“Hey,” Chris said as he walked over to us.

            “What’s up,” I asked as I searched his face.

            “Nothing much,” he said avoiding my eyes.

            “What happened,” I asked.

            “Nothing,” he said.

            “Bullshit,” I said back angrily.

            “Ethan is just talking like usual.”

            “About you,” I asked.

            “No,” he said.

            “Then who?”

            “You.”

            “Me,” I asked confused.

            “He has some weird vendetta against you,” he said with a shrug.

            “What did he say?”

            “Just that you were gonna pay for the disrespect and for getting Nathan on him,” he said back.

            “That’s his own fault,” I said.

            “I’m scared he’s gonna hurt you,” Chris said sadly.

            “Who’s gonna hurt her,” I heard. I turned and saw that it was Nathan that had said it. Him and K.J. had come up behind us.

            “Nobody is,” I said quickly.

            “Really,” he asked looking back at me.

            “No. I’m talking about Ethan,” Chris told him.

            “What did Ethan say he was gonna do,” Nathan asked with hard eyes.

            “Nothing. Just that he was gonna get her,” Chris said back.

            “He can try,” Nathan said as he walked away.

            “Well he seemed a little mad about the news,” K.J. said.

            “He doesn’t like Ethan,” I said with a shrug.

            “Sure. This is about Ethan,” Chris said rolling his eyes.

            “It is,” I said in a huff.

            “You just keep lying to yourself,” K.J. said grinning.

            “Maybe it’s you that’s lying to yourself,” I said with a smile.

            “Uh huh,” was all he said as we started to make our way into the school. It was eerily quiet. Then I noticed Ethan and Nathan standing in the middle of the hall glaring at each other.

            “Hey,” I said as I walked up to them forcing a smile on my face.

            “You need to train your dog better,” Ethan said with a smirk towards me.
