KAO

When everyone left with Fallon, the frustration rolled back in because she doesn’t want me near her.

“Come on, let’s go,” Noah says.

I let out a sigh as I get up, and we walk out of the suite. Even though I won’t be able to take down notes from the classes, I can sit in on them and listen, which will help a lot. Besides, the sooner I get back into our regular routine, the better for everyone.

When we walk out of the building, the extra dark sunglasses help against the sunlight. Noah always makes sure I don’t forget them. He’s been such an amazing pillar of strength, and a hundred lifetimes won’t be enough to repay him for everything he’s done for me.

“Hey guys,” Nate, a junior, greets us. “Sorry to hear about the accident, Kao.”

I nod, feeling uncomfortable. I never know how to reply when people say they’re sorry. It’s not like it’s their fault.

“Let me know if I can help with anything,” Nate offers.

“Thanks,” I reply before we keep walking.

Entering our first class, Noah picks seats in the back where it’s a little darker. “I never noticed the back being so dark, or I would’ve hidden out here and snoozed through the lectures,” I joke as we sit down.

“Jase had them remove the fluorescent lights in the back for you,” Noah informs me.

Surprised, I ask, “Seriously?”

“Yeah. Remember to thank him.”

“Of course.”

The day goes by slow and at least not too many students come up to me. Then again, I’ve always been an introvert and never encouraged them to interact with me before the accident happened, so I don’t see why they would change toward me now.

But Fallon’s always been an extrovert. Will today be different for her? God, I hope she isn’t swamped with people.

“Can you check with one of the girls and see how Fallon’s day was?” I ask Noah.

“Sure.” He makes the call, then says, “Fallon’s okay. They’re heading to the restaurant. Are we going to join them for an early dinner?”

“Yeah, let’s go,” I agree, hoping it will help if Fallon and I are thrown together in a social setting.

When we walk into the restaurant, and I see that everyone’s in their usual seats, a smile begins to curve around my lips. I sit down next to Fallon, and immediately, her hand flies up to make sure her hair is covering her face.

Placing my hand on the back of her neck, I lean in and press a kiss to the side of her head. Fallon jerks, and when I pull back, she turns her face to me and whispers, “Don’t do that.”

“Why?” I ask, working hard to keep the smile on my face so she won’t see the worry I feel for her.

“You’re the one who broke things off between us,” she mutters under her breath so the others won’t hear.

“I didn’t mean it,” I reply. Needing to make her understand why I said those things to her, I ask, “Can we talk after dinner
