Chapter 20: Bikers
+ Kathrine Andrews: (Song of the Chapter: Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys)
Thursday at school went by pretty fast, probably because I was so focused on keeping my distance.
I made sure to keep to my side of the hallways, avoiding any chance of crossing paths with her.
And I did it. I didn’t see her once, not even in passing.
Honestly, I think she’s doing the same thing. Every time I glanced around, I could almost feel her presence hovering just out of sight, but she never showed up.
It’s like she’s actively trying to stay out of my way.
And when we did accidentally make eye contact—well, I swear I saw her freeze, like she was caught in the headlights of a car.
It’s almost like she’s stumbling through the whole thing, tripping over her own feet just to get away.
I can tell she’s scared, terrified even. She knows what I could do if I really wanted to.
It’s not like I haven’t made myself clear—those three words, Glynson is gay, could be enough to wreck everything.
She’s scared of me because she knows that if I really pushed, I could destroy her life. I know it. She knows it.
