Chapter 33

Brielle’s POV

The next day, I went to school early hoping that Blake would be there. I waited for him while checking the time on the classroom wall, but time kept going and everyone else arrived except for him. Class began and I was barely concentrating. I was worried about Blake.

No one else was bothered by Blake’s absence. It was normal for him to disappear for days, but it was new to me and I didn’t like it. As much as I would like to deny it, I was starting to develop feelings for Blake. I don’t quite understand them yet, but I know that I care for him and I want to see him and spend time with him.

Lunch went by and everyone came out of the class. I stayed behind. I had no appetite, so I didn’t feel like doing anything. I checked my phone hoping that he would call me or send me a text. But why wasn’t I doing that? I was afraid that my messages and calls would get ignored and that is why I was hoping that he would reach out to me first.
