Mrs. Lore frowned at him. “Why, dear, would you be feeling nothing? Especially when you’ve got the lovely, if not a little…strange, Aurora. Young love should have you feeling something more than nothing at all. Don’t you think?”

“I don’t love her,” Hale said, cold. I knew it was true but it didn’t make it hurt any less.

“Well then…” Mrs. Lore said. “I see you two are having a fight. Shame, I liked the two of you together. He brought a little color to your art, Aurora.”

When she started walking away I said, “We were never together.”

Even though for a few minutes I thought we were. The second he made it clear that he was going to kiss me, I thought that was it. And it would have been for me. I would have given in, because he made me feel brave enough to face the unknown. As long as he was with me for it.

But that part of me was gone now and I was worse for the experience. I felt like he snuffed out a part of my soul. Smothered it before I could even fight back.

Once class ended I stood up to leave. Hale’s face was miserable and I tried not to care about why. I just left for my next class. I changed and put my stuff away in my new locker.

What happened was over but part of it still remained. The blood had stained the tile a little and apparently it wasn’t coming out. I could still smell traces of it and ever time one of the girls saw the stain, I knew they thought about me. Maybe that was the goal of whoever did it.

I sat on the bleachers with Jenna while we waited for class to start.

“Has he said anything to you?” she asked when Hale walked into the room.

“Yeah. Yeah he did,” I looked down at my feet.

“Well?”

I went over the whole conversation with her, telling her all that was said. It was burned into my head with perfect clarity. When I looked back up at her, her mouth was hanging open and her eyes were wide. “He said all that to you?”

I nodded. “And I said what I said. I wish I hadn’t but it’s already done.”

“I’m surprised that you didn’t do worse. I’ve seen you pissed off before, no one survives.”

“It was a nasty thing to say.”

She scoffed. “As opposed to what he said to you?”

“I thought he liked me. He told me he did…like all the time.” I smiled to myself, “And he kept telling me that he wanted me to love him one day.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry, sweetie. He was always so nice. I can’t believe he would do something like that to you of all people.”

“Yeah, well I guess no one is what they seem. But I think I know when I figured out it wouldn’t work. We were at lunch and he started talking about me, grey haired and old and talking to our grandkids about how I fell in love with him.
