Chapter 11: The Jewelry Plan
>>Corvina
"Eyes down," I ordered when Tracy came to my room to give me my lunch, "Don't even think about glaring at me." I had a book in my hands that I was reading as I sat by the window to get some sunlight. I had shut her down the moment she started glaring at me.
She lowered her eyes as she placed the food tray down on the table in front of me.
"Do you need anything else?" She pursed her lips after asking. Must be hurting her pride that she actually has to do her job.
"No, you may leave," I put the book down, "You can come after an hour and take the tray."
"Yes," She turned around and left. But not before she turned and glared at Hael who stood by the door. She whispered something to him but I couldn't hear what she said since the door was on the other end of the room.
Hael stood unfazed which seemed to make Tracy's mood turn foul. She didn't do anything there, she glanced at me and saw me looking at them, so she just left.
I moved my face away the moment she closed the door behind her and started eating. I've been ignoring Hael since 'that' night but he has been pretty persistent. He still comes to my room and does the small tasks he used to in the past but he's been staring at me awfully a lot.
I put the food in my mouth trying to ignore it but the intensity of his gaze was something that one couldn't easily ignore. Why? Is he curious that I didn't punish him but punished Tracy instead?
I chewed my food slowly and looked out the window.
Well, that is understandable.
