I unhooked my backpack off my chair and strolled to the Tarot class when I didn't find Reed or Jasper waiting for me outside history. Fear trickled down my throat, but I pushed aside the feeling. They didn't need to escort me everywhere. I was totally capable of walking to class with the rest of the students. Except, I did miss their company. What if they figured I wasn't worth the trouble? Can't say that I blamed them - I wouldn't want to hang out with anyone dark mages had targeted if I could help it.
Stop! God, I needed to get a grip on my emotions. Everything was fine. I needed to get my mind off worrying like Reed said and focus on school.
