Chapter 44

Skylar's POV

I got an A in my Physics test.

All thanks to Blake, which I wasn't going to say out loud anytime soon. That guy was basically the reason why Alex had lied to me, the reason why Alex had betrayed my trust.

On the other hand, I was beyond excited to tell my mother about it; my grade. This was something that I needed to tell her, at all costs. She needed to know that her daughter could most definitely get decent grades in Physics.

But when I got back to my house after school, the atmosphere was a whole lot different than usual.

"There's a wedding happening." Mom looked extra busy in her work, Dad too.

"Wedding?" I let the foreign word roll off my tongue, tossing my bag on the couch and going over towards Mom, near the kitchen island.

"With a very nice boy who has a decent job." She turned and looked at me. "And is very polite."

Something inside me stirred and I looked at her in horror. "I'm not marrying anyone, Mom!"
