Chapter 23

Wen's POV

Everyone left and I sighed. This is going to be tougher than I thought. I knocked on Olivia's door. She opened it.

"What?"

"I just wanna say...I don't know...I guess...I'm sorry for my acting towards you since you moved in. I was just shocked that's all."

"Are you saying sorry just to get me into your band?"

"No...I mean, yes...maybe? How did you know?"

"The door isn't soundproof, ya know."

"Oh. Um, yeah, both I guess."

"Well, apology accepted, but I have to think about the band part." I was relieved. At least, I now have some pressure off me.

"Um, I need to be alone, bye." She smiled and closed the door.


I flopped onto my bed. I wasn't sure if she was being genuine. I mean, she heard our conversation. What if she is faking it? I sighed. High school life is so confusing. My phone buzzed.

From: Stell

To: Wen

Well? Did you guys become friendly?

From: Wen

To: Stell

Yeah, but she heard our conversation in the hallway. What if she is faking?

From: Stell

To: Wen

Whatever. We'll worry about that later. Meet at Coffee Mug in 10 min.

From: Wen

To: Stell

Sure, meet ya there.

I sighed and went out of my room.


Olivia's POV

Wen just apologized! So unlike him! Well, the him I am used to. But they want me in the band. Is this some kind of glitch? My life is so confusing and depressing. I checked my watch. Oh my gosh, it is 11:50! I am going to be late for work!

I ran downstairs and crashed into Wen. I rubbed my head.

"Oh! Sorry Wen!" I said hurriedly.

"It is ok. Where are you going?"

"Coffee Mug. I am going to be late for work."

"Do you want me to drive you, or not?" He is being nice to me. Maybe he IS be sincere.

"...Sure..." We hopped into his car and drove off.


Wen's POV

We ran into the store and went our separate ways. I headed towards where my friends were.

"So...I saw you and Olivia coming in together," Stella said.

"Yeah, she was getting to work and I offered to drive her," I replied.

"Awesome! You guys are becoming friends!" Mo exclaimed.

"Maybe I was easier than I thought," I said.

"Told you! Olivia isn't bad," Charlie said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right for once. Hey, where is Scott?" I asked.

"He is busy with his father," Mo replied. I nodded.


Olivia's POV

I was exhausted. There were so many customers today. I cleaned up and signed out. I started walking home. I took the route through the park, it was always so peaceful there. And then I saw a very familiar face, too familiar. I quickly turned away, hoping it wasn't him, but too late, he spotted me.

"Hey! Long time no see! How did you like your break?" he said scornfully.

"...fine..." I whispered.

"Oh, don't be shy, now follow me. I have to finish what I started," he said. I was scared. What he started was bad, really bad.

"Aww, come on, don't be scared, Olivia! We have history! Now follow me or I will make you," he growled. Without bothering for an answer, he started dragging me.

"Let go of me, Spencer!" I screamed.
