Eighty eight

Alyn's Point of View

It's time to go home. I went straight to Maxine's classroom to fetch her. I'm scared that she won't go home again so I hurried to her classroom. Thank God, they just ended their class. I hid in the corridor and waited for Max to go out of the classroom. If I immediately show my face to her, she might not go out. Damn, it feels like she's afraid of me. Like I was kind of a monster that she didn't want to cross paths with. Sigh, I'm afraid of losing her. I'll explain everything to her when she finally wants to listen to me.

Her classmates started to walk out of the classroom. I'm staring at them one by one, to see if Maxine was one of them. When I saw the woman who was Max earlier walking out, I looked at her back but Max wasn't there. My heart is pounding with nervousness.
