Emily hadn't meant to spy on them. When she came into the library she fully intended to find a comfortable chair and work on her reading homework for her European history class.
What she didn't expect was that Justin would walk in and sit down at a table in the middle of the study area. She was about to go over and see if she could join him when a familiar unpleasant face showed up. Alexa.
She was too far away to hear what they were saying but she could tell that she was making fun of him by the look on his face. Her hands balled into fists. What was this girl's problem? Why did she have to be so mean to him when he treated her so sincerely?
Emily tried really hard to focus on her chapter but the words wouldn't stick in her brain no matter how many times she read them. She continued sneaking glances. The two of them were hunched over some papers before Alexa practically jumped out of her chair. What on earth could they be talking about over there?!
