The first half of the school day drags by, not helped by the gloomy weather outside. Even though Wren and I stopped at Spookies for a caffeine fix, we still made it in time for first period. From the classroom windows, I watch the low clouds drift overhead and worry about Theo.

I think back to last year, after Sienna went and outed Theo to his parents, and we could only see each other at school. Even if that happens again, they can’t keep us away from one another. We’d find a way to make it work.

By lunch time, the anticipation of seeing him has grown to the point that I can’t sit still as I scan the cafeteria for a head of familiar dark curls.

“Caleb, you’re about to shake my lunch onto the floor.” Freddy shoots me an annoyed look from across the table.

“Sorry.” I press a fist into my thigh to keep my leg from bouncing.

“Did you guys have fun on your little ghost adventure?”

Wren slides into the seat next to me, and I’m thankful they’re here to field Freddy’s questions while I search for Theo.

“There were fun moments,” Wren says, unzipping their lunch bag. “And some that were not so fun.”

Harrison and Elise arrive next to the lunch table, already engrossed in a conversation of their own.

“Don’t you think it’s strange that we’ve never seen them in the same place? It’s weird, that’s all I’m saying.” Elise gives me a smile as she sits next to Freddy.

“There’s plenty of people that we’ve never seen in the same place. That doesn’t mean that they're leading some secret double life.” Harrison pops open a can of soda with a hiss.

“What are you two going on about?” Freddy asks, getting pulled into the discussion.

“Elise thinks that Principal Miller is moonlighting as the new janitor.”

“They look the same!” Elise argues, her volume shooting up.

“Wait, are you talking about the janitor with the ponytail down to his butt?” Wren asks.

Elise nods emphatically, and even though I’m still on high alert for Theo, I can’t help but be pulled into this ridiculous conversation. “But Principal Miller is bald.”

Harrison points in my direction. “Thank you.”

“He could be wearing a wig, obviously,” Elise rebuts, crossing her arms. “It’s not impossible. That’s all I’m saying.”

“You can’t argue with that,” Wren concludes, unwrapping their sandwich. “Stranger things have happened.”

“Are we talking about Stranger Things?” Oliver pipes up, sliding into the seat at the end of the table. “Because I’ve got a theory about how they’re going to keep putting off the last season till everyone just forgets about it.”

“I wouldn’t doubt it,” Harrison says, leaning closer to Oliver. “I keep seeing this stuff online about how they’re filming the finale…”

“Psst.”

Freddy tosses a baby carrot at me. It bounces off my chest and lands on top of my salad.

“You two haven’t asked me about my weekend yet.”

Wren and I both lean forward over the table. “Sorry,” I apologize, tearing my attention away from the search for Theo. “How did things go with Andrew?”

Freddy grins, his tanned cheeks turning ruddy.
