“So are you guys like, dating now?”

I placed my hairbrush into my locker and grabbed my bag, ignoring Suzie’s question. It wasn’t hard to pretend that I hadn’t heard her. She couldn’t be surprised if, after a whole year without a friendship existing between us, I thought she was talking to someone else. After changing within a minute and a half, I’d wasted the final half minute brushing my hair. There was no time left for Suzie.

“Aly?” She moved to stand beside me, and I couldn’t ignore her any longer.

That still didn’t mean she would be able to keep me from meeting David.

“No, we aren’t dating.”

“But you like him?”

“What do you care, Suzie?” I hitched my bag over my shoulder and turned to face her. My tone remained emotionless and my face blank, but inside I was floored with confusion. “We aren’t friends, remember? If I did like David, which I am not admitting to, why would I tell you?”

“I’m trying, Aly,” she said. Her expression looked pained, like it had been hard for her to talk to me and that having me shoot her down for the effort was like a stab to the heart.

“Trying to do what? Annoy me?” I shook my head and took a step forward, side-stepping her so that I could pass her.

“We need to talk.”

“Oh, no. We don’t. You made that more than clear last year.”

“Aly—”

“Goodbye, Suze. I have to go. If you really want to talk, why don’t you find one of your drones?”

I hurried out of the change room and into the hallway, forcing myself to keep my gaze forward and not look back at her. How long had I waited for her to approach me and say something like this? A year’s worth of relief flooded my system, followed by annoyance. Did she have a sensor that told her when I was happy so she could ruin it? Maybe, if she tried to talk to me again, I would listen.

Right now I had better things waiting, and despite how fast I was, David was leaning against the wall opposite the change room door with one leg bent to rest his foot against the wall. He smiled and held out his hand. I smiled and my shoulders slumped. A sigh of relief escaped and I nodded once, and then stepped forward with my hand outstretched.

Thoughts of Suzie escaped the moment our skin touched, the familiar zap forcing a mindless buzz to fog my mind.
