Chapter 10

The first day of school arrived and I was in one piece again. I tried remembering what it had felt like at the end of last school year, or even what I’d been thinking by signing up for some of my classes. I had beginner French second block, and no Spanish. Spanish was my strongest subject, yet somehow I’d decided to drop it? I glanced around the cafeteria, which at this time of day was nearly empty.

“Hey, how’s it going?” Micah asked, sliding into the chair beside me. It was the first time I’d seen him since the movies and he was acting as if everything were normal. Well, I could do that. Normal wasn’t too hard.

“Is it too weird to say I’m glad to be back?”

“Yeah, it is.” Bianca laughed as she came up behind Micah.

She sat across from us and within minutes my once quiet table was full of people. I rubbed my hands together under the table as everyone’s stress and anxiety brought the heat to life. I thought I’d been hiding it well, until Owen gave me a curious look.

“What’s wrong, Lily?” he asked. Everyone turned to look at me and I flushed at the attention.

“Nothing.”

“Liar,” Phoebe said, and I wished that just for once she had kept her mouth shut. “Does this have to do with Dylan?”

“What is it, Lils?” Micah asked and the others echoed his question, until their worry grew so much that what had been a mild discomfort in my hands was now a fire spreading up my arms.

“Stop it!” I snapped. Their voices cut off mid questions and they all watched me warily. Did they think I was going to snap under the pressure of being back here? They weren’t going to let this go. My shoulders drooped and I said, “I’m fine.”

I kept my eyes on Phoebe, knowing I’d have to do a sneak attack on her. Under the table, I pressed my leg against Micah’s. Nothing transferred. Well, then he was going to have to deal with his own worry. Nathan was just as easy as Micah was. He was more laid back about school than Karin or even Bianca. A simple nudge of my foot against his under the table was enough, and Bianca had no clue anything was even happening when I mentioned her tag was sticking up and pressed my fingers to the back of her neck.

Karin was on my other side and, too bad for me, she was a complete mess of nerves. It flowed into me and I sucked in a breath. Luckily, it left as quickly as it came. Phoebe’s eyes widened and she pushed back her chair, but I had anticipated her move, and jumped up from my seat while reaching across the table for her. I managed to snag the hand she was using to lever herself up from her seat.

“Damn it, Lils. I’m going to kill you,” she said without any anger, just an awareness that she would feel it later.
