Chapter 72

"Hey, how are you?" I said to Brian over the phone. "How's it going at the pack?"

"Honestly, it's rough, but it's okay. I might just need to stay a few more days." He sighed.

"Oh."

"Why 'Oh'?" He asked.

"Nothing." I shrugged. Nothing like not having him not being available on my birthday.

I heard the door click, confirming that Raina was coming in.

"I'll call you later, okay?" I said, sitting up straight.

"Why so sudden? Is something wrong?" He wondered but Raina opened the door.

"Hey, Raina!" I greeted loudly, so he could understand.

"Oh, bye. I love you." He said then I ended the call, paying attention to Raina.

She stopped and narrowed her eyes at me. "Are you okay? What's with the energy?"

"Nothing. I'm just really happy to see you." I lied— actually, half-lied.

Jumping off the bed, I scurried to meet her. "I'm starving. Let's go get something to eat at the cafeteria."

"Yeah, do you mind if Tone tags alone?"

I groaned, rolling my eyes. "Whatever, he can come too."
