Chapter Fifteen

I can barely sleep all night and by the time 8 a.m. rolls around I give up trying. I find Grant’s number and grab my cell off my dresser. Despite the fact that I’m supposed to despise him, the thought of talking to him again makes my stomach clench with nerves and excitement. “You hate him,” I say out loud, “don’t forget.” I look at the phone. My heart jumps an extra beat. I dial his number, then hang up, five times. I contemplate forgetting he was ever here and not calling him, but I believed him when he said he would just come back if I didn’t call. I hit send.

He answers after two rings. He must have call display because he doesn’t even bother with hello, he just says, “Sydney.”

“Hi.” I hold the phone tightly against my ear and ignore the fact that my hands are shaking.

“I’m glad you called.” He waits for me to respond, but I stay silent. I hear him sigh on the other end of the line, and then he says, “Can we meet?”

I squirm. “Can’t we just do this over the phone?”

“I’d rather not.”

I sigh. “Fine. Where?”

“I could come to your house.”

I laugh. “No freaking way.” It’s not just my parents I don’t want to expose him to; it’s the rest of my family. What Angelina would do upon seeing him. Hell, Ava would probably be a nightmare too. When she got home last night, she didn’t have a clue what had happened. Her friend Mike, whose house she was at, doesn’t have a television. But by the time Dad finished explaining, her eyes were flashing deviously. For a second I swear I thought I saw her pupils morph into little dolphin shapes.

“Where else then?” he asks.

I pause and think for a moment. We need to go somewhere we won’t be spotted. Somewhere I won’t run into anyone from school. “The downtown library. They open at nine-thirty. I’ll meet you in the science fiction section.”

“You’re serious?” I hear laughter in his voice and imagine his full lips turned into a slight smile.

“Goodbye Grant.” I hang up the phone before I can start imagining anything else.

I spend the next half hour getting ready. Luckily my family is rife with over sleepers and no one gets up to bother me. I take a shower, get dressed, and eat some breakfast.

I grab my keys and purse, slide my feet into a pair of flats, and snatch a light jacket from the closet. I yank open the front door and freeze. “Holy crap,” I swallow. “Holy freaking crap.” A blast of sound fills my ears and I gape at the front lawn, or where the front lawn should be. You can’t really see it now, what with all the people standing on it.

“There she is!” someone screams out.

Suddenly there’s a mad rush as at least a hundred people swivel in my direction, whip out cameras, and begin taking pictures. Flashes go off everywhere.

I stagger back into the house, my body shaking and a thin sheen of sweat covering my forehead.
