Tiredness weighs down my eyes as I trudge into my first period History class, slumping into my seat right as the bell rings. Mr. Redburn wastes no time launching into a lecture on the American Revolution. I try half-heartedly to pay attention, but any thoughts of tea and the British are quickly drowned out by memories of this past weekend.

I can still barely believe how swiftly everything had changed between Ash and me. We’d gone from not speaking to making out in the middle of his bedroom, all thanks to a single phone call. I’ll have to thank Greta the next time I see her. Of course, kissing Ash hadn’t been the weekend’s only grand revelation.

“I can visit people in their dreams.”

Sitting here in class listening to Mr. Redburn drone on about dates and names, it seems impossible—the kind of thing meant for a Marvel movie, not real life.

Yet I’d experienced it for myself, seen Ash invade my dream with my own eyes. Even if I wanted to pretend it had been an incredibly lucid dream, his reaction afterward had all but confirmed the truth. As impossible as it seems, the explanation fits too well to ignore.

My hand strays to my open backpack, rustling the top of the folder stashed there. I’d spent every free moment I had on Sunday researching Ash’s ability. That folder contains the sum of what I learned.

The urge to pull it out now and read it for the umpteenth time is near overpowering, but I resist. There’ll be time enough for that once I meet up with Ash.

Somehow, I make it through History and American Lit without the anticipation killing me, evading Cat and Alexis’ questions about what has me so distracted. As I rush out of PE and down the hall to AP Econ, faint nerves squeeze my gut.

What if Ash doesn’t want to see me after what happened? What if he’s gone back to pretending I don’t exist? He’d done it before under the guise of protecting me. Now that I know his secret, will he feel the need to do it again, no matter what he promised?

My heart clogs my throat when I step into class and spy a familiar head of styled black hair. Ash reclines in his usual seat, his long legs stretched out in front of him with his ankles crossed. He glances up, his bright green eyes fixing on me and freezing me in place.

I hold my breath. This is it—moment of truth. Relief floods me when his stern lips quirk into a smile. He cocks an eyebrow, giving me a questioning look, and I realize I’m still blocking the doorway. Blushing, I hurry to my seat.

Econ passes in a blur. Thank God Ms. Pederson hadn’t given us a pop quiz today because I’m pretty sure I’d get a zero in my current head space.

I’m on my feet the instant the bell rings, hurrying over to Ash. “Hi.”

“Hey.” He rubs the back of his neck. “I, uh, wasn’t sure if I’d see you today.
