*Saphira's POV*
The rest of the day went fine. Actually I could really enjoy myself again.
After school all the girls went To Lynn's place and I actually joined. We had a blast. And each time his name was brought up, I acted like I had bananas in my ears.
It worked, for now. I even had dinner with her family. Her younger brothers were making jokes at the dinner table and I really had a whole lot of fun. Around seven PM the phone rang and I took that as a cue to go.
Lynn made a face at me before I closed the front door.
When I wanted to start the engine, Lynn ran across their driveway. I saw that she had a phone in her hand and I sighed.
I knew it.
"Sorry," Lynn whispered for the second time today, when she handed me the phone. Then she ran back inside to give me some privacy, I guess.
With one hand I held the phone and with my other hand I closed my eyes. "Saphira," I heard Ben Say. I didn't respond
