On Monday, the date of homecoming was announced. It was the 23rd of October, which was about two weeks away. When it came on the morning announcement, I had planned to make a subtle comment during lunch about how I hoped a special someone would ask me and then stare longingly at Axel's table. I hoped that Sam would catch on. But when lunch came around, I frowned when I saw that Sam wasn't at the table. Cam told me that he was absent today. I'd have to do it some other day.
However, Sam's absence allowed me to do something I forgot to do during the weekend. "So I told Axel."
"About what?" Cam asked as she slurped her soup noisily.
"My crush on him," I responded and she coughed on the warm liquid. Oliver was staring at me in disbelief while Sidney was struggling to see if she heard me rig
