Chapter Nineteen: Remy

It was impossible to sleep that night. The wheels in my brain kept turning and it was causing my head to pound. Kyler was so comfortable with talking about what she was and I wished some of that confidence would rub off on me. I’d been hiding my secret for so many years that it was easier to continue to do so.

Realizing that sleep was hopeless, I got up for a midnight snack that consisted of cereal and milk. All the tossing and turning had made me hungry. I also took some medicine for my head, but my mind continued to go back to Kyler’s confession.

Looking at my phone, I saw a text from Ethan. It read, ‘I’m moving in on her tomorrow’. What an ass. He knew I liked her. Sometimes I wondered why we were friends. He only cared about one thing in life and it was sad that he was missing out on so much because of it.

‘Good luck with that,’ I texted back.

I didn’t get a response and he was probably already sleeping. I wasn’t worried about Ethan hitting on Kyler because I had a better chance now that she opened up to me. Granted, it was only because she blew it when she lost control, but it was still a step up that Ethan didn’t have. That guy was such an idiot.

When I finished my bowl of cereal, I tried to get some rest again. My brain was still going a mile a minute, so sleep continued to evade me. Instead, I rested my eyes until the sun broke through the window and the alarm on my phone went off. It was time for class.

I was slow to get ready for school now that I was running on fumes. I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through the day but knew Kyler’s presence would make it a little easier. She wouldn’t be able to talk about her elements at school, but that was why I would ask her out on a date. Before Ethan had the chance to. I looked like crap from the lack of sleep, but hopefully, that wouldn’t deter her from saying yes.

I rushed to school, but to my disappointment, Kyler wasn’t even there. Mrs. Hildebrand made her stay home today while she decided what to do for her punishment. Word on the street was that she was going to be expelled, but that was probably only a rumor. Kyler really didn’t do anything wrong so she didn’t deserve to be expelled.

On the way to second hour, Ethan stopped me. “Hey, man. Your luck’s all out. The new girl is so popular now that I can’t wait any longer. You understand, right?”

“That you’re a terrible friend? Yeah, I understand that.” My gaze hardened on him.

“Oh, come on, man. Don’t be like that. You know I always have to go for the most talked about girl. It’s all just a part of my reputation I have to keep up.
