“NO. Have there been any changes in your sleeping patterns? NO. I haven’t slept since Miller died. Has anyone close to you ever committed suicide? I fill in NO. I stare at the darkened oval, willing it to be true. Wishing that I could ever just fill in the goddamn NO! I blink back the tears that are starting, and I erase the mark, making sure no traces of it exist. And then, with coldness in my soul, I fill in YES. After an hour of intensive therapy to deal with my “loss,” I find James at my loc...ker and walk him to his classroom, making sure he can pass for normal—at least for fifty minutes. When I get to economics, the first person I see is the handler, the dark-haired one who’s always watching me. Next to mine, Miller’s desk is empty, and a deep hollow feeling opens in my chest. But in the corner, watching me with a soft smile on his lips—as if he’s been waiting for me—is the handler. My heart races as I sit, not looking back at him again. I wonder if I’m about to get flagged.MoreLessRead More Read Less
