So they had time to spread the word about a party, but not invite ainst my locker when Mark bounced away He slapped hands with another guy as he did so and they started laughing I watched his lips and kneas talking about the Kade party, the one I hadn’t been inforain, I shouldn’t have been surprised Mason and Logan disappeared after Tuesday They ith their ht, but Analise and I hadn’t been asked to go along

I never heard from them the rest of the week A part of me tried to be reasonable They were busy They had lots of practices and I knew both were intent on dearoaned and let ainst my locker It made no sense They should’ve called me, or texted

"Hey" A soft voice spoke and I opened rim look on his face

"Hey"

I rolled my eyes and saw a mirrored reaction on Adam’s face

When he pushed open a door, I saere in some roo around Cords were everywhere "What is this?"

"It’s where theout"

"Won’t they need this room?"

"I don’t care They won’t come in until we’re done"

And with those words, an aard silence fell over us I looked at him, he looked at me Neither of us spoke So I sluet a couch for their roo as Adam cleared his throat and fiddled with his thumbs

"Just say what you need to say, Adam We can leave as soon as you’re done"
