OLIVIA'S POV
While I was sitting in my room, reading the horror novel I had collected from the library, my mind wandered and I couldn't focus on the reading.
I remembered the people's murmurs from before and it crossed my mind over and over again which made me unable to focus. I kept rethinking the words I could've said and the perfect badass response I could've come up with but sadly, it was too late for that.
I heard a knock on the door which snapped me out of my thoughts. "Come in!" I said after I'd positioned myself properly on the bed.
The door opened revealing Vanessa. I immediately let out the breath I was holding and gestured to Vanessa to move closer to me.
She was holding a bowl containing strawberries. She smiled at me softly and walked toward my bed.
"I brought you some strawberries."
