Chapter 57

  Avery was leaning against the metal gates of the school as she scrolled through her phone mindlessly. A pleasant scent then surrounded her senses and she couldn’t help but smile. She pocketed her phone swiftly and turned to face the girl who walked towards her hesitantly.

  “Why are you smiling like that?” Lana asked, clearly finding every movement of Avery’s to be suspicious.

  “I’m just surprised that you showed up.” She replied, her smile not showing signs of fading.

  Lana frowned, recalling how she said the same thing earlier when she met up with her. “Are you seriously messing with me?”

  Avery’s expression instantly changed into a shocked look as she let out a soft gasp. “I would never dare! I’m just intrigued, that’s all.” She said as she walked closer to Lana. She looked down at the girl, somehow happy that she dressed for the occasion. She wore a dark t-shirt and dark pants paired with hiking boots. Her eyes then lingered around her arm where it was bandaged.
