ANASTASIA'S POV
Morning came early and I wasn't prepared for it, I wasn't ready to face Zain or Jed or answer the numerous questions I was sure mum would ask about why I had disappeared after dinner.
"Ugh," I groaned, pulling the sheets over my head and hoping I could stay there all day. Different thoughts crossed my mind, I could call in sick and avoid school, avoid going downstairs but then it would be all too convenient and I didn't want Zain thinking I was scared. I also didn't want Jed noticing anything strange again, especially as I wasn't sure if he had put the pieces together.
I laid there still, contemplating my next line of action as I watched the clock tick slowly, Jed would be so mad if I made him late today but I couldn't care less, I was done catering to his feelings.
