Chapter 363 : New Friends and Old Fears

*Olivia*

I glanced around the bustling cafeteria as Dahlia told me about a gelato date with her latest guy. Our bodyguards stood against the wall behind us, alert but not interrupting the steady stream of students.

I took a deep breath and another bite of the grilled cheese I’d taken to ordering here. Sure, it was kinda plain, but the Italian cheese and bread worked wonders for the American classic.

It felt like a little piece of home.

Dahlia waved her hands in my face. “Hellooo, Earth to Olive. Did you even hear what I said about the spoon thing?”

I blinked. “Sorry, Dolly. Got lost in my head. Tell me about the spoon thing again.”

She put her hand on mine, genuine concern shining in her eyes. “Still scary to be at school?”

I looked at the bodyguards again. Nothing had happened here since the note, so it seemed like they were doing their job.

I shrugged. “Actually, no. It’s starting to feel safer here since nothing has happened in so long. I was just thinking, that’s all.”
