I took my seat beside Jara at the lunch table and pulled the same lunch as always from my pocket: a stick if gum.

I wasn't anorexic. I just didn't like food, and that was just fine with me.

I hadn't slept a wink the night before and it must have showed on my face.

"Mary, you look tired." Jara commented.

"Thanks, babe. " I narrowed my eyes. "Your kindness and courtesy... that's it."

"That's what?" she looked confused.

"I'm nominating you for sainthood." I smirked. She flipped me off, but then her eyes caught ssomething behind me.

"What?" I asked, turning around... to face Potter, about three feet from me. "Oh."

"Hi, Alex." He smiled.

And I melted. "Hi, Potter."

Jara's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates at the next words Potter said.

"Can I sit with you?"
