Professor Lucien
None of us really understood what the big deal about Professor Lucien was—until two days ago, when every news channel decided to exaggerate the story, each headline worse than the last.
"This will probably blow over soon," Elijah says casually, "it always does. But what about you? You never denied having feelings for the Professor."
My gaze fixes on the movie playing in front of us, though the characters blur and make no sense. I’ve given myself a hundred reasons to hate Professor Lucien, but none of them are ever enough. He lied—said his wife was dead, when in truth she’s alive. Still, my mind keeps buzzing with one dangerous thought: what if he had a reason?
