Eve POV:
The walk to the principal's office felt like a nightmare come to life.
Every step I took was heavy, my heart sinking further into my stomach with every passing second. I was surrounded by Marcus and Drake, each of them acting like their usual, insufferable selves, their attention locked on me like I was their possession. Their disagreement had only escalated, and now we were here, in front of Xavier.
The whole situation felt surreal, like I was being dragged into something I had no control over, and no matter how much I wanted to back out, it was too late.
The walls of the school seemed to close in on me as I walked down the hall. I couldn't help but think of the mess I was in. How had I gone from just trying to get through a normal school day to being dragged into the principal's office like this? And worse, why the hell was I the one being punished for all this?
