Chapter 19

“I can see that. You should probably go and changed.”

Mathew gestured down at my feet, and I remembered the awkwardness of shoving my foot into the water bucket.

As if my life wasn’t bad enough right now. I was steadily making myself look like even more of an idiot.

The party wasn’t at all what I’d expected. Mathew’s truck carried us out of London and back down the dirt roads that led toward the Winterwood Academy. My heart was pounding with every mile closer we became.

“Where are we going?” I asked, my voice much smaller than I’d meant for it to be. I wasn’t even sure he could hear me over the rock music blaring from the radio.

“Don’t worry. We’re staying away from the school.” Mathew promised as he turned the car off the main road and the terrain became much more bumpy.

I only met this guy yesterday. I thought. I really shouldn’t be letting him take me to Goddess knows where.
