"Have you seen Rhys today?" Kate dropped across from me at the picnic table. I sat in the same place as long as the weather wasn't frigid, I just didn't expect Kate would know where to find me. "We don't have any classes together in the morning." I shook my head, willing myself to eat my leftover pizza. "Hmmm. You look awful," she said. I blinked at her. She didn't. She looked like everyday Kate Haumann, but the closer I looked, the more I noticed her make up made up for all the signs that she'd been awake until two in the morning. Blush faked the rosiness, a messy bun disguised as unwashed hair. How did she make tired look passable? "Thank you," I replied, putting on a tired smile for her. My morning involved staying in bed as long as possible because it was hard to get enough sleep.
