His beautiful face had turned to stone as he stared down at me. “Would you please stop doing that?”

“No. I have to get to fourth hour, and since it’s English, I can’t afford to lose any points for being late.”

He pulled me closer, so close my toes touched his. “You don’t get it, do you?”

“Get what? You are so frustrating.” I wanted to push him out of my personal space, but at the same time, I wanted to hold him there and never let him go.

“I’m frustrating? For weeks, I’ve been trying to decide if I should ask you out or not, and every time I work up the nerve, you push me away again. I’m about ready to give up, but I figured I’d try one more tactic. So instead of letting you push me away, I’m pulling you closer.” He tugged on me again for emphasis, and my nose nearly bumped his chin.

I struggled to respond. “Like… a date?”

“Yes. A date. And not some party. I’d like to take you to dinner and a movie.”

The one-minute warning bell rang, and if I didn’t hurry, I’d definitely be late for English. “All right, um, I have to go.” I released his hand and stepped back.

He hiked his backpack up on his shoulder. “Yeah, sure.”

For the first time in weeks, hope bloomed in my chest. I knew I should steer as far away from him as possible. Grey Daniels was way more dangerous to me than Brody ever was. Grey ruined every plan I had to punish myself. He made me smile when I had no right to be happy. And yet I couldn’t force myself to walk away from him. “Meet me after school?”

“Okay.” He shrugged, and I hurried off to English, making it through the door just before the tardy bell rang.

The promise of getting to see his drawings had me determined to turn my grades around.
