“Do you think she’d say yes?”
“In a word, yes.”
Gahhh, why didn’t I say no?
“I figured.” He smiles arrogantly.
“If you figured then why are you asking me?”
“Confirmation, I guess.”
As excited as I was to be here with Alec before, given the current change the conversation has taken, I’m starting to second guess my decision to stay for dinner.
“Hey,” I start, not sure what excuse I can use to get out of here, but I have to. “I actually forgot I have a huge math test tomorrow.”Lame.“Would it be okay if I take a rain check on dinner?”
“You sure? My mom loves having people over for dinner. She hasn’t gotten to do it much since we moved here.”
Way to lay on the guilt trip, Alec...
“I really wish I could, but I seriously have so much I need to get done.” I push to a stand.
“Okay.” He stands with me.
“I promise another time,” I tell him, collecting my bag off the floor where I dropped it next to the chair.
“Yeah. Another time.” I get the impression he wants to say more, but for whatever reason doesn’t. “Come on, I’ll walk you out.”
“Okay.” I turn, exiting the room.
Alec follows me to the front door, tugging it open.
“I’ll see you at school tomorrow?” I ask.
“Yep. See you at school.”
“Okay, bye.” I throw up a quick wave and turn, stepping out into the hallway.
