Aric came into Aberdeen’s class with me, which was humiliating, because everyone was fawning over him. Apparently, he and Aberdeen were chummy, so he had Aric help with the class discussion today while I tried to blend into the wall. After class Aric gave me a swift kiss and then relinquished me back to Elliot’s care which was so much better because there was a lot less staring at Elliot and I didn’t have to deal with 100 teenage girls throwing themselves at my mate. The rest of the day passed without further incident. In literature Liz informed me that she heard Melchior had to go to the hospital, but they expected him to be fine. I couldn’t say I felt too bad about that whole situation- he was a bona fide jerk! But I was glad Elliot hadn’t killed him. The girls walked me to the park
