~SCARLETT~
Today marked the first day back at the Academy after our break, and I was a bundle of nerves. I dreaded how I would react upon seeing Carter again. I was terrified of my own feelings; part of me wanted to throw myself into his arms and confess how much I had missed him, while another part wanted to punch him in the chest and demand to know why he hadn’t fought for me, not even once.
I needed to find the strength to push these emotions aside. I was the one that asked him to stay away. I was the one who wanted this to happen.
Why was I here complaining to myself when he was doing exactly what I asked?
“Something’s bothering you,” Clara suddenly says.
“What? I’m sorry, what did you say?” I reply, my mind elsewhere. Just then, Jenna joined us, wrapping us both in a tight hug.
