“Here! I found these two. I hope they work!” Luna Erin walked up to me and smiled.
“Perfect! These will be great. Our stuff just wouldn’t fit into my backpack alone. I really appreciate this.”
“Anytime dear. I do need to run though.”
“So, do we.” Alec opened the door and basically scooted me out.
“Bye!” I waved at his mom as he nodded and almost slammed the door shut. Our car was already out front and waiting for us.
As we drove, Alec’s posture became more and more rigid. His knuckles were white on the steering wheel and he had a look in his eyes at would make people run from him. I, however, found it se xy as hell. Still, I didn’t ask him why he was so moody. This was more than just being late, which we weren’t. Alec pulled
up to the school right at 8:30. Colt was standing by the doors.

Colt clenched his jaw together as he looked at me. Alec kept looking around but glanced at me occasionally. “This isn’t the place for that conversation.”
“Alec’s right. Lets get your stuff and get out of here.” Colt grabbed my bag and picked it up.
“We need to stop at Emmy’s locker.” I said sullenly.
We walked in quiet until we got there. I’ve known her code for years. It was easy to open her locker and clean it out. However, pushed into the corner of the door was a picture. It was of all of us from about three years ago. Colt and I were in the middle. Emmy was on Colt’s other side with Ace standing next to me and Jacob next to him. We were all smiling.
