The Gateway Through Which They Came - Plot & Excerpts
She left a second before anyone else, fleeing before I could get an explanation. First period has come and gone with no sign of her, and in the back of my mind I can’t let go. Maybe she went home, escaping the trouble that awaited her here. I have half a mind to confront Justin in theater and demand he confess. To what? Who knows. Someone did something to Koren, and with their past record, Justin is at the top of my list. Clumsily, I make my way through the halls, bumping shoulders with every person I pass. “Watch where you’re going, jackass!” I don’t know who says it, but I don’t care. I have to find Koren. “Hi, Aiden!” Julie Martin waves to me as I pass her locker. If my mind wasn’t so preoccupied, I’d ask her if everything was all right with her uncle, but I don’t. Her smile drops as I pass her without a word. “Sorry, in a hurry!” I should say.
