The party was lively, and Nathan felt tired of everyone trying to be friendly to him. But he felt a big difference between Christmas and this party. Most of the Salazars were there, and they were warmer toward Nathan.
He also didn't see Franc anywhere. It was quite strange. He hadn't paid much attention to him in class either. Come to think of it, the boy had rarely been in class since the incident with Gabriel. Mike said the boy had taken a leave of absence from school due to illness.
And the boy was nowhere to be seen now either. Although Nathan didn't like him, he hoped Franc was still alive.
He tried to stay away from the crowd. The party was more relaxed than Christmas, but there were more people he didn't know, because some of them were Roger's friends whom Nathan was seeing for the first time.
