Chapter 35. Scared

Sofie’s POV

As Nathan and I walked through the crowded hallway to the car, I felt innumerable pairs of eyes fixed on me, with various mumblings of incoherent words trailing after me. I clutched my hands into fists as I willed my legs, which had suddenly become as heavy as lead, to carry me to the car. The nervousness and trepidation sizzling within me at that moment were inexplicable. Momentarily, I turned back as my heart tingled with fear for the umpteenth time since I had walked out of the chancellor’s office that day. God, I just hoped the man didn’t feed Roman lies about me or, worse still, that Roman wasn’t doing anything mortifying to the man. I mean, I knew he totally deserved all the horrible things in life for forcing himself on me, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to live with myself or with the gruesome thought that Roman really did something horrible to him.

Calm down
