“Don’t be annoying, Elora,” Felix ordered as he followed after us. Instantly, my smile and excitement over getting second place were gone. All it took was three words that sat in my stomach, weighing me down and churning my gut all at once. Felix thought I was annoying? Was I annoying? I only wanted to know where we were going. Was that why Lucifer didn’t answer? Did he think I was annoying too? He seemed like he was being his usual, quiet self. From now on, I’d just have to do my best not to annoy anyone.
