Chapter 8

The next morning, Brynn couldn’t make herself get out of bed. She remained burrowed beneath the covers well past noon, then ventured out only long enough to pee and grab her book before rushing back to the safety of her warm cocoon.

Monday, she skipped school, complaining of a migraine headache.

Tuesday, she repeated the lie.

Wednesday, when her dad threatened to call the doctor, she crawled from bed to shower and dress for school.

She did get sick then, and twice more before fourth period.

Bile rose in her throat when she entered Mr. Strickland’s classroom as the final bell rang. Her pulse throbbed in her ears with a nauseating thud.

Though Kyle wasn’t at his desk when she slid into her seat, Brynn was about to dash to the restroom once more when Samantha Whitaker nudged her arm.

A grimace contorted the pretty brunette’s fine features when she held out a folded piece of notebook paper.

Warily, Brynn accepted the note and unfurled the edges.

Kyle won’t be here. He thought it’d be best if he changed his class schedule around.

Brynn stared down at the untidy handwriting, slowly absorbing the information. Her head snapped up, but Sam’s attention remained fixed on Mr. Strickland at the front of the classroom.

Just then, Aiden leaned forward in his seat. Warm brown eyes raked over Brynn .

Her mind raced, trying to piece it all together. With her pencil, she scribbled a reply below his messy script. You did this?

She refolded the note and handed it back to Sam, who grudgingly passed it on to Aiden.

Brynn watched him read, then scrawl a response with his left hand.

She snatched the paper from Sam and fumbled to open it.

Yes.

One word.

Brynn pressed the note to her chest.

One word that meant everything.

Sudden tears brimmed in her eyes, and she scratched her reply. Thank you.

Sam glared daggers at her when Brynn passed her the note, and again when Aiden returned it.

You’re welcome.

A moment later, a grumble of annoyance from Sam announced the arrival of a fresh note.

How pissed do you think we can make her?

Unbelievably, Brynn smiled, though she quickly concealed the wide grin behind her hand. She’s pretty pissed now.

Indeed.
