The words hammered in Ravenna’s skull like a frantic drum solo: "Just fine. Get the day. Don't go insane, Ravenna." She practically ricocheted off lockers in her rush to class, a desperate attempt to outrun the anxiety clawing at her gut.

His laughter, aimed directly at her sickly pallor, made a strange blush creep up her neck
