Chapter Eight

A week later

Saira sat in a corner in the library reading since that was all she ever did nowadays. Daniel was busy with his classes and she didn't have any friends. The only other person whom she'd clicked with and thought she could be friends with didn't want to be friends because he wanted to sleep with her and now he was treating her like she didn't exist. Well she didn't need his friendship either. He could shove it for all she cared.

Saira suddenly stiffened as the hair on the nape of her neck stood at attention and goosebumps appeared on her skin. She felt his presence before she looked up and saw him.

"Hey." Ethan greeted tentatively not knowing what her reaction would be. He'd ghosted her for a few days without any reason so if she shut him out as well then he'd deserve it.

Saira closed her book, deposited it inside her bag and stood up. She was not going to say a single word to him so he'd know how she felt.

"I'm sorry." He grabbed her forearm to stop her from leaving.
