*Shelby*
Standing at the front of the lecture hall was the last person I wanted to see. My old friend and Michael’s only daughter.
“Lauren?” I said out loud, not believing my own eyes.
Lauren turned and noticed me sitting in the front seat. A wicked smile flashed across her face for a quick second before melting into something softer.
“Oh my god, Shelby, I didn’t know you were in this class too.”
Lauren turned her attention back to the professor, whipping her hair over her shoulder in one fluid motion. I slid down in my seat wishing I could melt into the cushions, wanting to disappear from the room.
“What’s she doing here? I didn’t think she even had her undergrad done,” Lin said to me in a whisper.
“Last time I talked to her, she didn’t. Although it seems a lot has changed since the last time I saw her. Just a few months ago she was engaged to my ex, ready to spend the rest of her life as a social media influencer,” I mumbled.
