Chapter 11

I’m late to homeroom. I know that I finished my math homework, but it’s not in my backpack. It’s not in my math folder or tucked into my book. There’s a strong feeling of panic as I run in the room and my stomach sinks when I realize that all seats are taken. Reluctantly, I slide into a seat in the front row, right in front of Asher.

He hasn’t spoken to me since I dumped the rotten possum on his head yesterday morning, and I can’t help but hope that maybe he’s moved on. Found someone else to hate. His cousin has possibly gotten into a good school, and that may mean that he’ll leave me alone.

Yeah, right.

The morning announcements are fast, and everyone pulls out homework and projects to work on. I know that need to finish my poetry review that’s due next period in English, but I have to find my math. I’m more afraid of Mr. Fletcher right now than I am Mrs. Capps, the English teacher.

“Missing something?” Even though I haven’t heard his voice in more than 24 hours, I know Asher when he speaks. My whole body trembles and I turn to look at him, making sure to keep my face as calm and passive as possible. He looks bored, and even that thrills me.

There’s something about him, hell, about all of the devils, that makes me ache. I feel my core tightening whenever I’m around them, no matter what they’re saying or doing. I can’t help the way I feel, but the irony that I’ve never felt this way about any guy before isn’t lost on me.

I want him. The realization hits me as I look at him. Holy hell, that’s something to unpack later.

“Just looking for my math. I know that I stuck it in here somewhere.” I try to keep my voice light and airy as I poke around in my backpack, but I’m beginning to feel panicked. I finished it last night, but then where could it be?
