When I got out of class, I couldn't figure out which direction Ian had gone. And honestly, my emotions were all over the place after how badly I had failed at controlling myself back there that I couldn't think clearly now.
Around Shawn. Around June whenever she mentioned him.
I could have just stayed calm and acted normal and everything would have gone smoothly. It should have been easy. But somehow, I kept reacting in the worst ways possible.
I headed toward the bathroom, telling myself to give Ian space. If he was avoiding me that much, then maybe he genuinely didn't want me around for some reasons.
But the moment I stepped inside, I froze when I saw him walking toward the exit furiously, his eyes glossy with tears he clearly didn't want anyone seeing. Right behind him was Asher, moving fast like he had been trying to catch up to him.
But when Asher saw me, he stopped instantly.
My body went still, my heartbeat suddenly turning uneven for reasons I couldn't explain.
