Chapter 12...LinaBy the time I shut my door, I was questioning every life decision that had led me to this exact moment…which apparently, was leaning against the door like I had just escaped from a horror movie. Except the “horror” was a six-foot-something male who could probably crush a watermelon with his bare hands… and maybe my self-control along with it.I tossed my bag onto the chair and kicked off my shoes. The bed looked more inviting than usual, but I didn’t want to fall asleep just yet. Instead, I sat there, scrolling on my phone, pretending I wasn’t thinking about him.It was useless.Every time I closed my eyes, I could see his face, hear his voice. I didn’t even know why. It wasn’t like we’d shared some deep conversation, but something about him felt like it tugged at me, even when I tried to ignore it.I rolled over and stared at the ceiling, trying to talk myself out of it.“Not doing this,” I muttered to the ceiling. “I’m not gonna start reading into every word a

Chapter 14...LinaI slammed the door shut, walking toward my bed with my left hand pressed against my stomach. A dull ache pulsed through me, sharpening with every step. I was supposed to stop at the infirmary, but somehow, I ended up here instead. Stupid. I collapsed onto the mattress, curling into myself. The pain wasn’t unbearable…just persistent, gnawing at me like guilt, or whatever this feeling was that had been twisting inside me after I had finished eating.Okayy that was it.I pushed to my feet, testing if walking made things worse. It didn’t. The pain stayed steady, tolerable, like a clingy child refusing to let go but no longer screaming about it. Fine. I could work with that.I pulled on my jacket, muttering, “Fresh air solves everything,” even though I knew damn well it solved nothing. Still, it was better than wallowing in here.The late afternoon breeze greeted me when I stepped outside. Crisp, cool, carrying the faint sounds of shouting and movement from the tr

Chapter 16...Kaiza I stared at Miss Nilly for a few minutes before returning my gaze to Azrael. He glanced at me for a second before turning away with his hands crossed. We all turned to leave when she called out. “Lina? Please stay behind.” I arched my brows intensively. When I got the text from her earlier, I knew she was up to no good, and when the five of us only showed up, it just further confirmed my suspicions. I shoved my hands into the pocket and debated if I should wait for her outside the office or just head back with the boys.I eventually went back with the boys.I kept on wondering what she had to say to Lina. Her reaction when she saw Lina walk in with us was astonishing. Like she wasn't expecting her to come back without a scratch. What the hell was even that scream in garden earlier? “I was on a thin line on going deaf.” Darien said.He legit took the words out of my mouth. “I heard that flower only opens to certain people. And i was told that several studen

Chapter 18...Lina The final chime of clock hung in the air. inside the ballroom, a wave of laughter and excited murmurs erupted, the sound swelling into a joyful roar as everyone reached up to remove their masks.For me, it happened in slow motion. My fingers felt extremely numb and clumsy, like they weren't even my own. I felt like removing this mask was taking off the last shred of protection I had left. The cool air hit my bare face just as I took it off, and I felt terrifyingly exposed.My eyes went back across the room through the glass doors, and to them. I watched as they all took off their masks, one by one.Kaiza’s mask dropped into his hand. There was no trace of the guy who had joked with me over chips yesterday, and no hint of his easy grin. His expression was closed-off, coldly perfect. This was my first time seeing him that way. His eyes scanned the room and then met mine for a split second before flicking away, as if he’d seen something distasteful stuck to the bo

Chapter 20...AzraelThe first thing I felt was a deep ache in my body and then the cold air that had hit my face. I looked around me, and all I saw was broken glass. My corner was destroyed, the window was shattered and my desk was split in two with deep cracks running through the wall. My knuckles were bruised but I didn't remember doing it.I sat up and the blankets fell away. My head was pounding and the nightmare was still there clinging to me darker than ever it was. She was there too. Lina standing in the middle of it all with those big grey eyes just watching me like a ghost from a past I tried to bury. It made me so angry I wanted to break something else.The door creaked open and Blake was standing there, his face like stone. He didn't look surprised, he just looked at the wreckage and then at my bloody hands.“You almost took my head off,” he said, his voice completely flat like he was stating a simple fact. “I came to your corner when I heard the noise. You threw a piec
