Chapter Fourteen

I was still reeling from the terrible episode with Booth when we exited the main building to find Keeya and Luci waiting for us. They were perched on the steps, sitting close together with their hands entwined.

If I hadn’t been so spun up, I might have thought it was cute.

“You guys are not going to believe what just happened!” Zoe exclaimed as she released me and went rushing down the steps towards them.

Keeya and Luci turned, looking startled by our sudden appearance.

“Booth! Booth happened!” Zoe gasped in excitement before either of the girls could even open their mouths to speak. “He walked right into us and spoke to Bri and he...and he…”

“Okay girl, okay, calm down and breathe,” Keeya said, gripping hold of Zoe’s forearm to comfort her.

Zoe stopped bouncing and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before opening them again.

“Booth spoke to us, and I swear he couldn’t take his eyes off Bri.” She giggled.

“Couldn’t take his eyes off her as in, ‘wow you are a freak!’, or, “my goddess, you are drop-dead gorgeous’?” Keeya asked, winking at me as though she already thought it was the second option.

“The...the second one.” Zoe gasped as though she could barely get her breath.

“Oh, my Goddess!” Luci spilt with excitement. “This is huge.”

I’d been hearing that a lot lately. Maybe if Booth didn’t make me feel hot all over, I wouldn’t have agreed.

As it was, I couldn’t help but think that she was right. Booth didn’t seem like the kind of guy who noticed just any old stranger. He seemed like the kind of guy who only acknowledged you if you were a somebody. Maybe I was just judging him because of the fact he’d been sat with Lola’s evil witch twin at breakfast.

“Well?” Keeya scowled at me as both she and Luci turned their eyes on me. “Don’t just stand there. Tell us what happened!”

Urgh. I did not want to tell them that I’d just stood there like a blubbering idiot but at least what had happened seemed to have taken Zoe’s mind off my meeting with Celestria. Maybe I would get away without that dreaded conversation after all.

“We met him outside Celestria’s office, and he introduced himself and told us that he was doing some stuff for her. Then Zoe practically dragged me out of there like her ass was on fire.”

“Don’t forget the part where he said ‘catch you later’!” Zoe insisted, and both of the other girls’ eyes grew wide again.

“He really said that?” Keeya gaped at me. “He actually said, ‘catch you later’?”

They were acting like he had asked me to go out with him or something. Even that wouldn’t be any need for them to look as though their eyes were going to pop right out of their heads. They looked just like Zoe had when I’d told her what Celestria had said. I could only wonder how they’d react to that.

I knew now wasn’t the time because they would probably explode. Way, way more than they were already.
