"Are you listening to me?" Mom asks.
"Sorry what?"
"What's eating you?" She asks sitting across from me.
"This new guy." I sigh.
"This is about a boy?" She grins making me roll my eyes.
"He's a jerk. It's Hanna's ex. The one that made her have to move back here. He's here now and ugh. He pretty much called me a dog and Hanna my master."
"Why would he do that?" She asks furrowing her brows. I glance away and she sighs. "I know you love Hanna. We love her. But I didn't raise you to be cruel Joanna. To anyone."
"I know." I groan.
"If he's bad news just stay away. But don't write someone off for a bad choice. We're all capable of those."
"Okay." I nod. Too tired to argue with her right now.
"Go get ready for school."
I do just that. Kissing her cheek I head out to Hanna's car.
"Why so glum, chum?" She asks.
"Tired." I state.
As if she's an Angel she hands me a cup of coffee. I smile tiredly and take it.
When we get to school we head to our lockers then english. Finals are coming up which I dread.
Mr. Franklin comes in.
"Morning children. Today we're going to partner up for our final. If any of you recall what that may be." He winks.
Of course I do it's a presentation on where we'll be in twenty years. Rolling my eyes I open my notebook.
"We'll be picking partners out of this hat. Pass it around. No trading."
I groan internally at the thought of getting anyone besides Hanna. I glance at her and she pulls a face making me smile.
I take the hat and hold my breath as I unfold the paper. Unfolding it I keep my eyes closed tightly.
I open one and my stomach bottoms out. I pinch the bridge of my nose and try to stay calm. Hanna arches a brow and I hold it up to show her.
In black writing. My fate. Alec.
