The Heart Wager — The New Transfer Student

Chloe be more careful next time babe let's go Brooke pulled his hand back with a smile and told me to be careful I could hear she was upset and I wasn't about to stay and explain myself even after I left the breakfast place I still couldn't avoid Mason we were still lab partners in honors physics Chloe bad

news everyone else already found a partner you're the only one left so you'll be on your own for the next eight weeks she She told me in front of everyone that no one picked me. Those looks made me want to crawl out of my skin.

But next week, I wouldn't have to keep making room for Mason. That part was a relief. It's fine.

It's freezing. What are you doing? It was stuffy. I stopped wondering why he was upset.

If I had to sit alone, fine. Better that than sitting next to him and getting dragged back into his mess. We're seniors?

Someone's transferring in now? He starts Monday. I saw a picture. He's really hot.

Hotter than Mason?
