Unexpected Guest

Caroline pov:

The rest of the day was a total trainwreck. Grayson dragged me out to the parking lot and just left me there without a single word. Nathaniel's car was nowhere to be seen, which probably meant he was not driving me home. Not that I expected him to after what I said.

My last class was English, which I usually enjoy, but it felt like an eternity today. I was counting down the minutes until I could finally go home and see my dad. He texted saying he got off the plane, and that was the only thing keeping me going through this disastrous day.

As I walked down the hall, I could hear the whispers and feel the stares burning into me, which I did my best to ignore. Natasha was MIA for the rest of the day, and I honestly didn't have the energy to track her down and chat.

I sent her a text letting her know I wasn't mad, she was just being her usual self. I think everyone was in a weird, grumpy mood today. But she didn't even bother to reply.

Cheer practice was even worse than lunch
