AFTER the class, some of Astrid's classmates came up to him, giving consolation to what happened yesterday.
"Are you alright, Astrid? We heard what happened. How could Jesse do that?" one said.
"It's the height of evil I tell you. It's a good thing he's already expelled," another one added before turning to him. "But are you sure you're alright?"
Astrid smiled. "Yes, thank you for asking."
"Did those men try to do anything to you? I mean, I heard you've been there with them for quite some time."
Astrid turned to the one who spoke. It was a girl. Although she looked like she was worried about him, he could still hear the underlying malice in her voice. It's like she was trapping him into saying that something indeed happened with him and those four bastards.
He smiled and was about to turn things around when Snow, who was sitting beside him, suddenly stood up.
