Chapter Four

How was I going to do this?

How was I going to act around Adam after discovering my—I didn’t even want to say it—feelings for him?

Apparently, my subconscious was wondering the same thing. I woke up at 5 A.M. on Saturday morning, pulled my Egyptian cotton covers over my head again, and tried to go back to sleep. It didn’t work. Since I had no choice in the matter, I got up and prepared for battle, choosing the cutest outfit in my arsenal.

Cory almost had a coronary when she walked into the Student Council Office, her heels clacking against the floor, and found me sitting on the conference table. It wasn’t even 10 A.M. yet, but I already had my planner open in front of me, pen in hand and poised to take notes.

“Good morning, Cory,” I said brightly.

“Good morning, Alex.” Cory chewed on her glossy lower lip. Her eyes were glued to the Starbucks cup next to my planner, and I could almost imagine a thought bubble broadcasting her thoughts above her head. She’s actually early and she didn’t buy coffee for the rest of us? What in the name of all that is holy is going on?

Adam’s reaction was only a bit more subdued. He stopped in the doorway when he caught sight of me and stopped dead in his tracks. “Who are you and what have you done to Alex dela Cruz?”

“Very funny,” I scoffed, pretending that my heart wasn’t galloping like a prized horse at a derby at the sight of his wet hair and freshly scrubbed face. He took the seat at the head of the table, the one next to mine. I decided right then and there that I liked Adam and his bar soap scent better than boys who drowned themselves in perfume.

Speaking of boys who were way too attached to their bottles of Hugo Boss, Stephen walked into the room next, surprisingly without an entourage of girls trailing behind him this time. Before he made his way to his seat on the other end of the table, he stopped behind me, his hand clutching the back of my chair. “Can you stay after the meeting, Alex? I have to talk to you about something.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Adam straighten and glance at us. I wanted to see the familiar furrow that appeared between his brows whenever he was annoyed, but his expression didn’t change.

“Sure,” I said, unable to hide the disappointment lacing my voice. I attempted a smile, but a grimace appeared instead. “Talk to you later.”

“Cool.”

If there was an award for acting like the girls in movies who suffered from a bad case of unrequited love, I would’ve won it. No contest. The way Cory and the freshman representative hung on to every numerical figure that came out of Stephen’s mouth during the meeting could not hold a candle to how I acted.

I was in pure, utter agony. My chair morphed into a hotbed of torture until I couldn’t stop fidgeting in it.
