"Sheldon…" Miss Connors frowned as she stepped forward "Is there so I should know about?"

"No!" I was tired of all the emotional support and crap It had been a year since I killed the pervert who stalked , one I was fine People needed to let it go

Miss Connors looked at Grace "Is there so I need to know?"

I interjected, "This is class, not Sheldon's personal crisis trauma team And I'm fine I'm pissed off because you made me talk in class, but otherwise, I'm fine And don't talk to Grace She doesn't have her head screwed on right now She's got it bad for Corrigan, and he's unavailable, so she likes to turn her attention to me instead"

Grace gasped and pushed up frolared once more at me, and swept out of the classroom Once the door slammed shut behind her, I sat back and waited for the shocked lull in the class to end And one second later, it did as people eagerly turned to their table partners

I had just outed Grace…because that's the type of friend I am

Miss Connors sighed, looked at the clock, and then called out, "Okay, guys You can go"

I stood up

"Not you, Sheldon"

I sat down

When the last student left, Miss Connors crossed the roo eyes in place, I snorted, "That's who I am I'm not very nice at times"

"No, you're not," Miss Connors agreed with me "But you're normally pleasant, especially with Grace What's the deal?"

I grinned at her words "What's the deal? Are you still trying to talk to e?"

"Sheldon," she exclaiht hurt Grace before I have known you since high school and counseled you for one of those years The last time you were a cold bitch to so stalked, and two of your friends were killed So I' on that I should know?"

Well, when you put it like that…

I sighed, "No I'ize to her later"

Miss Connors gaveto her desk "I think you should leave her alone, but that's my personal opinion"

I should, but the truth was that Grace had becoan I sort of needed her, though I'd never tell her that

"I heard that Bryce is co back to town" Miss Connors watched me with hawk-like eyes

I paused "Yeah?"

"I know that the two of you weren't doing so hen you s now?"

Hell No I rearedback, so no questions about Bryce, especially Bryce"

"What about Corrigan? Can I ask about him?"

"Hih the door

Miss Connors yelled as it shut behind me, "Can I ask if they're even alive? Is that okay? Or maybe you—are you alive?"

I suppressed a shudder and veered for the door in joy Maybe not joy, but I was anxious for h I breathed in the fresh air and heard, "Sheldon! Yo Stop"

And the fresh air was ruined

Michael Reveritt jogged towards lide over his muscles with those Labrador chocolate eyes and plush lips that always seeirls I knew he did more than that too

"What do you want, Ritt?"
