Chapter 315
KESTER.
Every noise in the class faded.
I didn’t hear the laughter.
I didn’t hear the chairs creaking.
I didn’t hear my own heartbeat.
Just that one sentence. Echoing over and over and over in
my skull.
My fist crushed the pencil in my hand, and I snapped it in two like was a twig.

I heard someone call my name. Maybe. I couldn’t tell. I didn’t care.
Troy was grinning like he’d won something.
He didn’t even get the chance to blink before I grabbed him by the collar and slammed his face into the desk.

His blood splashed on my sleeves, on my knuckles, on my face. His lends tried to pull me off him, but I swung an elbow and heard one of them yelp. They backed way.
“Kester! STOP!” Miss Lorelle shouted, rushing into the class. She grabbed my arms, but I didn’t stop. Something was buzzing in my body. I didn’t even feel like me anymore. It was like
Troy’s face was a mess. It was red and swollen. He was choking on hown blood. I think 1 knocked out a tooth, but I didn’t care. I wasn’t even there anymore. I was somewhere else. I was back at home. I was watching my mum cry again. Watching my dad slam the door. Watching myself crash into the closet like a scared little chicken.
Maybe that scared little chicken, was dead.
Three older students stormed in. They already had their wolves. So, they were supposedly strong. Two of them held me by both arms Tike I was some wild animal.
