Celeste Bennet is only 18 and she's already ran out of luck.

Suddenly, I remembered what I said to her last night. I didn't mean for it to slip past my lips as quickly and carelessly as it did. I don't regret it because I meant it, but I regret saying it as early as I did when it's clear she doesn't feel the same.

I took a quick shower as I was trying my hardest to stay quiet. I needed to get away before she asked questions about last night. I didn't want to talk about it.
