"Fine," I lied, the back of my neck flushed with heat. "How was your first night in your new room?" she asked, trying to sound all positive and upbeat. "Hi, Reed," Constance whispered as she slid into the pew in front of mine. Instead, I took the one two rows back and tried to hold my head high. I was soon bustled right down the center aisle to the junior section, where I was about to sit in my usual pew - until I realized it was a Billings pew. When I heard that one, my head whipped around, but I couldn't tell who had said it. ![]() ![]() "Are they going to interrogate everyone? I didn't even know the girl." ![]() ".police are taking over Dean Marcus's old office." And if they hadn't, the two uniformed cops stationed near the doors of the chapel certainly set an eerie tone. Apparently everyone had heard about the murder investigation at breakfast. The vibe in the air was hushed, paranoid. I finally headed out in time to make it to morning services at the Âchapel, where I sneaked in at the back of the crowd. All I could do was hope that she would have an unguarded moment and read the message, and that my words might start to melt the ice wall she had put up between us. I skipped breakfast, spending the hour calming my nerves, adding to my list of evidence against Ivy, and sending Noelle an e-mail apologizing once again for what I had done. ![]()
