Chapter Eleven

GRACE

Two long days passed between the social and the next time Grace was able to meet with Jonah.

She thought she might go out of her mind in that time.

She spent all day Sunday in her room, terrified to go out, frightened of what would happen if she crossed paths with Aubrey. When she’d been sitting beside Jonah at Field Day, it had seemed like a very distant worry, something she didn’t really need to dwell on. But now he was back on his campus, and she was alone, with no one who knew what she was dealing with.

I wish I could tell Skye, she thought desperately.

But Jonah had made it clear that he wasn’t ready for anybody to know what was going on between the two of them. He hadn’t given her a command, but she didn’t want to go against his wishes. A part of her still felt that it was too good to be true, his having imprinted on her. How could he possibly want her?

What if he resents the fact that he imprinted on me? It was Aubrey he really wanted. What if he’s wishing it had never happened?

That thought was never too far from her mind, no matter how hard she tried to push it away.

On Monday, she had to go to class. Much as she would have liked to stay home, she knew that drawing attention to herself was a bad idea right now. Aubrey would be looking for any ammunition at all that she could use against Grace.

She sat in the back of the classroom again, praying that Aubrey wouldn’t sit beside her. For once, luck seemed to be on her side. Her rival didn’t even glance her way as she made her way down the steps to the front of the classroom and took a seat right in front of Professor Jenkins.

She’s sucking up, Grace thought.

Then she pushed the thought away. Who cared what Aubrey was doing? As long as she was leaving Grace alone, that was the only thing that mattered.

Tuesday seemed to crawl by agonizingly slowly. Grace felt incapable of paying attention in her classes. She stared at the clock, waiting for the hour when she would finally be free to run down to the river and spend time with Jonah.

Finally, after what felt like forever, class was dismissed. Grace grabbed her things and hurried out of the room.

But she was stopped at the door by a hand on her shoulder.

She turned, anxious, expecting to find Aubrey, thankful for the fact that they were still in the doorway of the classroom where Professor Jenkins could see them, where Aubrey couldn’t do anything to her.

But it wasn’t Aubrey. It was Skye.

“I need to talk to you,” she said.

Grace opened her mouth to protest, but before she could speak, Skye had locked a hand around her wrist and was dragging her away from the academic building and out onto the grounds. Grace stumbled after her, doing her best to keep up.

Once they had put a significant amount of distance between themselves and the buildings, Skye stopped.
