Lumen. I wait outside Alexa’s house. Ciara has not been attending school and I found out that if she’s not here, it’s got to be at Princess or Alexa’s. After I met Princess, she told me where Ciara could be. The door opens and I face the entrance to see Ciara, there is nothing but a hard glare on her face. I have to tell her what I know about Lilas, who knows she may have some compassion for me despite my mistakes. “Hi, Ciara.“ I say and she is quiet. “I never got a chance to speak to you after everything.” I say, resting a hand on my chest and looking at her. Her eyes are so cold. I have never seen her act this way before. She looks just like Salvatore. “I don’t ever want to see you again.” She says, her voice is like thin ice and I know better than to cross it. She turns back to walk
