Chapter 20

I woke up to a knock on my door early the next morning.

“Maby? Are you up? Wake up!”

“I’m up, I’m up.” I groaned as I threw a pillow at the door. “What do you want, Fi?”

“I want details!” She knocked even harder.

I couldn’t help but laugh at her enthusiasm. As I pushed myself out of bed, I realized that my smile lingered. It was a rare thing for me to feel so cheerful in the morning. Maybe Oliver being around wasn’t such a bad thing.

When I opened the door, Fifi practically tumbled inside.

“I know you went off campus last night.” She grinned at me as she settled on the end of the bed. “You have to tell me everything.”

“There’s not much to tell.” I shrugged. “We just went to dinner.”

“Liar.” She threw a pillow at me. “Oh, you’re holding back on me! Why?”

“I just can’t.” I began to pace through the room. My hands knotted together as I attempted to settle the emotions that raced through me.

“You’re not happy?” Fi stood up from the bed and walked over to me. “Did he do something to hurt you?”

“No, not at all.” I took a deep breath, then sighed. “This just wasn’t part of my plan.”

“It never is.” Fifi frowned as she studied me. “I know that out of all of us, you’re the most determined to make it to college without any distractions, but life doesn’t work that way, Maby. Sometimes the right person comes along at the wrong time and you have to decide what’s more important, your plans or your heart.”

“I just feel like it’s all crazy.” I turned to face her. “The more I try to control it, the less in control I feel.”

“So, don’t try to control it. Be honest with yourself. What will you regret more, being with him and seeing where things go or denying your feelings and missing your chance to find out?”

“You don’t have to be so logical about it.” I frowned. “That’s supposed to be my job.”

“That’s my point, though. Logic isn’t even a factor here. You can’t count on it to get you through this. You have to really dig deep and figure out what it is that you want.” She shrugged. “You don’t have to choose Oliver, but you have to be honest with yourself.”

“Easier said than done, I think.” I blew air from between my lips and placed my hands on my hips. “I’m used to things being pretty simple.”

“Unfortunately, there’s nothing simple about this.” She shook her head. “Make sure you get some breakfast. Being in love on an empty stomach can be very nauseating.”

I held my breath as she left my room. Was that what I was experiencing? Being in love? Sure, there was no question that I was attracted to him, that I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him, but did that mean that I was in love?

I went through the motions of getting ready for school and managed to eat half a bagel.
