Chapter 79. The Game

Aurora’s POV

I froze, the world around me coming to a sudden halt as the words registered in my mind.

Dead? Did they really think…I was dead?

Caroline must have heard it too, because just like with Caleb before, I heard her let out a low growl, her lips pulled back over her teeth as her eyes began to glow an eerie amber.

“Caroline.” I immediately took her hand in mine, squeezing them for reassurance. “It’s not worth it.”

But apparently, the girl who had just spewed those malicious words, wasn’t alone.

“I know right!” Another voice chimed in, sounding exasperated. “I mean…she left already, for god’s sake! So why come back?”

“She gets scholarship from our school fees anyway! What a waste of space!”

I was tempted to turn back and give this bitch a piece of my mind, but I held my tongue. It really wasn’t my problem that ‘they’ had a problem with me. And besides, it’s not like they would say anything new that I hadn’t already heard.<
