A familiar face makes her appearance. A dark end to Chapter 3.
Today's sample:
Harper Graham wasn’t sure she liked Grace when they had first met. Mister Kim had introduced them. He said Grace had wanted to meet her and that the younger girl was a very good judge of character. Harper was flattered Grace had taken a liking to her, but the older girl noticed none of the other kids talked to her. She had even asked Caleb about Grace, but he just asked “Who?”, so she dropped it.
Caleb and Harper had known each other since last school year when he was placed in the Kim household, but had grown closer since the start of the current term. She didn’t have a lot of friends, so she always loved hanging out with him at his foster home because everyone made her feel like one of the family. Sure they had to endure the teasing about them K-I-S-S-I-N-G, but they just either ignored it and rolled their eyes at each other or just laughed it off.
Harper missed those days now. Even more, she missed her best friend. Nothing had been the same since Mister Kim died. Just like that, Caleb had been ripped from her life. She hadn’t heard from him since the night before the massacre. They had text before bed as always. She liked how normal he was despite being blind. He never let that stop him. That was how they bonded: two freaks in a world where the normals outnumbered them. Now Harper was alone again.
