Chapter 32

Once the dining hall has cleared out there's a tense silence as we all wait for Mason to explain.

“Well?” Mr Collins demands. I can only see his feet from my position behind the wall of muscle. The dagger clatters to the floor in between Mason and Mr Collins’ feet.

“Someone threw that at us. It was heading straight at Josie’s head,” Mason explains.

“And you saw it and managed to intercept it?” Mr Collins asks, his tone sounds accusing.

“Yes, I did,” Mason growls.

“Did anyone else see this happen?” Mr Collins asks.

“I did, Mason acted before I could even open my mouth to warn anyone,” Joe admits.

“Very well. Does anyone know who threw it or see anything suspicious?” he asks and we all say no. “Get to class, I'll get to the bottom of this. Well done, all of you, you acted quickly and kept your bonds safe,” he says before picking up the dagger and walking away. He didn't even ask if I was okay. Asshole.

Dot and her bonds head to class after she warns us all to stay safe
