I sighed as I sat against the pillows and stared at the far wall.

I just wanted to know why Charlie put me on edge so much. Why just us too? The other students seemed unfazed by him, they even liked him.

“How was your date with Chum?” Bug asked suddenly, and my cheeks flushed as my eyes fell to the bed.

God. Why was he asking that?

“It was good,” I mumbled. I wasn’t going to lie.

Bug just nodded as he looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes.

“You should try to get some more sleep before tomorrow,” he said after a moment, and my stomach dropped.

Had I upset him? I really hoped not.

He fell silent with his eyes closed, and I wondered if he was annoyed with me.

I couldn’t choose between them. It was too hard.

I’d dug myself into a stupid hole because I couldn’t figure out my emotions. They were going to get hurt because I was being selfish and wanted all of them.

I rolled onto my side, wishing my hair was dry. I hated sleeping with wet hair, but I was beyond tired.

But as I closed my eyes, Charlie’s face appeared in the darkness, laughing wickedly and making my blood run cold.
