        I watched Carter leave, a bittersweet feeling deep inside of me. I was happy to have seen him, and happy to be continuing school, but I felt so bad for him right now. I wanted to help him somehow. Maybe I could figure something out. Eventually.

        Right now, however, I was just still so happy about what Carter had told me. I was excited for my exams, and glad that I had kept up on my assignments, thanks to all my friends. I wanted to thank Reece. I needed to tell him how happy this made me. And I had never thanked him for saving me last time either.

        Just then I caught his scent. I didn't know if he was leaving or going back to his room. I had to hurry. I ran down the hall as fast as I could and was at the top of the stairs and the connecting hallway before I knew it. I saw him, walking toward his room, his tall broad back facing me and growing smaller the farther he went down the hall.
