Blood Moon (22 page)

“You’re not buying your ticket,” I said, upon my approach.

Candra turned around, fully expecting Blake to be the one who spoke, but then she noticed me.

“Um, hey,” she responded.

“Hey.” She had this doe-eyed expression, like she couldn’t believe I actually stood in front of her. Meanwhile, Jana and Blake were glaring at me like I was here to cause trouble. Ignoring them, I reached into my jeans pocket and pulled out twenty bucks, handing it to Candra. “Get whatever you want.” She gladly accepted the money without any clue as to what I just did. Jana and Blake knew, judging by their faces. I was pretty sure they wanted to murder me. Without delay, I turned on my heel and casually strolled off, doing everything in my power to control the grin on my face.
