The cafeteria was buzzing. Everywhere I turned, people were whispering.
They weren't even trying to hide it.
I could feel the stares, the curiosity, the fear. They weren't whispering about me, though.
No, I was just the girl caught in the middle of it. The girl whose boyfriend- ex-boyfriend nearly electrocuted someone to death.
My fingers tightened around my fork, stabbing at my food, though I wasn't really eating. My stomach felt knotted, and my appetite was nonexistent.
But I needed something to do, something to ground me. Because my thoughts kept slipping back to last night. To the sound of Ronan's lightning splitting the air. To how he broke my heart right after.
My mind slipped back to the way Marco had hit the ground, his body convulsing, smoking. To the way, Ronan's eyes had gone completely blank.
I swallowed hard.
And then there was Orion.
