“He does have a bleeding heart, doesn’t he? Even if he doesn’t want to admit it.” She checked her nails, as if they weren’t perfect already. “But I suppose you know that, don’t you? Who patched you up last night, hm? Surely not the school nurse.”I glanced down at the white bandages on my hand. My palm still throbbed where I had been cut, but there was no blood seeping through.
