I was satisfied with that answer as long as he came through. I know there's a reason why Brad hates Blake above all other boys, but that hasn't come into the light just yet. I knew something was up when Reece nearly had a heart attack after he found out I was talking with Blake. I might not know Reece all too well, but I do know that's not normal behavior.

The day has gone by relatively fast. Blake and I presented our project. I'm pretty sure we got an easy 'A' on that one. The teacher seemed very pleased with our efforts which is good.

But now it is lunch, probably my favorite time of the day besides the end of school. Not only do I get to eat food, but I see all my friends. Speaking of friends, all of them decide to turn the conversation onto me.

"You know Harper, I don't think I've seen you really hangout with any other guys. Why is that?" Tristan asks while shoving food into his mouth.

Before I even have the chance to respond, Brad interrupts, "She's not allowed to." He gives a stern look.

"Eventually she's going to have to talk with males other than us, Brad! It's the way of life!" Connor defends me.

I just sit there, not really knowing what to do. I'm glad Connor is taking me side, but I don't know how we got here.

To my left, I see James giving me a sympathetic look. He's always been the one there for me besides Brad. Like I've said, James is practically my brother from another mother.

Jacee looks at me worried. I can tell she's afraid of what the the future holds. She knows what will happen if Brad finds out I've been with Blake. That's not something the world can yet handle.

"I'm going to go the bathroom," I excuse myself from the table.

I head towards the exit to see Jacee trying to get up from her chair. I shake my head, signaling that doesn't need to come follow me. It's a girl thing.

I roam around the halls aimlessly. I'm not actually going to go the bathroom. I just need to clear my head. My life has taken a drastic turn since being partnered up with Blake.

All these thoughts fill up my head as I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to be asked, "Are you okay?"
