Chapter 12

LYLA

The party began to simmer down aside from the students that decided to play hide and seek.

I let a handful of minutes pass before I decided to call it a night. However, luck was not on my side.

A guy across the fire with curly blonde hair spotted me. He strode toward me puffing his chest out to exaggerate his build. I was immediately put off by his overwhelming confidence.

"I'm Rex." The boy said flashing his teeth.

I internally shuddered with disgust.

"Lyla." I stated.

She looked everywhere except for at him. I thought if I avoided eye contact he would get the hint and leave.

But of course, he didn't. He only seemed more determined to earn my attention.

"Can I get you a drink?" He batted his lashes.

"No thanks. I was just leaving."

A hand clasped around my wrist as I attempted to walk away. The exertion was so powerful it yanked me backward, all but knocking me off of my feet.
