AND EVERYTHING STOPS when Mrs Hartley, the dorm supervisor, shrieks once and last more in the middle of my another repeating argument with Liam. My voice stops, so does Liam’s, and everyone’s gazes turn to her. Even the air inside and our breathes halts in shock.
My heart is racing fast, forgetting that Mrs Hartley is here with us when I say those curse words in my argument. I am embarrassed and nervous. What will happen to me next?
I look away at her and run my eyes to Gabriel and Dylan, who are at the end corner of the sofa, of course, sitting beside each other, and, again, with one phone in Gabriel’s hand, but, now, is paying attention to us. They stare at me back nervously, which I return to Mrs Hartley in quick. Everyone’s eyes are still on Liam’s mother.
