Nightshade
My breathing came in short gasps and the tears I'd been holding back for long burned beneath my eyelids, demanding I release them.
Not here. Not now. I need to make it to the bathroom.
The ladies bathroom was at the far end of the hall. It felt like miles. I pushed myself off the wall and forced my legs to move, one step at a time and the chocolate leaving a trail behind.
Someone rounded the corner. I froze.
Kade Sterling. The Gamma's son, senior, and a part of the inner circle that included Damien, Eleora, and Zane. He was tall, quite lean, with light brown hair and hazel eyes that I noticed always looked uncomfortable when the bullying got violent.
