Chapter 1

I could not let him see me. If that happened, I was literally going to curl up in the fetal position and pretend I was dead. There was no way I could allow that scenario to play out.

Frantically looking around, I searched for my nearest escape route. There wasn’t any. I needed to hide in plain sight. That was my only option. He would not confront me if I was with other people, he wouldn’t dare. Not after last time.

I hurried over to the first person standing alone I could see – some random guy reading a textbook. “Hi, do you mind if I stand here and pretend to have a conversation with you?”

His eyes flicked up from the book, blue ones, like the Caribbean. “Uh, okay?”

“That’s great, thank you. I’m trying to avoid someone so it would really help me out if we just pretended this was the most intense conversation of our lives. Think you can do that?”

“You must really want to avoid that someone.”

“You have no idea.” If it wasn’t painfully obvious, it should have been. I would sooner pull out my own eyeballs and eat them rather than have Davis see me and think we could actually talk. That would only happen over my dead body.

“You can kiss me if you want,” the guy said casually, so casually I wondered if I had heard correctly.

“Uh, what?”

His blue eyes pierced me. There was something intense burning behind them. “I said you can kiss me if you want to. That should help you hide better. You know, covered face and all that.”

There was no way to tell whether he was joking or not. I narrowed my gaze. “I think I’m good, thank you.”

He shrugged, finally smiling. So he was joking, that was a relief. “Fine with me, just trying to help. My name is Caden, by the way. In case you need to tell that someone how amazing your friend is, it’s better to have details. Details always help with a lie.”

For a second, I completely forgot what I was doing. Clearly, I had chosen the wrong random guy to talk to. I had chosen a weirdo. I searched around, seeing if Davis was still stalking me. He was nowhere in sight.

I breathed a sigh of relief and plastered on a triumphant smile. “Well, thanks, Caden, but I think I lost him.”

“Glad to be of help,” he said, weirdly sincere. “So, can I get your number?”

He wanted my number? That didn’t seem like a good idea. “I already have one guy I need to avoid, I don’t think I need two. Thanks for your help.”

I started heading for class, but Caden called out after me. “Are you sure? I happen to be terrible at stalking people.
