The next morning I went to Rachel's library. The girl was doing her usual thing, sitting at one of the reading tables, but she paid attention to me.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
Razor and I have already prepared everything for our departure, and tonight we will leave the academy forever. I was waiting for this moment, but at the same time I realized that I still had one important unfinished business.
The one I was going to deal with right now.
— What are you doing up there? Rachel frowned when I had been frozen on the threshold for almost five minutes, «Come here.»
I was nervous, but I still took the first step.
It's either now or never. I was well aware of this, and I wasn't going to back down.
Quietly approaching, I stopped a couple of meters from her desk. My fists clenched by themselves, but I still gave out:
«Rachel, I have to tell you something.»
— what?
— Actually… I'm leaving here soon.
