Chapter Six

Faith wandered through the hallways of her community college, aimlessly heading for her next class. She wanted to be anywhere else at the moment. She mourned again the loss of her excitement and anticipation for her new classes. In truth, she couldn’t have cared less.

“Faith!” Cassie called down the hall with a wave.

Faith smiled as her dear friend approached.

“I still think it’s a bummer we didn’t get a single class together,” Cassie said, pushing aside her mop of blond hair. It was a constant amazement to Faith how the girl’s hair was forever a mess, yet it always looked completely appealing, a charming tousled look that seemed to magnetize every guy within a mile.

“How’s it going?” Faith asked, mustering up some energy.

Cassie stared at her. Then she grabbed her arm and pulled her into a small alcove with two stuffed armchairs sitting kitty-corner from one another. “What’s wrong?”

Faith gaped at her. Another constant amazement was how Cassie could always see right through her.

“Nothing,” she said.

Cassie yanked her down to one of the chairs and plopped into the other one. “Right. Nothing.” She stared at Faith, her eyebrows raised.

“Fine.” Faith blew out her breath. “I don’t want to be here.”

“Then why are you?”

Faith grimaced. “What do you mean? I have to be here. I have class in like five minutes.”

“So.”

“What do you mean so?”

“I mean no one’s forcing you to be here.”

“Cassie, it’s not like that.”

“Then what is it like? College isn’t mandatory.” Cassie gave her a frank look. “Although, weren’t you the one who couldn’t wait to get out of high school so you could start college?”

“Yeah, that was me.”

“Well?”

“I don’t want to be here. I want to go back to Indiana and meet my birth mother. I want to know more about the Amish. I want to know who my father was. Being here, doing this…” Faith gestured widely to the hallways, “seems absolutely pointless.”

Cassie’s brows raised even higher on her forehead. “Okay. So that’s what’s wrong,” she said matter-of-factly.

“She writes me,” Faith said, an urgency filling her voice. “And I write her, too. I know her address. I know who she is.”

Cassie’s face went white. “Then why in the world haven’t you told me! Are you freakin’ kidding me?”

Faith’s eyes lit up. “No! I’m not kidding! I haven’t known very long.”

“But you didn’t tell me?” Cassie reared back in her chair, dropping her backpack to the floor. “You didn’t tell me?”

Faith groaned. Why hadn’t she told Cassie right away? Within minutes? Cassie would have told her if the situation were reversed.

Faith reached over and touched Cassie’s knee. “I’m sorry, Cass. Really, I am. It’s just been so huge that I haven’t really talked to anyone about it.”

“Not even Seth?”

Faith blanched. She pressed her lips together.

Cassie’s eyes bugged. “You haven’t even told Seth?” Her voice was incredulous.

“Not everything. No.” Faith suddenly saw how awful that sounded. She should have told Seth all of this immediately. Why hadn’t she? He loved her. She loved him. Why had she kept this to herself?

“You are unbelievable,” Cassie said.
