Chapter 40: Reunion

Night’s P.O.V

“Goodness, he is alive!” Was the first thing my friends told me as they all but pounced on top of me as soon as I stepped out of the car in front of my faculty.

“Ow! Guys! That hurts!” I tried to warn them as their weight became too unbearable, but it was already too late and the three of us went tumbling to the ground all together.

But even as my back hurt and I think I may have scraped my palm…the laughter echoing all around me instantly made me feel more welcome and at peace than I had felt in the entirety of last week.

“Look at you fools,” Tanya shook her head, her brunette locks flying in the wind as she looked down at Landon, Trey and I still lying on the ground. “Get up before someone sweeps you off like trash!”

“We’re up! We’re up!” Trey called out as he scrambled to his feet and then offered us a hand so we could get off the floor as well.
