#Chapter54

Promptly, I notice the looks from fellow students. Then, after walking further into the school, the emptiness in my core that I had gotten used to these past three days seems to fill. More bricks are added to the load weighing on my chest, and some to my feet. I stop halfway down the hall and cling to the lockers, leaning against them as I contemplate missing another day of school. The feeling intensifies, so I start walking the opposite way, back down the hall and out the side doors. I walk through the tennis courts and around to the parking lot which eventually takes me to the main entrance. I hesitantly climb the steps and enter the school once more. The feeling has cooled down a bit, and Vivianne or Imogen are nowhere in sight, so I try again to make it to my classroom.
