October 20th.
"You tattled on me?" Shane looks over at me while I try to pay attention in English class.
"I beg your pardon?" I whisper under my breath.
"I talked to Caleb." He rolls his eyes.
I run a frustrated hand through my hair.
"Look I didn't mean to tell Caleb anything-" "But you did. Look what I'm doing with Josie is none of your business."
"But it is," I turn, actually making eye contact. "You think you can just toy with my feelings then go after another girl-" "Who said I was interested in you like that in the first place?" He interrupts.
My eyes glaze over and I close them as the bell rings. "You did." I gather my books and walk out of that room as quickly as possible.
I don't get it. How can a person that can make you float on air one day, can shatter everything another day? I should've known. How could I be so stupid? There's so many things about him that resembles Stephan. Why didn't I run when I first noticed?
"Hey," Lily stops me in the hallway. "You alright?"
"Yeah, bad morning." I blink away my emotions and take a deep breath.
Lily's eyes wander off to the side to an angry Shane leaving this same room I just stormed out of.
"Don't let O'Connel get to you." She assures.
"It's not-" "Look, you don't have to lie to me. I'm on that train more than any other person in this building."
I give her a questioning look.
She looks up, hearing the warning bell.
"I'll tell you at lunch! Wanna go out to Sally's?"
"What's Sally's?" "Cute dinner down the street! Wanna go?" "Sure." I nod.
"Cool. Meet me by the gym! Don't tell the girls. It'll be just us." Lovely.
