Chapter 6

Shelby and I sat together for our next classes before it was lunch time and she went off with her cheerleader friends. Andre and I bought lunch and sat down at a table that was occupied by only one girl who was engrossed in her phone. I sat beside her and instantly recognized who she was by her scent. I couldn't mistake it.

Paige.

"Thanks," Andre mumbled.

"What for?" I asked, taking a bite of my hamburger.

"For inviting Shelby to hang out with us, I would never have been able to ask her that, at least not this year."

"Just make sure you actually make an attempt to start a conversation with her. It wouldn't be hard, trust me, she's really nice."

We continued eating our food when Bella and Carl joined us. I turned to look at Paige who at the same time looked up from her phone to look at me. The surprise on her face told me she was just being aware that someone was sitting beside her. The surprise soon morphed into a deadpan look.

"Hi." I smile
