Chapter 73

  There was a simultaneous wave of relief that washed over the high school seniors of Rosecliff when the final bell rang. Just on cue, some were already rushing out of classrooms, having important places to be compared to lingering around the school compounds. Some complained and whined to their friends about how difficult the last paper was, hushed voices comparing answers followed by a chorus of defeated groans could be heard nearby.

  As for Lana, she stared out of the window at her classroom—noting how the sky was darkening and a gloomy atmosphere was slowly creeping up over Rosecliff. She was always fond of the rain, the cosy atmosphere paired with the chilly air—it was the perfect combination to get some well-deserved sleep. Lana let out a sigh when she remembered that word, sleep, something she has been deprived of for a long time now. The stress of the exams as well as the hassles of dealing with her newly found abilities was really weighing on her shoulders.
