Clementine:
I anxiously paced around the large hall, waiting for the ringleaders to arrive and tell us about the blast that had happened an hour ago.
It had been a full hour since we were told to stay inside and not leave.
Lurkers were everywhere, making sure none of us stepped out while the ringleaders continued their investigation.
And while all that was happening, I couldn't stop worrying about what we might find out.
At the same time, new worries had surfaced because of Ian and Oriana.
Oriana was sitting between my mates, cracking jokes, while Oriana's new boyfriend, whom I thought she'd finally go official with, paced around the corners of the hall.
He kept close to the wall, hands shoved in his pockets, his head lowered.
"Come on, Clementine, sit with us," Oriana called out, watching me take another round around the hall.
"No, I can't sit right now. I'm too anxious," I replied without turning toward them.
