[Abbie’s POV]
For the rest of the weekend, Austin and William don’t appear. I can only assume it is because of what happened at the annual meeting, and even though I was always insisting that their presence was nothing but a bother to me, I couldn’t help but feel a bit lonely without them.
Maybe that’s why, come Monday, I felt like I was suffering withdrawals and was more than ready to go to school where I could at least see their faces. However, I didn’t expect to find myself being approached by the last person I could have expected, and that’s why I stand here now with my guard up while the rest of the student body mills past us.
Remaining silent, I eye her as she takes me in with a look of disdain that just irritates me further.
“Can I help you?” I ask now, narrowing my gaze.
