I didn’t like the idea of someone I didn’t know showing up while I slept, but Marco trusted him. Plus, I didn’t believe men that huge could be sneaky, unless he was smaller. It was unlikely though. I looked at my tiny window and shook my head.
I bit my lip, considering. Then squeaked out, “do you by chance have another polo for school?”
Silence followed.
“Why do you need a new polo?” Marco barely got out.
I thought fast, “dinner.” Ihad beenin the kitchen.
Marco sighed in relief but hesitantly responded, “I will have Atlas drop one by.”
I nodded. “Thank you. Tell everyone I say goodnight.” I hated lying. I hated it. I forced myself to be good at it. They would have been so upset if they found out about the darkness that talked to me. The one in the center of my chest that told me to exact revenge. I suppose that was better than the one that told me to give up.
Marco repeated my message before whispering goodnight to me as well. I hung up the small pink device before placing it under my pillow. I closed my eyes in relief while positioning myself on my stomach. I hoped Atlas would just leave the polo at my window or something. I wasn’t much in the mood for meeting anyone today.
It had been a very long day.
