Chapter 27 Mia

• "Phew, I'm glad that is over. Oh, hi!" Tracy says, turning her attention to another girl passing us. I glance at her as she smiles brightly, already blending in with the popular crowd. Of course, she would. It hasn’t even been an hour since we arrived, and she’s already gotten over 15 greetings.
• "Yeah, I guess," I mutter, unlocking my locker. She doesn’t respond—too busy chatting with the guy whose locker is next to mine.
