Chapter 24: Isabelle: Do I Want to Be Wrong Again?

I walk away from the bonfire and flop down on the sand. Resting my head on my bent knees, I groan.

"Remind me never to make you angry." Grayson lowers himself onto the sand beside me.

Despite my anger, I laugh and lift my head. "Isn't your fan club going to miss you?"

"Who? Brit? For the record, I was sitting there first. She and her friends surrounded me."

"You really should stay away from her." I stare out at the lake.

"Are you jealous?" He nudges me, and a tingle ripples through my body. Why does even the most innocent touch from him set me off like that?

"Being jealous would mean I like you."

"Ouch." He places his hand over his heart and pretends to be wounded. "And here I thought we were friends."

"There you go being wrong again."

He laughs, and the sound carries on the breeze. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. I do like him. A lot. But there's no way I'm telling him that - I don't care what deal I made with Hannah.
