Chapter 18

"So what made you come here?"

Well that question took me by surprise. I blinked a few times before I answered, "My dad got a job offer here recently, so we both moved to Black Forest." It was nothing but the truth, the simple version I guess.

He nodded. "So do you like it here so far?"

I shrugged. I don't know, did I? I wasn't exactly welcomed here like if I was coming home to a family reunion or something, so I'm not really sure. I'm already used to the lack of attention from the students around me, so coming here wasn't at all a surprise. "I guess," I said flatly.

His lips formed into a thin line as his eyebrows pulled together. "Why not?"

His voice seemed a little bit forced, but I wasn't moved by it, much to my surprise. "I don't know."

"There must be a reason," he said, his voice now with a hint of impatience as he took a step closer to me. My body immediately reacted to it with a small step back.
