Chapter Thirteen

Sunday brunch was nutty. Really. Every food had some sort of nuts in it, with walnuts being the main event. The oatmeal was pretty good, and I recommended we have it again soon. Mom agreed. Dad could give or take it. He preferred the fresh fruit with nuts and cheese.

They had a lot of questions about my date. I finally told them about the fountain thing, leaving out the part of Brad picking me up and dumping me in. For some reason, that made me feel small—and I wasn’t keen on sharing it with the people who thought the world of me. I managed to get out of there with my pride intact.

Sydney was waiting for me when I got back to the dorms. I pulled out a bag of root beer gummies and told her everything. She thought the whole date was hilarious, from the moment I spilled on him to when I dove into the getaway car. I was dying to know what Brad had told John, but we couldn’t come up with a way to ask him without sounding like I was interested in going out with Brad again.

I was so not interested, and I went to bed with my curiosity dissatisfied.

Monday was a B day, so I didn’t have programming. It was the only class I had with John, but I needed to see him. I texted and asked him to meet me in the dorm bistro after school.

I got there late. My Spanish teacher held us back until Alexander finished his oral report. He could not remember the word for “president,” and we had to wait while she tried to tease it out of him. He finally got it, and I congratulated him on the way out.

John was already at a table in the middle of the room, one foot kicked back and wrapped around the silver chair leg. I swung by the counter and picked up a container of cottage cheese. Not because I was hungry, but because I needed a moment to calm my heart. It picked up speed the closer I got to him.

“Hey.” I set my stuff down. “I have a question for you.”

He leaned back, throwing one arm over the back of the chair. “Hi to you too.”

I smirked. “Did you set me up with Brad because you thought it would be funny?”

“Funny?” He came forward.

“He climbed in a fountain to wash off his pants. I mean, did you think that was the kind of guy I wanted?” I did my best to keep my tone light and conversational even though I’d stewed over this all weekend long, and it felt so good to finally get it out even though I was worried he’d be mad or offended and leave just because I asked.. But I had to know if he was messing with me, if I meant so little to him that he was playing games.

He blinked. “Brad’s fun. I thought it would be a fun first date. I didn’t want you miserable like I was on my first date, so I picked the fun guy.
