Chapter 105: Answer Me!, Part 2

Readjusting my backpack, I turned to head toward class. Olivia stared daggers at me. Normally, I would've put my head down, or walked around the long way to get to class, but this time, I smiled at her and walked by without a second thought.

When I walked into class, Simon was sitting at my desk.

"Um, you do know you're not in this class, right?" I said around a laugh.

"I know." He smiled and slid out of my seat. "But you are." He kissed my cheek, and this time, I didn't pull away. Mostly because I was just so relieved he wasn't ditching me. Because like it or not, I did need a friend, and I hated to admit it, but Jaxon was no longer that person. Not when he was lying to me and keeping secrets.

Students filed into the room, and Simon stepped back. "See you at lunch," he said.

Hands in his pockets, he strolled out of the room, grinning. Olivia gave him a dirty look as she passed him, which she then turned on me.
