Chapter 8

The next morning I felt hazy when my alarm went off, despite the fact that I had gone to bed at a decent hour the night before. I really hadn’t gotten home that late, although getting to sleep took longer than usual for me since I couldn’t shut off my thoughts. I took a quick shower, threw on some leggings and a short sleeved sweater dress, and tied my hair into a loose chignon. As I walked into the kitchen to grab a banana for breakfast, I noticed an envelope on the table. Day 3 was written on the outside of the envelope. How did this get inside my apartment? I looked around the dimly lit room, suddenly feeling a little freaked out by the thought that someone could have been in my apartment without me knowing. The only rational thought I could formulate was that Griffin must have thrown it on my kitchen table yesterday when I went to grab my swimsuit.

I tore open the envelope. Inside was a note with a ticket attached to it, which read Admit One, County Fair. I read the note. Day Three: It’s not bungee jumping if you’re in a metal cart. See you at 6:00 p.m. - G. The county fair? I’m pretty sure I went to those when I was younger, I must have. Corn dogs, funnel cakes, and of course teenagers puking in trash cans either from alcohol or upside down roller coasters.

As usual, Mallory was already at the bakery when I arrived. “So, the fair tonight,” she said excitedly as we began to work.

“So you do know about the messages I get?” I remarked, looking for more information.

“Honestly, not really. I just knew we were all going tonight, so I guess I knew about that part,” she said, clasping her hands together. “So, what’s going on with you guys? It’s not getting weird or anything, is it?”

Well, a moment ago I was excited to be spending another night with Griffin. I hated that my mood changed when I found out we wouldn’t be alone.

“Oh no, we’re just friends. Obviously,” I said, sounding a bit too cavalier. “I mean, it’s not like these are dates or anything. He’s just showing me around, taking me new places. It’ll be even more fun tonight with the whole group,” I sputtered, trying to sound more convincing.

“Then where were you last night?” Mallory asked, insinuating I had a juicy story for her.

“He took me to the hot springs up in Loganville. It was really nice. We only spent a few hours together. Like, three hours to be exact, so it’s not like it was some drawn out thing, Mal,” I said, trying to quell her thoughts about why these adventures weren’t what she thought they were. “He’s really nice, as you know, and we’re just hanging out. It’s no big deal.”

“Hey, I’m just saying this is a little unusual, that’s all. Griffin doesn’t just ‘hang out’ really, not alone with people. Lately Steve can barely even get him to do anything.
