Allie

I slip into English class with seconds to spare when an unfamiliar face pauses beside my desk. “Um… you’re Alejandra, right?” a girl asks.

“Allie,” I correct her while nodding and she slides into the seat beside me.

“I’m Kasey.”

I frown. Why is she talking to me? “Uh, okay.”

The bell rings and the last of the students claim their seats, but there’s no sign of Mrs. Beck anywhere, and as soon as the rest of the class realizes she’s MIA, they all begin talking, visiting their friends' desks, and tossing crumpled paper balls around in a game of catch.

My gaze wanders over the heads in the room and I meet Roman’s stare. I swear it burns right through me. Heat flashes through my chest with each passing second and my heart rate picks up before Kasey draws my attention back with a small wave of her hand. “So, yeah. Hi.”

I raise both brows. “Hi.”

“I know we haven’t talked before. I kept meaning to introduce myself but you seemed a little standoffish and”—her eyes dart around the classroom—“well, anyway. I was just wondering if you had a thing for Aaron Henderson?”

I scowl at her. Was she for real right now? “Why? Do you have a thing for Aaron Henderson?” I don’t need to turn to know that Roman’s stare is still boring into me but I decide to ignore it, giving Kasey my full attention.

She chokes on a laugh, her blond curls bouncing around her heart-shaped face as she claps her hand over her mouth. “What? No! He’s my brother.”

“Your brother?”

She laughs. “Yeah, sorry. I probably should have led with that. I kind of assumed you knew.”

I’m shaking my head. “No. I didn’t. He never mentioned he had a little sister.”

She sighs. “Yeah, we’re not very close. Four years between us and all. But he’s a good big brother. Maybe a little absent but what can I expect? You know?” No. I didn’t know. I didn’t have any brothers or sisters.

“So that makes you a…”

“Freshman. Yep.”

I raise a brow. “And you’re in this class because…?

“Oh. I have a non-schedule first period. I usually hang out in the library since I ride to school with Aaron but Mrs. Beck asked me to T.A. for her today so here I am.”

Oh. Okay.

“Anyway, so…umm… do you?”

I tilt my head to the side before her earlier question comes back to me. “Oh. No.” I shake my head. “We’re just friends.”

Her smile drops and she purses her lips together. “Oh.”

Why does she care?

I reach out and touch her forearm offering what I hope is a reassuring gesture. “It’s not like that with us. On either side. You don’t need to worry about me stringing him along or anything. He knows I’m only looking for friendship.”

She nods but doesn’t look wholly convinced. “Is it because of…” She flicks her gaze toward Roman just as the classroom door opens and I'm saved from having to answer.

“Good morning, class. Sorry for the delay. Please open your books to…”

Class goes by as usual.
