Chapter 25

McKayla

I sat in History class and strained to remember the answer to one of the test questions. I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turned around and saw Justin smile and wave. I glanced at him. Who did he think he was, distracting me with his boyish charm while I tried to take my test? He must have finished already. The guy was too smart for his own good.

“One more minute,” the teacher announced.

I forced myself to stop thinking of Justin. I had to focus. I quickly guessed at the last couple of questions right before the teacher said class was over.

“That was so easy,” Justin said in a confident voice.

Of course it would be easy for Justin. He was such a history buff.

He cocked an eyebrow. “Don’t you think, McKayla?” The look on his face let me know that he seemed sure that I would agree with him.

Normally I would, but lately I’d spent all my time thinking about how Justin was “in love” with me, and I didn’t have much time to study. Although that was the case, Justin didn’t need to know.

I put on a confident smile, shrugged, and lied, “Yeah, piece of cake.”

We turned in our tests and walked into the hall.

Justin said, “So, about the note I sent you⁠⁠—”

I was dying to know what he was going to say next, but he was interrupted by a shrieking girl. We turned and saw Ivy walking in our direction.

She stepped right up to Justin and wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight embrace. “Just-in!” she said in a preppy voice. “I missed you. We have to catch up.”

Justin looked annoyed. “Really? I thought you hated my guts.”

Ivy snuggled up to him. “I could never stay away from you for long. Asher’s great and all, but he’s not you.”

Justin smiled and returned her embrace.

I couldn’t believe that just happened. There was no way he loved me. If he did, he wouldn’t be flirting with Ivy right now.

It was kind of awkward for me to be standing there watching them, so I stalked off toward the lunchroom.

As I walked, I realized that I didn’t have money to buy lunch. Daydreaming about Justin had left me an empty-headed mess. I guess I’d have to tough it out and be hungry for the day.

I didn’t want to have to face Justin, so I slid into the nearest restroom. I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection. I looked like I was ready to rip someone’s head off. The memory of Ivy hugging Justin so intimately haunted my mind. I decided to get over him. He wasn’t worth my time. He never loved me. I knew better than to trust love. How could he? Justin didn’t even know me. It was all a lie.

My eyes started to tear up, and I told myself I wouldn’t cry. I’d seen my mom cry plenty of times, and I didn’t ever want to cry over Justin. He didn’t deserve to have that kind of power over me.
