HARLEY SAT IN HER SECOND class, trying to focus on the instructor but failing miserably. She hadn’t heard from Spencer in two days. It had been forty-eight long hours since he had told her to go home, since she’d stood in his doorway, dumbfounded at his reaction to her.

In those two days, she picked up as many extra hours at both of her jobs as possible, just to keep herself busy. Between school and working, she didn’t have an extra second to cry or mope.

Class was over. She gathered her things up and moved to the next lecture. Again, she tried to focus, but her brain was only concerned about Spencer. Her heart hurt; she missed him.

He still wasn’t answering her calls or texts. She wished she knew what she had done to make him so upset.

Was she too harsh on him for acting like a caveman and punching Isaac? Maybe she could’ve shown him a little more support for being a protective boyfriend. But then again, she thought he knew her well enough to know she didn’t need to be protected. Even from Isaac.

In a trance for the remainder of the day, she went through the motions during her shift at the diner, and eventually joined her study group at the coffee shop. She listened more than she contributed. She doodled in her notebook, making a list of all the things that could possibly be going on with Spencer. But none of them made any sense.

The more she overthought it, the more possible it seemed that she was the problem.

She jumped at the sound of a phone buzz nearby, and she lunged for hers, only to see there were no new texts. Every two minutes she re-checked, hoping there would be something from Spencer.

Looking past her classmates, she could hear the group discussing the quiz next week, but in her fog, all she could do was nod in response. She’d have to copy notes from one of them. Even though she’d probably ace the quiz without them.

“Harley,” Heather said, snapping her out of her trance. Heather was one of Harley’s classmates, and had blue hair, a lip ring, and was the prettiest girl in the class. “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, Harley. You aren’t yourself,” another one commented.

“Yeah, fine. Just have some things on my mind,” she responded.

But she wasn’t fine. She hadn’t been since that night. The details were fresh in her mind: she had been expecting Spencer at her place the other night and he had never showed. She had gone to look for him, only to find him home and passed out on his couch. And mad at her.

Which brought her to today, with no more information than she had the other night.

Her heart sank at the thought of him. She had thought things were going too perfectly with her and Spencer— but what had happened?

As the study group stood up to leave, Harley sat back and closed her notebook in a daze.

Heather hung back as the others walked out.
