Chapter Six

  Sully didn’t turn up to the next day of school. I held my breath in the hallway that morning, and even Base kept glancing around as if watching out for him.

  “Looks like your little display worked,” he said.

  “Here’s hoping.”

  He looked at me as if to say something else, but then he shook his head slightly and turned back to his locker.

  “What? You think I was wrong?”

  He heaved a sigh. “I think you had to do something. I also think there are better ways to deal with people.”

  I had a feeling he wasn’t talking about Sully. I stared at him, thinking hard.

  “Maybe,” I conceded.

  He turned to look at me then, and I sucked in a breath, waiting for him to speak, but people started turning up, and the moment was gone.
