Sam

* * *

A quick rap of knuckles sounds on the glass of my car window Tuesday morning, making me startle.

Glancing around, I realize that I’m sitting in the school parking lot, but I don’t remember driving here. At all. No traffic lights, pedestrians or other cars. Nothing.

How can I possibly think of anything except for what happened yesterday?

A smile spreads across my face as I remember in great detail the things Grant did to me.

Another knock on my window, and then I hear Hunter’s voice saying my name. After I turn the car off, I grab my backpack from the passenger seat. Tossing my keys inside the front zipper, I finally get out of the car.

“You okay?” Hunter asks.

“Uh-huh,” I answer, heading for the sidewalk with him next to me.

“Where were you yesterday after school? I thought you were grounded?”

“A, um, friend’s house,” I answer before I stupidly remember the much better, more believable physical therapy excuse I gave my parents.

“A friend’s house,” Hunter repeats skeptically. “You don’t have any friends but me.”

“I…I have a new friend. A girl,” I lie. “She’s new in town.”

“Nice! Is she hot? Does she go to school with us?” he asks.

“Nope, she’s a few years older. We met at physical therapy,” I further the lie since I figure a little truth mixed in will make it more believable.

“What’s her name?” he asks.

“Gr…Grace,” I say off the top of my head. “Grace is a runner for the community college, and she pulled her hamstring.”

Totally believable. I’ve almost convinced myself that I have a new friend named Grace.

“You should introduce me,” Hunter says, and I assume that’s because he already wants to sleep with this fictional woman.

“Sorry, but she has a serious boyfriend,” I tell him, so he’ll lay off. “I’m just hanging out with her because she can’t leave the house until her leg heals and I’m a cripple too for now, so we’re just…watching girly movies.”

“Fine,” Hunter grumbles. “But we haven’t hung out in, like, weeks, so you owe me a date night with or without Grace.”

“Soon,” I promise him.

“I’m serious, Sam. After this summer, I’ll be heading to Raleigh, and you’ll be who the hell knows where. We need to spend as much time as we can before you move away and forget about me,” he says. “Or, you could just let me pay your tuition from my trust fund, and then you could come to State with me!”

Ignoring his last comment about paying my way, I laugh and tell him, “I could never forget you. You’ve been my best friend since kindergarten, trying to keep up with me…”

“Oh, I can keep up with you,” he says with a chuckle. “Back then you just had an unfair advantage of being born with ostrich legs.”

“Hunter!” I exclaim, shoving him in his shoulder before we walk into class and settle in our seats.

I try to focus on what Mrs. Witten is saying about Ohm’s law, but it’s pointless. My mind is still stuck on Grant.
