Chapter Sixteen

Lies are easy

Against all the odds, the first month of the final year of high school was in fact easy. Drake kept his word and she never saw him go near Sean again. Whenever he entered a room and he caught sight of them, he would often turn the other way or show someone else more interest.

If anyone even pointed in their direction, Drake would always look as if they were beneath him. Pru didn’t mind. She found the peace and quiet somewhat refreshing. Sean, though, didn’t like it. In fact, her very best friend seemed to believe that he had in some way scared Drake.

“I tell you, if he comes near me again, I’m going to fucking have him.”

Pru held her pencil over her paper and glanced over at him. “What?”

“You heard me. I bet he’s afraid of me.”

“No, I doubt that’s it.”

She hadn’t spent all that much time with Sean in the past couple of weeks. With Drake sneaking around her place every single chance he got, she had been making every single excuse she could think of to be with him. When they were together, she forgot about everything.

There were no cares in the world.

Just each other.

It was refreshing for her to just feel rather than have to think about every little detail of her life. For Drake, she didn’t know what he felt. He smiled a lot more and on the whole, he did seem happier.

The days in high school were always the longest, and Sean made her nervous. There was no way she could expect Drake not to retaliate if Sean decided to start a fight. She wished she knew what had gotten into Sean for him to change.

“You don’t think I could take him?” Sean asked.

It took every single ounce of composure not to respond to his claim. None of this made any sense. Why was he suddenly so intent on taking Drake on?

“You really don’t, do you?”

“Sean, please, I have no idea what’s going on,” she said. She licked her suddenly dry lips and wished she knew what to say to calm him down. “Why do you feel the need to fight him? If Drake’s leaving you alone, then I don’t see a reason to get into any conflict at all.”

“You don’t?”

“No. It seems kind of pointless.” She tried not to wince.

Sean kept on staring at her. She quickly glanced down at her book and hoped against hope he wasn’t reading too much into this.

“Pointless?” Sean slapped his hand on the table, making her jump.

Looking around, she saw a couple of other people staring at him.

“Sean, really.”

“You know, I don’t get it. I spent most of our school years together watching the two of you fight it out. I’ve had no choice but to put up with it and now that I’m doing something about it, you’re not happy.”

“It’s not that I’m not happy about it, I just don’t see why you should have to risk hurting yourself for no good reason.” She reached out, taking his hand.
