Two days ago...

Ella's POV
I finally went back to school after being absent for two days. I'd received a letter warning me that any more absences could lead to repercussions, and I really didn't want to find out what those were. That's why I decided to show up, even though I was still scared of going outside.
Even though the thought of running into Mr. Leon terrified me, I convinced myself to step out. He was only a first-year, so I figured the chances of running into him were slim since the first-year and second-year buildings were pretty far apart. But thinking like that? Yeah, that was just the naive part of me.
I moved cautiously, hugging the walls, my eyes darting around corners and peeking down the corridors, trying to ensure I wouldn't accidentally cross paths with him.
"Why are you hiding?"
"Eeeeek!"
