Chapter 20

"Is it me, or has Miss Rose seemed to be in an awful mood all week?"

I was seated across Javier having lunch.

I placed a forkful of rice in my mouth before replying, "really? I hadn't even noticed."

That was a lie. This entire week had been hell. Miss Rose was avoiding me at any moment she got. She would not speak to me unless absolutely necessary. Even at meetings; we would sit there next to each other in silence, afterwards we would drive back in silence. Her face was set- expressionless. The worst part of it, I had to pretend that I wasn't bothered by this, I had to pretend to be indifferent to her obvious changes in behavior, I had to pretend that my heart didn't shatter into a million pieces whenever she walked past without as much as a single word or a glance my way.

"Yeah." Javier said as he leaned forward in his seat, "it's been really weird. I've never seen her like this. She seems a whole lot more irritable as of recent as well. The whole thing is crazy."
