Chapter 12

I sit in my history class, tapping my pen against the old wooden desk, very impatiently waiting for the bell to ring so I can get some food in my stomach. I get a vision of the Britney Spears video clip for ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time,’ and have to giggle. I could totally pull that look off right now. Though, from memory, in the video, the bell was just about to ring. In my case, I’ve only been sitting here for about three minutes and still have a whole history lesson to suffer through.

Gosh, I hate history. In one ear and out the other. It simply doesn’t hold my attention, not the way that science does. Ok, you got me. I’m a secret nerd, but no one needs to know. It’s not like anyone from Haven Falls ends up in college anyway.

Well, dad likes to think that I will, but the truth of the matter is we couldn’t afford it if I was to get in anyway. I’m just going to have to make something of myself after high school with what I already know.

Dad left again this morning and I really wanted to be upset about it, but I couldn’t as it means I can spend more time with Tully and Noah. I usually hate when dad leaves. Well, mostly anyway. It’s never nice watching a parent walk out the door. I should know, I watched mom go and never come back. The thought that something could happen to dad out on those roads terrifies me, but he’s a great truck driver. He’s been doing this for years and knows exactly what his truck is capable of… but freak accidents happen. That’s why they’re called ‘freak accidents.’

He’ll be fine. He always is. It’s just our routine now. He goes and I worry while trying not to. I guess that’s just part of being a daughter who’s generally all alone. No thanks to Kaylah. She was supposed to be my support system whenever dad would leave, but then she left too.

Everyone leaves me.

It’s the curse of Henley Bronx. Forever alone.

Another minute ticks by and I stop tapping my pen against the table when Mr. Garrison’s irritated gaze flicks my way.

My phone buzzes in my pocket and I slide it out of my jeans, thankful for the distraction.

I peek down at it and a smile instantly spread across my face when I see his name. I open the text and the smile fades as confusion takes over.

Noah – Get that sexy ass of yours down to the old football field.

I stare at the message, reading it over and over again. What does he mean? It’s the middle of class. Did he maybe send that earlier and it’s only coming through now? Class hasn’t been in for long, so it’s possible. But then, it’s also possible he wants to get me out of class to spend time with me. After all, the guy did ask me out on a date.
