Carlota’s POV
The last bell rang, and everyone rushed out of the school building like they had somewhere more important to be. I moved slowly, hoping no one would call my name. My head already felt heavy from the whole day, and I just wanted to disappear for a few minutes.
“Carlota.”
Paxton’s voice came from behind me.
I froze on my spot. Please, not now. I didn’t even turn before he grabbed my wrist and pulled me with him. He didn’t drag me painfully, but he didn’t give me a choice either. His hand was warm and strong, and I hated how weak that made me feel.
“Paxton, wait—”
“No.” His voice didn’t rise, but it shut me up immediately.
He pushed open the door of an empty classroom and pulled me in, shutting the door again behind us. The room was quiet and there was no one around us.
