The next day at school passes dreadfully slow.

We're all tired, our eyes red from staying out so late last night at the bonfire.

People are a little less whispery around us, seven saying hi towhen they see us Aiden and | walking

together. | don't think I've seen the worst of the backlash for dating him though, because Sadie hasn't been in

school all week.

I'm afraid of what will happen when | see her.

By the tshool is over, | am ready to go hand knock out on my bed.

Aiden meetsby the door of my last class, instantly wrapping his arms around my waist and pullingin for

a kiss. | breathe into him as he deepens it, swirling his tongue in my mouth.

"Mmm, | miss you," he hums.

| chuckle, pulling away but keeping our faces close."You've seenevery day, Aiden."

He thrusts his hips into mine, hissing. "You know what | mean."

My stomach flutters.

"Want to cover tonight when I'm done with practice?"

I nod, pressing a kiss against his lips.

"Spend the night?"

He cupsbetween the legs, dragging his teeth across my earlobe. "You tell

He laughs against my lips. "I'll text you when we're done, baby."

He kissesagain, dippinglow enough forto panic and grab onto his

arms.

"Aiden!"

With a chuckle, he liftsup, and kissesone last tbefore walking toward the gym. | huff as | watch him

walk away, wishing we could go straight to his house right

now.

| walk out of campus and start my way home. | hear the engine of a car in the parking lot and I look up, my heart

slamming in my chest.

Zaid is there, in his car, his gaze locked on me. He watchesand when I still, he givesa stiff nod. O

I swallow, my mouth dry. He doesn't say anything, no words pass between us, but | know

what he's asking me. | don't really think about it, because I've been thinking about him

since yesterday.

| sit on the passenger side, and he drives away, not speaking a word. The ride is quiet, the

entire tand | anxiously pick at the scar on my wrist.

Thirty minutes later I'm sitting across from Zaid, the diner quieter than last time, through still full of different

conversations and clinking dishes.

"You chere a lot?"

He shrugs, not even looking at the menu as he orders us drinks and sfries. "It's

nostalgic."

His eyes are pensive, serious and it triggers a curiosity in me. "Why?"

He turns to face me, studyingfor a second before he whispers. "It was my mom's favorite place."

His reaction is immediate. A flash of anger crosses his eyes and his jaw tightens while his nostrils flare. He looks

away, staring out the window before turning back to me.

| swallow, trying to find the right words to tell him it's okay if he can't talk about her yet, or right now.

But he beatsto it, shaking his head with a bitter laugh. "My mom? | feel like | don't know how to talk about

her."

"| just... you don't have to. It's just that I can tell she meant a lot to you."

He laughs louder. "Meant a lot? That's an understatement."

| wrap my arms around myself, and just like last time, we are interrupted by the

waitress as she puts a basket of fries in front of us and our two drinks.
