- Walking home from school the next day.
- Ethan cornered me in a side alley.
- “Sarah.”
- “Let’s talk after the SATS.”
- “Talk about what?”
- He leaned in close, his gaze fixed on mine.
- “Dating.”
- So, he really did like me.
- I pressed my lips together.
- “No.”
- “Why not?”
- “You only got three points on your essay.”
- He ran a hand through his hair, a pout
- forming on his lips.
- “So what?”
- His jawline was sharp and defined.
- I smiled.
- “Get an average score on tomorrow’s essay,
- then we’ll talk.”

- Ethan gritted his teeth.
- “Fine.”
- My phone buzzed in my pocket.
- I pulled it out and accidentally swiped to
- answer.
- Jake’s voice filled my ear.
- “Sarah.”
- “Pack your bags. You’re coming back to
- Crestview tomorrow.”
- His tone was condescending, like he was
- doing me a huge favor.
- As if I’d be ecstatic to jump at his command.
- I was completely baffled.
- Just as I was about to hang up, a voice spoke
- directly into my hearing aid.
- “Babe, you gotta close your eyes when we
- kiss.”
- “And no answering calls from random guys.”
- Jake’s voice was sharp with anger.
- <
- “Who is that?”
- “Sarah, get your stuff together and come
- back before I change my mind.”
- I looked up at Ethan’s defiant face. I didn’t
- bother explaining.
- “No thanks. I’m happy at Northwood.”
- Jake’s voice was tight with disbelief.
- “Sarah, don’t be ridiculous. This isn’t the time
- to be stubborn.”
- “A place like Northwood? You’re really
- planning on staying there until the SATs?”
- “Don’t you want to go to Harvard or Yale?”
- So, he remembered my dream of going to an
- Ivy League.
- He knew Northwood wouldn’t get me there.
- But how dare he? He was the one who kicked
- me out, humiliated me with that forced
- transfer.
- And now, right before the SATs, he wanted
- me back?
