HAZEL The crew heads back to campus right after breakfast. Everyone is pleasantly surprised to have Asher join us. Well, everyone except Larry. He seems grumpier than usual and it’s distressing to think about how he’d acted so out of character last night. It must have been the alcohol. There’s no way in hell that a menace like Larry actually likes me. I wonder what Asher would do if he found out that Larry had kissed me last night. I will admit, that the thought did cross my mind, to rub it in his face. To make him hurt. But I didn’t. For some reason, the thought of being petty right back, doesn’t feel as good as it usually does. Asher didn’t bring the rover so he had to hitch a ride in the van with the rest of us. He sits next to me and I do a good job of ignoring his presence. Kelly
