Chapter 51

• Friday afternoons were basically reserved for club activities. Since I wasn’t part of any, I didn’t waste a second before rushing home the moment the lunch bell rang. Hoping to avoid William, I had packed my bag the night before and planned to skip lunch, grab a cab to the next town, and catch a bus from there. But my plan fell apart fast.
• A gray pickup truck was parked right in front of my house. William was leaning against the hood, and when he saw me, his eyes lifted like he’d been waiting. I didn’t even bother to hide how pissed I was as I walked up to him.
• "You could’ve at least warned me you were coming." I couldn’t help feeling frustrated that he had completely wrecked my plan.
