Ella's POV"Thanks," I said, turning toward my locker.Kael was still walking behind me. I could hear his footsteps. Feel his eyes on my back. People were still staring as I walked past. Even Miss Lana, my math teacher, looked at me when I passed her in the hallway. When I turned to look back, I caught her still watching.I had never gotten that kind of attention from teachers before."I felt you weren't comfortable with me showing up yesterday night," Kael said."Why do you think so?" I opened my locker and started pulling out my books. "I wouldn't have done my science homework if not for you."That was true. My notebook had all the notes I needed. Without it, I would have been stuck.Kael leaned against the locker next to mine. "I overthink too much. So I assume things.""Good for you," I said.The words came out before I could stop them. I never talked to anyone like that. Not with that tone. Not with that edge. But Kael didn't seem bothered. He just smiled."Guess what," he said.
