I roll my eyes and walk toward the door. “Come on. Let’s go.”
He shoves the last of his cereal in his mouth and runs to follow me.
Part of me expected Hunter to be mad at me this morning because of what happened last night, but I’m glad to see that’s not the case.
When we get in the car, I wait for Hunter to take off. Instead, he turns and looks at me.
“What?” I ask.
“Nothing. Just that dress.” The chuckles, shaking his head. “It’s not you.”
“I know.” I cover my face with my hands. “Yellow looks horrible on me.”
“Nah. You look good in everything.” He starts the car.
My stomach tightens at his compliment. If he knew how much the things he said affects me, he wouldn’t say them.
Why couldn’t Spy School haven’t sent somebody else to protect me? I couldn’t help but fall for him. It hardly seems fair.
“Thanks,” I mumble, sinking further into my seat.
I have a feeling that today is going to be a long day.
We head to the dining hall to have breakfast. When Hunter sees Harper, he looks at me.
“Ah, I get it now,” he says. “She should’ve let you choose the outfit.”
“Right?” I say, as we sit down at the table across from Harper.
Hunter laughs.
Harper raises an eyebrow. “What’s funny?”
“Nothing.” I wave a hand at her. “Good morning.”
She grins. “You look cute.”
I wrinkle my nose. “Yellow really isn’t my color.”
“Harper needs a picture of you two together to send to Griffin,” Hunter says, then takes a huge bite of his sandwich.
I roll my eyes. “I really don’t.”
I doubt that Griffin wants pictures of me anymore. He’s convinced that I’m into Hunter and I can’t even deny it because I am.
“He came to the party last night looking for you.” Harper wiggles her eyebrows. “He left after he figured out you weren’t there. He looked pretty bummed out.”
I worry my bottom lip between my teeth.
What am I supposed to tell him? I can’t have a ‘headache’ every time he wants to hang out. And I should tell him the truth—that I’ve fallen for Hunter, but Hunter doesn’t feel the same.
Harper gasps, slapping her hands down on the table. “Oh, my gosh. I almost forgot to tell you!”
I look up and see her eyes wide as she bounces up and down in her seat.
I raise an eyebrow. “You and Reed made things official?”
She rolls her eyes, waving a hand. “Not yet. It’s something far more exciting.”
