CLARA

#Chapter69 CLARA

Twenty years ago…

Detention ended a couple of weeks ago and so did all of my contact with Samuel. We could pass each other in the school and not give each other a single look. We were back to how we had always been with a particular sense of forced detachment. Before, there was a sense of mysteriousness, a strange aura of awe Samuel held for me. Being the Alpha’s son, being my brother’s best friend, and his personality had cast him as this bigger-than-life person that I never thought I could come close to. Seeing him up close was sobering, brought me back to reality, and made me realize that he was just as messed up and sailing through life as clueless as the rest of us. This revelation somehow made me want him more and made me want to cling to my self-respect all the more.
