Thanks be to EBT.


I was in a panic after I had put my little brothers to sleep. I couldn't find my calculus book, and I had a horrible feeling I knew exactly where it was.

Mom and dad came home early from their date. If I'd had my calculus book, I would've been thrilled at the extra hour of studying.

Instead, all I felt was dread.

Because up until that point, I'd done the right thing: I avoided you.

I was in the beginning stages of whatever Ben and I are.

I was being the best friend that Bella deserved.

Sort of.

But there was no way of getting around the situation.

So I climbed into my car, took a deep breath, and headed out to get my calculus book.

My calculus book that was still in your room.
