Jace let go of her wrist and took a couple steps back, putting space between them.
Lilly felt warmth in her nose. She touched it and stared at her fingers, now streaked with blood.
“Oh my god, I’m bleeding.” Her voice came out shaky.
Jace glanced at her. It was just a nosebleed.
He grabbed a couple tissues and handed them over. “Tilt your head back. You’ll be fine in a minute.”
Lilly took the tissues and did as he said. “Why am I getting a nosebleed?”
Jace didn’t answer. He just opened the door and walked outside.

Jace didn’t slow down, striding away.
Lilly kept pace, talking nonstop at his side. “Did you get those from fighting? You really shouldn’t fight anymore. You should focus on your classes. Seriously, education is your best shot.”
Jace’s face didn’t change at all. It was like she was invisible.
Up ahead, a group of girls appeared, led by Penny. She looked furious.
“Lilly, stop right there.” Penny’s voice rang out. “My friends are with me now. Are you scared yet?”
Lilly stared at Penny, annoyed she had the guts to show up again. She stepped forward. “I’m not scared of you—”
