I nodded before going to the bed and lying down. The nurse excused herself after that, going into the office that was off to the side to give me more quiet space. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep, but I was just too wound up.
Suddenly, I felt the bed dip behind me. I jumped, turning around and opening my eyes. Kylian was there, sitting at the edge of the bed, staring at me like he knew every little thing about me without having to ask.
"H-hi," I stuttered lamely.
"Hey," he replied. "You gonna tell me what happened?"
"H-how did you even know-"
"Helga was braggin' about what they did to you," he cut me off. "You didn't show up to class. I went lookin'. Overheard Nova asking a teacher if you were okay."
I rolled my eyes.
"Her name is Heidi, not Helga," I muttered.
"I don't care,"
