The next day Zenn still isn’t at school and I don’t bother waiting. I head for the bus but I’m barely out the door when Charlotte calls to me again.

Today her collarbones are covered by a T-shirt with garden gnomes on it and Chillin’ with my Gnomies underneath. It’s one of my favorites. I smile a little.

Better. Much better.

“Hey, Ev. You want a ride?” she asks. Something in her voice challenges me to say no again. Her chin is high, and she looks a little … angry.

Why is she angry at me? I’m not the one who started dating a popular jock. I’m not the one who abandoned her for a new group of friends.

“Or is it so nice out that you want to walk?” Okay, I’m not imagining it. There is definitely some anger there.

I look down at my boots and wonder for the first time how much of the distance between us has been her, and how much has been me.

I hesitate. “I guess. If you don’t mind.”

“I wouldn’t have asked if I minded.”

There is a pause and then I say, “Yes, you would have.”

“Yeah. I probably would have.”

We walk away from the buses toward her car.
