Chapter 291: Relationship Drama, Part 2

Well, that hadn't gone like I'd expected. Then again, I hadn't really expected to have that conversation with him just yet. Shoulders slumped, I walked into class and took my seat next to Ellie.

"Hi." She smiled brightly.

"Hey." My backpack slid off my shoulder and onto the floor.

"Uh-oh. What's wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing." I forced a smile.

She scrutinized me. "Is everything okay with Trent?"

"Yeah, we just had a little disagreement in the hallway."

"Want to talk about it?"

I shook my head. "It's fine. It was stupid." I laughed, dismissing her concern.

I wished I could talk to her about it, though. Ellie always gave good advice. If it hadn't been for her, I probably never would have given Trent the chance to explain who and what he was, because I'd been ready to walk away from him for good. Ellie had been the one to convince me to talk to him.
