Later that day, Kyle was sitting with the Cliffhangers as each of them pored over their biology books. Well, the other Cliffhangers were poring over their books; Kyle was just merely trying to concentrate. But he couldn't. He couldn't get his nightmare from the previous night to go away. He began to shake his leg nervously and his head jerked to the side as if averting his face would help him forget. Presently, Scott noticed this.
"Hey. You okay, man?" he queried.
"Yeah. I'm cool," was the answer.
"Then how come you haven't turned a page in twenty minutes?" came the next question.
"Oh," Kyle said with some sheepishness. He quickly skimmed the page, and then went on. Suddenly, the group was aware of a presence standing over them. Somewhat startled, they turned around.
"Peter," Katherine sighed.
"Hey, Peter. Don't scare us like that, huh?" Scott requested.
"Sorry," Peter apologized. "Group in five," he told them. Everybody groaned.
"We just had group yesterday," Kyle complained.
"It's an everyday thing," Scott explained. With a sigh, they all gathered up their things, and then met in the lodge. That day, Juliette started the session. Apparently, she had gotten a degrading letter from her mother and it had really gotten to her.
"I just don't understand why she acts this way!" Juliette whined.
"Because she wants a perfect little girl and can't see it's undoable," Daisy drawled. Kyle stifled a laugh.
"Hey, at least you don't have to worry about someone gunnin' for ya. Abe's still ticked at me," Auggie stated.
"Anyone else want to say anything?" Peter questioned. The kids answered to the negative.
"Hey, Kyle. You had a nightmare last night," Scott recalled.
"You want to talk about that, Kyle?" Peter queried.
"No," Kyle responded, shooting Scott an angry glare.
"Are you sure?" Peter checked.
"Didn't you hear me? I'm not ready to talk about yet!" Kyle shouted. Then, he jumped up and ran out of the room.
