Chapter 32: Never Without You

I tucked the card into a pocket on my backpack and headed to the cafeteria. In my haste this morning I had skipped breakfast. Inside, I grabbed a protein shake from the vending machine and drank it down in mere seconds.

Through the cafeteria windows, Kento and Reed were talking on the lawn a few feet away. I tossed the empty shake bottle into the trashcan, then dashed outside to join them.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked. "Did you find the guy that was following me?"

Kento inclined his head. "I tracked him to see what he was up to. He seems shady, but I can't say that he's evil."

I glanced between him and Reed. "You're kidding, right?"

"He said he was out for a walk, like you." Reed shrugged.
