Chapter Nine

Gun

7 Years Earlier

Ed and I find Cooper waiting for us outside the administrator’s office. She’s doing an exceptional job studying her new schedule. Or, maybe she’s just staring at the paper to avoid having to make eye contact with all the other students moving through the hall like unruly herds of cattle.

“Coop,” I call her name to get her attention over the noise.

She lifts her gaze, searching for me, her bright blue eyes land on me almost immediately and she smiles, waving at us. Weaving her way through a new crowd of freshman cruising through, she cuts across to where we’re standing. “Hey.” She’s damn near giddy. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen her quite like this.

“What’s up with you?”

She turns her schedule around to show me. “I have the same bitch for first period!”

I grin. “I’m sorry. That really sucks for you.”

She shoves me playfully, doing her best to look stern, but it doesn’t stick. “Don’t you get it? We have a class together! Not only are we actually in the same school at the same time, but we get to start every day hanging out from now until we graduate!”

“You’re only this excited because you think I’m exaggerating what a bitch our teacher is,” I tease as we start to walk. But Cooper won’t be fazed. She just hooks her arm into mine and keeps jabbering on about all the ways this is going to turn out to be the best thing that’s ever happened to us. It’s not the best. It’s the most normal. Which, makes it seem like it’s the best.

“Hold up,” Ed cuts in just as we’re about to walk into class. “You’re not like gonna try and pass us notes and shit, are you? I know you and Gun are besties and all, and I’m totally down with being pals, but I don’t want all the slumber parties we’ve had together to give you the wrong idea, I’m a dude. Passing notes, giggling and anything that involves hearts and doodles of any kind, are not my department.”

She frowns. “You think I would doodle hearts and shit?”

I wrap my arm around her shoulder and squeeze her close to me, kissing her temple. “That’s my girl. All disgusted with hearts and shit.” Maybe she’s right. Maybe having first period together is the best thing that’s ever happened to us.

By the time we get out of class, Cooper’s ready to transfer schools. That’s how mean our teacher is.

“What happened to her to make her like that?” she asks, still shaking her head in disbelief.

I shrug. “No idea. I mean, there are plenty of stories floating around, but I doubt any of them are remotely close to the truth.”

Ed smirks. “I don’t know. I kinda think that one rumor going around about her being abducted by aliens and returned without a soul may be onto something. You ever watch her when she’s just sitting at her desk? She taps her ring finger on the wood. Over and over and over again.
