She had heard the recordings posted. EVERYONE had heard them, the talk of the school being how golden boy Bryce Walker was an absolute MONSTER behind closed doors. The rest of the horrors on those recordings of a dead girl couldn’t even compare to what he had done. The questions she had already received, on if she had ever known anything. The answer being of course not but some weren’t so quick to believe. So when someone else was approaching, Mercy turned with the full intention of telling them to just LEAVE HER ALONE. But then seeing it was none other than Alex, one of her brother’s little friends and another name on the recordings, she had to pause. Well if anyone else might understand what it felt like to just be STARED AT, it had to be one of the others, right?
Her lips were pressed into a thin line before attempting to turn upwards into an obviously FORCED smile. Mercy never was a great LIAR. ❝ Fine. Totally fine. Just algebra is really killing me, you know? ❞ Not what he meant and Mercy damn well knew it.
