Kalilah POV

Being back here was not what I wanted.

I hated being here. It pissed me off but I had to heal.

No one liked me being here. They looked at me as if I were dirt on the bottom of their shoe, much to my annoyance. It didn’t make me want to curl up into a ball and cry. Instead, I wanted to just get angry at them back. Let me hate them as much as they hated me.

I didn’t ask for this.

Not the pitying glances. Not the whispered comments behind my back. And especially not the overly polite way Caden kept checking in on me...
