Chapter 9: Mind Games
Ava stood there staring at the empty doorway, feeling stupid. She had thought her speech would at least get some kind of reaction out of him. Maybe make him realize he was being an idiot. Instead he had just walked away like she wasn't even worth arguing with.
"Well shit," she muttered.
"Is he really gone?" asked the blonde girl.
"Looks like it," she said, still staring at the door.
Jax managed to get Diana to sit up. She was groggy and kept blinking like she was trying to figure out where she was.
"What happened?" she asked, touching the side of her head where a bruise was forming.
"We got our asses kicked," Jax said. "Then some guy showed up and saved us. Then he left."
"Some guy?"
"Yeah, I don't know who he was. Skinny kid, looked like he could bench press a car."
Ava walked over to them. "His name is Nox. He goes to our school."
"Never heard of him," Diana said.
