I couldn't concentrate at all. My mind was everywhere. This isn't like me at all. It's Wednesday and I have not been home since Friday. Staying at Nace's home has given me a bit of a break, letting my wounds heal. I don't understand why I am so frightened to go back, I mean, it's not like I haven't been through this before. But today I have to go back. It has to happen eventually.

I stare at his side. He is diagonal from me and is two lab tables ahead. His breathing is even, and he seems to be concentrated in deep thought. His hands are folded onto the black table as he debates over something. Asher has not talked to me since the day he dropped Nace and me off. I see him here and there, but I just wish I could just understand him. No! Stop. You can't. I really should listen to my brain but something just keeps on evoking me towards him. I don't understand this feeling.

"Hey?! Are you paying attention? I thought it was my job to space out?" Nace whisper-yells at me.

I slightly jump in my seat which causes a few eyes to wander my way. I silently apologize.

I let out a sigh, "yeah I'm good, just thinking about this problem that's all." I say grabbing my pencil. She looks towards the board then back at me.

"Uh he was honestly just talking about the time he almost died in the ocean as a kid, so I don't know what problem you mean?" She slightly chuckles. I can't come up with an excuse.

"Look I saw you looking at him." She looks at me with nonenthusiastic eyes, which for Nace is rare. "I-i think its best if you keep him out of your radar. I mean he's doesn't seem good. Like don't get attached. It's just" I just stare at her while she fumbles her words. "It's just I don't want to see you get hurt and plus we are leaving in a few months and -"

"Well what happened to that 'school love' thing, I thought you wanted me to find someone?" I ask now slightly annoyed. "Is it because you want him? Is that it?" I ask whispering but slightly raising my voice at her.

"No!" She says, "of course not-"

"Then what Nace?! I don't understand?!" I say to he staring at her with frustration.

"Lay I can't explain its just-" Nace becomes flustered.

"Why?!" I ask "is it because he's different from all these rich snobs?!" She looks hurt now.

"No! It's just-"

"What Nace? What reason is there?!" I ask pushing for an answer.

"It just can't be him!" She straight up yells at my face, her frustration getting the best of her.

People are now staring, and when I mean people I really mean everyone, including Asher. Nace had never yelled at me before. Not the way she just did. I start to feel claustrophobic as people's eyes bore into me. I can feel my muscles tense and my breathing becoming uneven. My face is beet red and hot. Needing some air I quickly get up grabbing my stuff and beeline towards the door.

I don't know where my feet may lead me to but at this point, I don't care. I go to my locker and grab my bag. I then start walking out the school to who knows where.

The October air is cold and dry. I pull out my dark purple knit hat from my bag and place it on my head trying to conceal in some warmth. I look around noticing all the Halloween decorations littering people's yards. Oh, that's right. Halloween is in two days.
