His Place
“Sorry, I’m not trying to stress you out or anything like that. I was just curious, that’s all,” Hayden said reassuringly before he smiled at me.
I haven’t gotten used to this version of the nice and proper Hayden yet. Although, it was a nice and relaxing change to how he usually is. Sometimes, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was just a front that he’s put up to hide how he really feels.
I bet he knows that Ethan came to see me, and we spent a quite a long time alone together in the classroom. So why is he being so soft and nice?
‘Be careful, Malissa’ warned the tiny voice inside of my head.
“It’s ok. Thanks for worrying about me. So many things have been going on lately and I know that I’m behind on getting my act together…” I replied, hoping that he would drop this topic.
