CHAPTER 18

Mei: In the fortuitous words in the song Unsent by Alanis Morissette, “Dear Marcus, you rocked my world.”

Marcus: That’s all great what I did to your world, but you blasted me to a whole new one.

When my alarm goes off, I slap it quiet and roll over. My ribs don’t appreciate it, so I unwind the warm ice pack around my torso and ease back onto my pillow. No way am I going to school today. Forget my ribs—don’t want anyone to see my black eye. There’s only one person I plan on seeing today. And every day from now on.

I close my eyes, replaying how the hair on the back of my neck stood up when Mei touched me last night. How my blood pumped so hard, my veins feel stretched out and floppy. I have so many questions. And so many feelings. I plan on asking her all the questions and showing her exactly how I feel. Show and Tell with Marcus and Mei. And that’ll definitely involve kissing her again. A lot. Like…maybe all day. While keeping my hands to myself. Which just became a whole lot harder.

I snatch my phone from my nightstand and grimace at the painful reminder of the pounding I took last night. I’d expected brass knuckles. Nun chucks. Sabers. It wasn’t Ugly Chao who’d trashed me, but felt like a message directly from him.

My thoughts circle over each other, trying to figure out what his deal is with Mei. Why does he care so much? Mei seems to be freaked out over the guy, should I be just as freaked?

When I check my phone, there’s a Mei text, sent at 2:48 AM.

Mei: How are you feeling?
