Claire
I just cackled in class.
While we’re on the subject, though, I also have something to tell you.
Rowan
On the subject of Daisy and Landry making a baby or my man card?
Claire
I have a date this week.
Rowan
Oh … anyone I know?
Claire
I doubt you guys run in the same circles.
Rowan
I don’t suppose a thirst-trap selfie would entice you to change your mind?
Claire
Sorry. I’ve already gotten one of those today.
Rowan
Ouch.
Well, good luck. I hope you have a nice time.
Claire
Thanks. That’s very gracious of you.
Rowan
Promise you’ll call me if you need saving?
Claire
I promise.

“Hey,”Daisy greets me when we walk out of school at the same time.
“Hey.” I force a smile, not because I’m unhappy to see her, but because I know I’m about to do something that will most likely ruin our friendship.

“How’s it going? I feel like I never see you anymore, especially since I’m only here a couple days per week.”
