Emily POV
You can't block Emily, I tell myself.
But the bad news was that I already had.
I had always been known for being an outstanding student, with good grades, good retention, and a decent understanding of what I was being taught, but Eden Murphy had some pact with the devil that made me simply lose all confidence as soon as I crossed that threshold of the classroom.
After that first exam, I lost confidence in all my skills and knowledge, I began to question everything and demand more from myself to achieve a better average, however, as soon as that lady crossed my path, all the work was lost and in my temple, a metal plate was drilled that did not allow my neurons to make a connection.
