Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One
Sophie's POV
The next day started the same way.
Driver dropped me off. I walked through the halls alone. Sat in my classes. Avoided eye contact with everyone.
But something was different.
Charlotte and Cameron were there. In the hallways. At lunch. Always watching. Always aware of where I was.
It was weird. Unsettling. I wasn't used to people paying attention to me unless they were talking shit.
By third period, I'd gotten three texts from Charlotte.
Why are you sitting alone at lunch? Come sit with us.
I ignored them. Kept my head down. Did my usual routine.
But when lunch came, Charlotte wasn't taking no for an answer.
She walked right up to my corner table. Cameron behind her. Both of them looking like they owned the place.
"You're sitting with us," Charlotte said.
"I'm fine here."
"That wasn't a question." She grabbed my tray. Started walking toward the center tables where all the popular kids sat.
"Charlotte. Stop."
