Chapter 11

• Ms. Claire was unsurprised to receive me back in class. With a wave of her hand she motioned for me to take my seat.
• I mustered as much courage as I could and made my way to my desk knowing that several eyes followed my every move; My best friends wondering if I'll make a fool of myself, Devon looking smug and annoying as fuck, Kieran looking with longing and knowing that after my curt dismissal today he had no chance of having me again - Olivia's gaze for some reason - and Ms. Claire's waiting for me to take my seat.
• I expected the new kid to stare, awestruck, because that's the reaction I always get. But when I slanted my gaze at him, hoping to see him gawking, I was the one caught off guard.
