The Silent Girl and the StarKendra I keep my head down as Professor West hands back our papers. The familiar knot in my stomach tightens when I see the red ink covering most of my classmates' work. Mine comes back clean, with just one comment written in his neat handwriting across the top: "Exceptional work, Miss Hayes. See me after class."My heart sinks."As you can see, most of you failed to grasp the basic concepts we've been discussing," Professor West announces to the lecture hall.

Instead, there's a note taped to my locker: Dean's office. Now. - AMy stomach drops. This can't be good.The administrative building feels like a tomb as I walk down the hallway. Through the glass windows of the dean's office, I can see Axel sitting in a chair across from Dean Morrison. His knuckles are bruised."Ah, Miss Hayes," Dean Morrison says when I knock. "Please, come in."Professor West is sitting in the corner, looking perfectly composed. He gives me a small smile that makes my skin crawl."Sit down, Miss Hayes," the dean continues.
