Chapter Five

Austin doesn’t call me or text me at all that night.

I get like zero studying done, because I keep replaying our fight over and over in my mind. By the next morning, I’m a total mess, wondering what’s going to happen when I see him at school that day.

Even though we don’t have gym today, we do have study hall. Austin and I usually sit together in the caf and work on our homework together, or just talk and goof around. Usually we sit with a bunch of people, his friends from the team or various other people who come and go.

I get to study hall first. And when Austin comes in, he doesn’t come sit with me.

Instead, he goes and sits with a few kids I don’t even recognize. I spend the entire period sitting there alone, trying to study. And doing everything I can to not look at him.

The worst part is that Austin seems to be completely and totally fine. I can’t help but sneak a peek at him and see him talking and laughing with his guy friends like there’s absolutely nothing wrong.

I swear, boys go to some kind of class or something to learn how to act like they don’t care about anyone but themselves. I mean, I definitely care about what happened.

How could I not? It was our first fight ever.

But it doesn’t seem like Austin cares, because I don’t hear from him for the rest of the day, or again that night. No call, no text, no anything.

“What’s wrong?” Karli asks me the next morning on our way to school.

We take turns carpooling. Sometimes I pick her and Alexa up, and sometimes they pick me up.

I sigh and dig through my book bag for my Spanish book. I need to get all the studying in that I possibly can. “I’m in so much trouble with our test,” I tell her. “It’s like no matter how much I look at the information I can’t remember it.”

“Do you think it’s that you just don’t understand it?” Karli asks. “Or do you think it’s everything going on with Austin?”

My heart hurts at the mention of his name.

“You still haven’t heard from him?” Alexa asks me.

I shake my head. “Nope.”

Karli turns around from the front seat to look at me. “That is honestly fucked up.

It’s been, like, over a day. If I were you I’d go right up to him in school and call him out on it.”

“I wanted to say something to him yesterday in study hall but he was with all his friends. I didn’t want to cause a scene or anything.”

Karli rolls her eyes. “Why the hell not? I love causing scenes. It’s the best way to get your point across.”

“No,” Alexa says as she turns into the Starbucks parking lot, “that’s exactly why you’re always in trouble. And exactly why you don’t have any real friends.”

“Hey!” Karli exclaims, shooting her sister a dirty look. “I have real friends.”

Alexa pulls into a spot toward the back of the lot and quickly swings her door open.
