ASKING PERMISSION

Tiana's POV

I left the library and found Grace waiting for me at the door. We took the next class together so she was waiting for me. I smiled sweetly at her and she smiled back, but for some reason Grace's smile unsettled me a lot recently.

"Hey", I said.

"Hey", she responded.

"How was it?", she asked.

"Fine", I replied as we started walking towards our next class.

"What is it?", I asked her when I noticed she was smiling.

"Nothing", she shook her head.

"It's just it's quite ironic isn't it? You said you didn't want to have anything to do with Lucas, ever and you wounded up becoming his project partner. Now not only do you have something to do with him, you now protect him from Romeo?", she said and I didn't say anything in response.
