Chapter Seven

Kayla

I found Milo Kowalski sitting alone at a table in the far corner of the cafeteria. He raised his eyebrows when I sat down.

“You know you’re committing social suicide by sitting here,” he remarked with a small smile.

I shrugged. “I think I already did that when I went psycho in the hallway the other day.”

Milo’s eyes lit up. “That was seriously the coolest thing that has ever happened in this school.”

I smiled, glad that at least one person didn’t think I was out of my mind. I glanced around the cafeteria, noticing several people staring or pointing at us and laughing. I didn’t care. I had felt a lot better ever since I told my mom about Wyatt, but I had also reached a point where I was done with it all. Done with the drama and the politics and the cruelty... done with high school, really. I was tempted to drop out and just go test for my GED. I could probably even do a year or two of community college before I applied for a larger university.

“So that’s crazy about Frog, right?” Milo asked, taking a bite of his nondescript sandwich.

I nodded, glad that he had been the first to bring it up. “Yeah, it’s like he just disappeared.”

Milo furrowed his eyebrows. “Wait, you’ve heard from him, haven’t you?”

I straightened in my chair. “No. Have you?”

Milo looked surprised. “Really? I would have thought you would be the first person he would get in contact with.”

I was starting to get agitated. “Well, he hasn’t. Have you heard from him?”

“Yeah, he texted me a couple days ago.”

Milo took another bite of his sandwich and I almost wanted to throttle him.

“What did he say?” I asked with a hint of desperation.

“Oh, he said he had to move to Gulbrania.”

“Gulbrania?”

“Yeah. His mom’s work transferred her there.”

I blew out a breath. Gulbrania. That’s right. Frog said he had been born there. “Did he say anything else?”

“He said he’d lost his phone and had just gotten it back.”

“Okay.” This information made me relieved and frustrated at the same time. He wasn’t dead, he had just moved to a country far away. He’d been without his phone all this time, but now he had it back, so why hadn’t he responded to me? Maybe he’d been freaked out by all the messages I had left.

“I still can’t believe he hasn’t texted you or anything,” Milo said, shaking his head.

Before I could respond, I heard someone come up behind me. I turned around and saw a guy from the football team holding a tray piled high with green Jell-O.

“Are you losers ready for dessert?” He asked, smiling mischievously.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Milo bracing for the inevitable, but I wasn’t about to lie down and take this. Years of playing volleyball had helped me develop great reflexes and a sense of defense. I snatched the tray and brought it down to the table, then grabbed the front of the guy’s shirt and pulled down, forcing his face into the tray of Jell-O.
