Cassandra POV
It’s been a week since I last heard from Nate, and I’m starting to feel concerned. I’ve tried reaching out multiple times, but his phone is turned off. “Is he still angry with me?” I ask myself, unease settling in my stomach. I know something isn’t right, but I can’t quite pinpoint what it is.
“Hey, Cassie!” Lauren whispered, drawing my attention. I managed a small smile for her and then turned back to the ongoing lecture. I couldn’t hold back any longer; I needed to open up to Lauren and share what was going on. Maybe she could help me.
“Lauren! I need to talk to you about something important,” I mumbled, struggling to keep my composure. It was obvious that Professor Marcus was trying his best to drive me crazy, but I wasn’t going to let that happen.
