Chapter Nine

Just as I’d suspected, my drama club friends opted to eat lunch in the drama room again, although nobody bothered to tell me. Why did I get the feeling they had followed Ethan so he wouldn’t have to watch me eat lunch with Frankie? Oh, because I’m a telepath. That’s right.

Even though I had kind of made myself a promise to respect other people’s privacy and stay out of their heads, I just couldn’t help myself. When I walked into the drama room, Ethan, Finn, and a few others were already there working on set design. Finn’s jaw dropped when he saw me, and he quickly looked over my shoulder. Curiosity got the best of me, and I popped into his head for a moment. What I found there shocked me.

I hope she didn’t bring Frankie. Ethan will have to find a new hiding spot.

My heart sank to my gut, and I froze, my gaze darting from Finn to Ethan. Ethan was standing beside a work table wearing a carpenter’s belt around his waist. Though his jeans weren’t tight, they hugged him in just the right places. My gaze swept his body, and for the first time I noticed his long, lean physique, with a hint of muscles stretching his tight T-shirt. He stopped hammering a nail long enough to look at me, his bright blue turning dark and brooding.

Ethan answered with a nod before averting his gaze. “Do whatever you want. You can finish painting the set.” He nodded toward the paint cans stacked along a table against the wall.

“Okay.” I shrugged my bag off my shoulder and reached inside for the sandwich and water bottle I’d packed that morning.

Yeah, I’d already formulated a plan to get Ethan to talk to me. Or at the very least to show Ethan I wasn’t interested in Frankie. It was a mean thing to do to Frankie, I know. I’d sent him a text five minutes ago that I wouldn’t make it to lunch and then I’d powered down my phone. I didn’t want any more disruptions while I tried to work things out with Ethan.

I only hoped Frankie wouldn’t be too mad at me, even though I shouldn’t have cared what he thought. I was still pissed about the traffic ticket incident. Then again, he’d seemed so upset yesterday, and I’d told him we could talk at lunch. Instead, I’d avoided him to spend time with Ethan. I couldn’t help but feel guilty, although I guess it didn’t matter, because if I’d chosen to eat with Frankie instead, I’d probably be feeling guilty about leaving Ethan.

Besides, Frankie said he had something important to tell me. Whatever it was, I didn’t want to know. I feared he’d try to
