I gripped my phone tightly. Suddenly, I feel like crying.
I cannot understand. Just last night, he said he would be glad when our deal was over, but here he is now. He said he's going to keep me longer than that and is still texting me like this.
Is he doing this for nothing? It's annoying. I'm no flirting expert. I hate games. I'm not ready for this. I hate that he's giving me mixed signals.
I just dropped my phone on my side table. I will never reply to him unless he can corner me somewhere. It's already hard enough. My life has dramatically turned around since I decided to enter Herondale High because I am doing things now that I didn't do before, especially lying to my brothers. I don't need him to mess everything up even more. I am already playing with fate, and I don't need to play with fire too. Because the more that things get tangled, the more they're going to hurt me, and I am going to suffer the fall.
