CHAPTER 28

  Lucien:

  I was leaving, but then she grabbed my wrist, pulling me back. Usually, I wouldn't fall back, but if this meant she would leave me alone, then I'd suffer.

  "What?"

  "Give me another chance!" She burst out.

  I blinked, unsure if I had heard her correctly or not. "What?"

  "Give me another chance! Let me prove myself better than Raleigh!" She exclaimed, her grip on my wrist tightening.

  I scoffed, removing her hand and wriggling my now free wrist. "Does no, suit you fine? And don't ask why. I just told you." I said.

  I didn't wait for her reply. I ran over to Raleigh and the others. She turned and smiled up at me as I neared them, beckoning me closer. Greg and Jasmine were arguing about a new change in Rahway’s education policies—whichever one it was, I wasn’t too sure.

  "What's up?" I asked.

  "Nothing much. Since you have to do a one-over on the pack, you want me to watch Raleigh—erm—keep her company?" Jasmine asked.
