CHAPTER 53
~Spring's POV~
A loud voice snapped through the corridor. "Rael!"
He froze.
The voice called again. "Rael!"
Slowly, he turned to see a tall boy jogging up to him, concern etched on his face.
But just as he was about to respond, something else caught his attention. From the corner of his eye, he saw a girl at her locker, holding a small box.
She had frozen at the sound of his name. Her hand trembled slightly before she caught the box that had slipped through her fingers, straightened up, and rushed off without looking back.
Before he could focus on her, the boy clapped a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey man, what's up? I've been looking for you everywhere."
Rael blinked, then glanced back toward the hallway where the girl had disappeared. But she was already gone.
"I…"
"Tsk, you look like a mess. Come on."
