Chapter 505

Judy's POV

"You look as if you haven't slept in days," Nan points out as I join her in the coffee shop near the school campus. I felt gross; I didn't bother showering and knew I had dark circles under my eyes.

"I haven't," I admitted. "Not since my date with Gavin."

"You still haven't heard from him?"

I shook my head.

"I texted him last night after Matt left, but he hasn't even opened it. His phone's been off..." I told her.

"That's odd," she said. "Maybe you are right... Maybe something happened. Did you talk to Beta Taylor?"

"He won't tell me anything. He gets weird when I bring up Gavin," I told her, my heart pounding in my chest.

"Has Matthew said anything?"

I thought back to my conversation with Matt last night.

"He asked me if I still liked his father," I told her. "Like if we were still friends... then he mentioned something about his perception being wrong. He didn't get to finish his thought, though, because Taylor came to pick him up."

"I wonder what he meant by that," Nan said thoughtfully.
