As she took note of Blackthorn’s lecture, Demi felt a piece of paper being slid under her arm. She turned to look at Kalder with questioning and reproachful eyes, but didn’t get a response back. Instead, the blond male had resumed his note-taking of the class on his piece of parchment. Letting out a frustrated sigh, she discreetly unfolded the note. Upon reading its contents, the brunette couldn’t help but scoff. 

Was he being serious?

Fuming, Demi angrily scribbled back a response:

And then pushed the paper back in his direction.

If Kalder still cared, Demi knew he would be stung at the blunt tone in her words. Hell, she [i]hoped[/i] it did. Served him right… It was the least he deserved. And yet… 

She had purposely refrained from saying yes to his asking for a seat change. In all honesty, she didn’t [i]want[/i] Kalder to switch seats. Even if it was a constant reminder of the hurt he’d caused her, there was a dumb part of her that actually enjoyed him being so close to her. Knowing their bodies were in such close proximity of each other gave her a strange sense of comfort and the tiniest ray of hope. Maybe this constant presence and forced interaction with each other would make Kal realize he’d made a mistake in letting her go. Maybe he would want her in his arms again. Maybe he never stopped loving her…

Jomana’s words rumbled in her head, bringing her back to reality and away from the hopeless thoughts that had been creeping up on her. Kalder Sigourney was nothing but a cowardly Slytherin who only cared about himself and what others thought of him. He’d never been in love with her, he’d never truly given a shit, and he never would. Her happiness had never mattered to him before, so who was to say it did now? 

Demi refused to give him the power to hurt her again.
