In this chapter, Star is trying too hard.

Star couldn't answer it. The question. The problem. Those numbers and symbols that were etched into the blackboard. Jumbled pieces of a much larger, far more complex puzzle. She tried to think about it. She concentrated and concentrated and concentrated. But her head was starting to hurt.

Everyone was waiting for her to solve it. She could feel their eyes on the back of her head. A shudder ran down her spine. The class watched silently, judging her. Jackie. Janna.

Marco.

Her concentration broke at the thought of his face. What it probably looked like at the moment. A devastating distraction.

Her finger slipped and the white chalk skimmed. It stained the board- the problem as well- with her mistake and she knew. Oh, she knew. She knew that she had screwed up.

Screwed up. Screwed up. Screwed up.

Royally.

A loud boom thundered from beyond the four walls and the floor and the windows and the skies. Thousands of mirrors shattering all at once, all over the world. At the same time. Or maybe, not glass. Crystals. Star felt the shockwave in her bones. The chalk through her fingers as she stared in silent, electrical horror at her mistake. It never even reached the ground though.

The walls crumbled away. She didn't turn around, but she knew that the walls were being pulled back. The floor crumbled away too. And the ceiling. And in her peripheral vision, she saw the world outside crumble away.

Her world.

Students didn't scream as they fell backwards into the ever consuming void of nonexistence. An opening mouth. Devoid of stars and planets and light and heat and cold and everything.

Star opened her mouth to scream.

And she crumbled away.
