-Glyndon Walton: ( Song of the chapter: Heaven and Back by Chase Atlantic)
The sound of the shower shutting off echoed through the quiet room.
I grabbed a towel, wrapping it around myself as I wiped the condensation off the mirror. My mind still spun with the weirdness of today—Alex acting strange, Kathrine's smug smirk, the way everyone had stared when Alex just gave up.
Nothing made sense.
I ran a hand through my damp hair, exhaling. Then I noticed something odd.
My door.
It wasn't how I left it.
A small shift, just barely open.
I knew for a fact I closed it before I got in the shower.
A flicker of unease curled in my stomach.
I pushed the door open slowly, stepping into the dim light of my bedroom. My gaze moved across the room, scanning every corner—
Until it landed on my bed.
And the person sleeping in it.
I nearly screamed.
There was a lump under my blankets, someone lying there like they owned the place.
Then I spotted the familiar boots on my floor.
