Semua Bab Surviving My Three Alpha Bullies : Bab 71 - Bab 80

EVIE POV I dropped into the seat opposite from Jordan. He briefly looked up, then returned his attention to his phone. I looked around to make sure we were the only one under the shade, before switching and sitting beside him. “Are you feeling okay?” I inquired, bringing my hand to his hair, playing with a few strands. It’s one of the things I do that seems to help me calm down. He opens up like a pretzel whoever I play with his hair. However, this time he lifted his head, removing my hand from his hair. Hurt by his rejection, I dropped my hands on my lap, deciding to just sit with him until he was ready to talk. After the whole confrontation with Logan yesterday, Kaden has been trying to get them to talk. The state of the flat was gloomy, not only was I worried about my brother and his whole project stuff. Kaden and I aren't speaking on terms, he gave me what I wanted. Jordan and Logan aren't speaking too—obviously. “Did Kaden send you?” He blurted out, looking annoyed by the p

EVIE POV I paused walking as a message came through my phone. Having an idea who it is, I looked at the address Ethan sent and sighs, before shoving my device back into my pocket. The next cause of action is having an excuse good enough to gain me the permission slip to leave the premises. Fortunately, there was no whispered conversation as Jordan and I stepped into the cafeteria. Almost everyone has moved on from the video, off to talking about the next big thing on campus— except students we shared a form building with. They still haven’t stopped talking, it’s like each time they see one of us, they are reminded of what's going on. I followed Jordan behind to get my lunch as well, we found a spot near the windows and settled down. I was about to take the first food bite when Logan and Kaden strolled into the cafeteria together. It’s like the air thickens around me as I try not to look at them. “Could you help me sneak out of school tonight? I need to meet my brother. If I can’t

EVIE POV Jordan rolled off me, and I stood up adjusting my rumbled shirt. I ignored the look he was giving me as I looked past him, half expecting Atlas to appear behind him or something. Jordan stood up also, retracing his steps back to the party without saying a word. I rolled my eyes, falling back against the chair at the look he was giving me. After our conversation, I’ll decide if he’s in the position to judge me or not, for now I choose not to comment on it. “Do you want to sit down while we talk about this or do you want to remain standing?” I inquired, breaking icy tension in the air. “Was this part of your plan? Skipping school and making out with one of the alphas at a frat party?” He shook his head, taking a seat next to me. “What’s happening in that school Ethan?” I demanded, folding my arms across my chest.“As you may have been able to tell, the Academy isn’t just like any university or a private one. It’s mostly a research school for smart people. I knew that, Mom

EVIE POV Kaden knows something, I could feel it in my gut. But why he’s choosing not to say a word to the others is something that’s bothering more than I care to admit. I spent last night working with Logon on Maggie’s case. As much as I try to deny it—which I’m not, because the first step of getting help is acknowledging that you need help. Now that Logan and Jordan are back on talking terms, interacting with one of them when both are present is eating me alive. Especially knowing I had a role to play. If I’m being completely honest, it’s more than that. Today, Jordan had a fighting match and he invited me along. Which raises some questions I plan to ask him later. I know why Logan is at the school having found out he’s studying a similar course as mine—Ethan. I still don’t know what the others do, sometimes I feel like I know them, other times I’m reminded there’s so much more about them I don’t know yet. I walked in after Logan, refusing to look at the mental door longer th

EVIE POV I gave up tossing around when it became clear that sleep wasn’t coming any time soon. Dragging myself off the bed, I glanced in the direction of my window, hearing the wind hit the glass. I was beyond exhausted, my thoughts consumed not only my mind but my body as well. Jordan was right, and I couldn’t stand the fact that any of them were fact. I’m determined to prove them wrong, one way or the other. Changing out of the tee shirt I was wearing, I put on a hoodie, grab my sneakers on my way out. Doing the one activity that usually clears my head, I jogged out of the building. At this hour, the campus appears to be dead, the only few people you can glimpse are the janitors, professors and students who have early morning class. Usually the nerds. I continue jogging down the building lane, my body reminding me it’s been some time since I partake. Pausing to catch my breath, something—more like someone familiar caught my attention. Kaden. He isn’t alone, some other guy who I
