POTENTIAL: TWENTY-FOUR

ALEX POV

While waiting for the Professor., everyone was talking nonstop about the sudden death of five of our classmates. The room was filled with this mournful ambiance, making the air heavy. I feel like I'd rather not breathe in here.

I looked at Quinn, and it was evident that she was also deeply saddened. The five escorted her home yesterday, and this was what happened—her first day here seemed to be cursed. I hope she was okay.

While others were busy talking and crying, the three of us were the opposite. Instead of mourning, our awkwardness prevailed after what happened this morning. Because of that, Maica would suddenly blush every time she thought about what she saw.

Sky and I also explained to her how he ended up in my room, which was very embarrassing. She couldn't even eat breakfast this morning when I told her that something happened between Sky and me last night. So, until now, she's been acting like that. I hope she won't do it in class.
