If there was an award for spacing out, I would’ve earned first place after the day I’d had. I never used to have trouble paying attention in class; that was always Dahlia or Tallon. I was a model student in high school.
But now….
I stared at each of my teachers blankly as they rattled on what seemed like complete nonsense. I knew what they were saying made perfect sense, but I could swear it was gibberish. Even the blackboard was filled with mashed-up symbols that vaguely resembled letters if you turned your head to the right and squinted.
Dahlia kept shooting me worried glances as I stared at the board, not having written down a single note despite how studious I’d always been about that. The page in my new notebook was completely blank.
There were more than just Dahlia’s eyes on me, though. Several of the students around us kept glancing behind them to see the hulking figures of our two bodyguards as they lined the back wall.
