Chapter Eleven: First Day Part Two







The lunch bell rings and I jump in my seat, my mind being ripped from it's trance.

"Are you okay?" Miley asks me for the millionth time.

"I'm fine." I reply.

"You've told me that like seven times, Grace, and I just think that you're not okay."

"Well I'm fine."

I collect my things and head for the door. She trails behind me.

"Are you upset because Crystal is pregnant?" She presses. "I know you are, but is it because you're in love with Danny?"

"I'm not in love with him. I love him as my best friend."

"Well yeah, but-"

"Miley, I'm not in love with him."

"Alright." She lets it drop.

We walk side by side to the cafeteria. I follow her to the table they sit at.

Danny is there.

What the hell! Kyle told me he sits with Crystal!

My steps falter but before I can run, our eyes lock.

He stands up and makes a point to remove his backpack from the seat to his left, and then he points to it.

I groan quietly to myself and walk all the way over to him.

"It's about time you graced me with your presence." He says flatly.

With a roll of my eyes. I pick my bag up again and turn to leave, but his hand locks around mine before I can.

"Wait. I'm sorry. Don't go. We need to talk, Grace."

With my back to him, I shut my eyes and sigh, and then I turn back around and sit down.

He takes the seat next to me and I eye his tray.

"We can talk at home." I say.

"But-"

"At home." I repeat, lifting my eyes to meet his.

"Fine." He grumbles. "Can I see your schedule?"

I open my mouth to tell him no and then I text it to him.

I watch his eyes skim it over.

"We have the next three classes together." He says. "And also, my boss wants an interview with you."

"When?" I ask, swiping some of his fries. I move his tray between us and open the ketchup packets, dumping them on his tray.
