Back in Gary's classroom, there was one student who hadn't moved at all from her seat, and that was Xin. She had kept her head down, which was still pounding from the lack of sleep. After everything she had experienced that night, the most frightening thing for her was waiting for her when she got home, because she had been forced to confront her father.
As the mayor, it was impossible for her to keep something of that magnitude hidden from him, especially since the bodyguard assigned to her had been killed in active duty, leaving her no other choice but to tell him the truth. Xin had confessed to everything, though she claimed that she had wanted to celebrate with some of her friends because of the rugby match, before they had been attacked by an Altered.
The news report later revealed this fact and the police report made it so her father believed her. Unlike what she had expected, the mayor had hugged her tightly and had just been thankful that it appeared to have been a random attack rather than someone trying to go after her.
Of course, that hadn't been the end of it. This morning, after having thought things over during the night, he had told Xin about the changes that would happen to avoid such a situation. The increase of bodyguards was the least of her troubles.
'The worst part is, I can't even complain about him changing the rules of this deal. Still, he could at least have allowed me to go home by myself. How am I supposed to make any friends, if I have to drive to and from school in a car? I guess the only freedom I have left is in school.' Xin sulked as she could hear the sound of giggling from behind.
The annoying high pitched laugh had become an annoyance and it was giving the high school girl a bigger headache than usual.
'How great would school be if Tiffany wasn't around... She has yet to actually do anything since our talk, but I can't shake this feeling that she is plotting something big.'
However, right now Xin was simply too tired to care whatever that banshee was preparing. Her last thought before she fell asleep was where Gary had actually disappeared to yesterday.
