“I’m a bitch.”

“You are not a bitch,” Becky says. After whatever that was with Luke I couldn’t go to homeroom. So instead, I’m hiding in a bathroom stall. Becky cut homeroom when I called. That’s a friend. They’re there for you even when they shouldn’t be.

“Yes, I am. I’m dragging him along just like he said. I know this can’t go anywhere.”

“And why can’t it?”

“You know why.”

“Hals, Brady will always be a part of your life. Does that mean you can never be with a guy? No, it just means you have to find the right one. And how will you find him unless you start letting people in?”

Whenever I’m unsure about anything Becky is there for me. She has proven herself time and time again. I can lean on her for everything and she always knows just the right thing to say.

“You’re right. I have to find Luke.”

“You’re going to tell him about Brady?”

“Well no, but I’m going to give him the chance he deserves.”

“You better call me and let me know every detail. I’m vicariously living through you since my life is so boring and drama free.”

“There’s nothing wrong with drama free.”

“Easy to say when you’re surrounded with it. Okay, call me.”

“I will.” I hang up determined more than ever to make things right with Luke. I’ve been guarded for so long that I’m ruining any chances of being happy. Sometimes you have to make exceptions. Luke may just be my only exception.

The homeroom bell rang so I’m not going to find him there, so I move to my next class, his right across the hall. If I get there with time to spare we can talk. However, as I approach he’s nowhere to be found. So I lean against the wall and wait for him.

Face after face passes me by. Not one of those faces being Luke. Where is he? The hallway thins out and then the bell rings. No Luke, and I’m late.

After class I wait for him again, but still no Luke. In lunch I go on the snack line assuming he’ll pop up like he always does but when he doesn’t I’m consumed with that familiar feeling of being let down. It’s just this time I only have myself to blame.

I sit down at my table next to Roxy. She ties a band around the bottom of her side braid before she takes a sip of her water. “So my mom is making me do this charity event. Basically I have to sell tickets for a raffle, but I need help.”

“I have plans that night,” Dana says.

“I didn’t even tell you what day it is,” Roxy spits back.

“I’m sure I have plans.”

“Thanks, Dana, can always count on you. Hailey you in?”

“It’s at night?”

“Probably. It’s on a Saturday though. You don’t have to babysit on the weekends, right?”

“Right. I’ll be there.”

“Thank you, Hailey. At least I have one friend I can count on. It’s two Saturdays from today. I’ll give you the rest of the details as it comes closer.
