I turn back to Alex “Ten minutes?”

He smiles “I’ll wait by the lobby”

“Awesome”

I shut the door behind me and all four of them stare ide eyes

“What?”

“What’d he want?” It’s Trent who asks

“To see e’re going to breakfast, why?”

He shrugs, then turns and walks out while the girls giggle lightly

“Darins

“It’s breakfast”

“And last night’s dessert was Nico Or was it you as dessert?” Macy teases

“Cute” I flip her off “Can we get dressed now?”

They hop up and within a solid twenty all of us are headed to our last breakfast before we go home and back to school tomorrow

Alex sits byto the people around us until we’re about done and people begin taking pictures

He turns toback with Krista?”

“Yeah, the four of us drove in together”

“Well if you want, you can ride with rins

“You sure you can handle me for a whole two hours?”

“I can e”

I s about a ‘yes’ tasting sour on irls about it This is kind of our trip, so I don’t want to upset anyone”

“Didn’t you ditch theht to spend it with Sykes?”

My muscles lock and my eyes fly to his

Well, that was bold and delivered a little gruffly

“I didn’t ditch them, I ”

I sort of ditched theirls would have carried me and droppedwith them, they’re awesome like that

I don’t say this to Alex

He gives a tight grin “I wasn’t trying to give you a hard time”

“No, you’re fine I guess, in a way, you can say I did” Not really

“So you hung out with Nico last night?” he probes

I take a deep breath, looking away a moment

What is he doing?

He saw us go into my room, so why question me at all?

And why a?

The sole purpose was for hiht?

Right
