It had been a seriously rough day. The whole school felt like it was closing in on me, like everyone and everything were just waiting for me to crack because of the mess I'd gotten myself into. I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob and how he’d disappeared from that hallway.
He was acting like nothing had happened when, for me, everything had changed. The whispers and stares had gone through the roof since that morning, and somehow, I didn’t know what it was all about.
The only thing I knew was that the whispers and the rumors weren’t just about Jake. They were about me, too. Even though most kids didn’t know about Jake and me, a handful of students knew.
They’d seen us talking a couple of times in the hallway, the classroom too.
But the rumors weren’t about my relationship
