Chapter Twenty-One

Cade

When Monday rolled around, my temper had about reached its limit. I had been pissy since the fight with Ava. Not wanting to be around anyone, I went straight to my classes, ate lunch alone, and then got straight to work after school, even if I wasn’t scheduled. I told Rick he didn’t have to pay me, so he left me alone to sort the music, not asking any questions.

My mom brought Darrel home almost every night in what I guessed was an effort to force us to talk. That wasn’t happening. I may have promised to play nice, sure, but I wasn’t in the mood to play nice with anyone.

The only person I wanted to talk to was the one I was avoiding like the plague. Acting the way I had pissed me off more than anything. My temper had gotten the best of me and gotten in the way of how I really felt. Even knowing she was doing something important to her, I asked her to drop it. My anger made me blind to the fact I actually was asking her to stop doing what she needed to get done. Even so, I hadn't meant I wanted her to stop doing all of it in general.

She thought I hated the stuff she did, but that wasn’t it. I loved how intelligent she was, how she could take on anything thrown her way. Her thinking she had to do it all herself was what pissed me off. Feeling like I had lost something that would have changed my life was the tip of the iceberg. It was probably for the best, though. She deserved better than me.

I kept my head low to avoid dealing with anything or anyone on Monday. At least a few people had to know nothing was going on between Ava and me anymore, since Sydney showed up around every freaking corner, latching herself onto my arm. I didn’t want her, didn’t want anyone else, but I didn’t put much effort into brushing her off.

She found me during lunch, which was a huge surprise since I was hiding at a picnic table behind the motor shop away from everything. The fact she even knew we had a motor shop baffled me. She swaggered over in skimpy, white shorts and a pink tank, her hair a pile of curls cascading over her chest. The view was appreciated, since it was there, but I still wasn’t interested.

“Mind if I sit?” She flashed me a killer smile and sat down across from me without waiting for a response.

It took a lot not to roll my eyes. “Sure.” I shrugged, taking a bite of my pizza. She didn’t have any food with her, so she obviously wasn’t there to eat with me. “You not eating?”

With a giggle, she flipped her hair over a shoulder. My cringe was hidden behind another bite of pizza. “The food here is awful for you.” She gave my pizza a weary eye. “I eat when I get home from school, so I don’t have to carry around a silly lunch pack.
