as if the investigation had stalled, or perhaps was now over. I should have felt relieved. Instead, I felt I was standing in the eye of a hurricane-that eerie calm before everything went to hell. "Earth to Lydia." I blinked, focusing on Jess, who was waving a hand in front of my face. We sat in the cafeteria, our lunch trays mostly untouched between us. "Sorry," I muttered. "Spaced out." "You've been spacing out a lot lately." Jess stabbed at her pizza with a plastic fork. "More than usual, I mean. And

Chapter fifty five

"You know, Lydia, I've been thinking." She toyed with her pen, not quite meeting my eyes. "I've been kind of awful to you. Making you do things, spreading rumors. It wasn't cool.""Okay.""I'm not expecting you to forgive me or anything. But I wanted you to know I'm backing off. Whatever weird phase I was in, I'm over it. You do your thing, I'll do mine. Water under the bridge."Every instinct in my body screamed that this was wrong. Emily didn't apologize. She didn't back off."Why now?" I asked.She shrugged. "My therapist says I have issues with control and jealousy. She's probably right. Anyway, I just wanted to clear the air."Before I could answer, Derek walked back into the classroom.He looked shaken.Not terrified, not caught, but definitely rattled. His hands were not quite steady as he set down his coffee cup."Sorry about that," he said to the class. "Just some administrative stuff. Let's co

Chapter fifty six

Lydia's POV One week later, I was falling apart. Not dramatically. Not all at once. But slowly, quietly, like a building with a cracked foundation nobody had noticed until it was too late. I couldn't eat. Food tasted like cardboard, and my stomach was always in knots. I'd lost enough weight that my uniform was hanging loose on my frame, and Mom had started making comments about it over dinner. I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw scenarios playing out—Mrs. Chen finding evidence, Principal Beatrice calling me to her office, police officers showing up at my house. Derek being led away in handcuffs while I watched helplessly. And I couldn't focus. My grades, the one thing I'd always had, were slipping. I'd gotten a C on my calculus test. A C. Me, who'd never gotten below a B+ in my entire life. "Miss Martins?" I jerked my head up. Mrs. Patterson, my calculus teacher,

Chapter fifty seven

I set the phone down and stared at the ceiling. This was my life now: avoiding Derek at school, lying to everyone, watching Emily play nice while knowing she was plotting her next move, waiting for the investigation to find something or to finally give up.How long could I keep this up?My phone buzzed again. This time, it was an unknown number.My stomach clenched.Unknown: Tick tock, Lydia. Time's running out.I deleted it immediately, just like I'd deleted all the others over the past week. Emily's little mind games, trying to keep me on edge.It was working.Another buzz.Unknown: He's not worth it, you know. He'll never choose you. Not really. Not when it costs him everything.My hands were shaking as I blocked the number. But it didn't matter. She'd use another one tomorrow. She always did.I needed to do something. Anything. I couldn't just sit here waiting for everything to collapse.

Chapter fifty eight

Lydia's POVAnxiety enveloped me all day long while I attended school.Every class was agony: I couldn't focus on lectures, couldn't process homework assignments, couldn't think about anything except that 3:30 appointment.We've uncovered some information.What information? Security footage of us talking after class? An email I'd forgotten to delete? Had someone seen us together at the motel?Or had Emily finally decided to tell them everything?"Miss Martins, are you even listening?"I blinked. Mr. Rodriguez stared at me from the front of the history classroom, his expression somewhere between concerned and annoyed."Sorry, sir. Could you repeat the question?"He sighed. "I asked you to identify the main causes of the French Revolution.""Um." My mind was totally blank. I knew this. I'd studied this. But right now, I couldn't remember a single fact. "Economic inequality?"That's one.

Chapter fifty nine

Mrs. Chen's temporary office was in the administrative building, a small room that had probably been a storage closet at some point. There was barely space for a desk and two chairs.She was waiting when I arrived, her portfolio already open, pen in hand."Miss Martins, thank you for coming on such short notice. Please, sit."I sat, my hands folded into my lap to hide the trembling."I'll get straight to the point," she said. "We've received new information that we need you to clarify. Specifically, regarding your interactions with Mr. Derek Hales."Here it was."I already told you everything," I said, doing my best to keep my voice from shaking. "We're not close; he's just my teacher.""I see." She pulled out a photograph from her portfolio and slid it across the desk.My stomach dropped.It was Derek's car. His black sedan, parked outside of a building I recognized immediately—the motel on Route 5. Th

Chapter sixty

Derek's POVI watched Lydia walk past me in the hall outside Mrs. Chen's office. She didn't look at me—couldn't look at me—but I saw the terror in her rigid posture, the way her hands shook as she clutched her backpack straps.They had shown her something. Something bad enough to shake her that badly."Mr. Hales?" Mrs. Chen appeared in the doorway. "I'm ready for you now."I stood, smoothing my tie out of habit, and followed her into the cramped office. The same chair Lydia had just vacated was still warm when I sat down.Mrs. Chen settled behind her desk with that same clinical expression she'd worn during our first interview. Professional. Detached. Like she was documenting a particularly interesting insect specimen."Thank you for coming in on such short notice, Mr. Hales.""Of course. Though I have to say, being pulled out of class in front of students isn't exactly subtle. People will talk.""People are alr
