She narrowed her beady glower and pressed her lips even tighter together. Then she pointed at me, like I could somehow miss the fact she loathed me in this empty hallway, save for the four of us.
“This isn’t over,” she warned.
I slid my finger under my necklace and traced it back and forth. Taunting her. “Well, seeing as I’m graduating—all As, how about that!—I’d say I am done with you and your mind games.”
She tore her focus from my finger lining the necklace and making my neala jump at the touch. “It’s not over by a long shot, young lady.” She curled her lip and snarled. “Just wait and see.”
Without another glower or growl, she turned and left down the hall.
She was right. It wasn’t over. The way I saw it, my future was only beginning.
And it would be on my terms.
