Chapter 18: Grayson: #1 Cheater

At school the following day, I'm anxious to find Isabelle. She ran out of Parker's so fast last night, and then she wouldn't answer any of my messages. She said Cam wasn't cheating on her, but he was there with another girl, and she had that look on her face. The one of stark realization and betrayal. I know that look too well - my father wore it for months after my mother cheated on him.

Fresh worry burrows inside of me, and I practically run through the hall. When I get closer to Isabelle's locker, I slow down. She's standing in front of Cam, shoulders stiff and back ramrod straight. I can only imagine how tense her expression must be. Cam's face is red, and he's gesturing wildly with his hands. I approach cautiously, not wanting to interrupt but desperate to know what's going on. To help Isabelle if I can.

"There's nothing to explain." Isabelle's voice is even and controlled. "I know what I saw, Cam."

"It's not what you think."
