What more would I experience in his hands? I cannot help but shudder when I think about it. "Watch where you are going!"
I hear someone say, snapping me out of my haze of thoughts. The girl looks at me with a somewhat sharp and angry gaze before she walks off. I quickly realize that I must have bumped into her. I could not apologize as she is already leaving. I was so caught up in my thoughts about Calix and last night that I did not look where I was going. And wait—was I not still on the road a while ago? How am I now in the locker hallway? How did I get here so soon?
My heart almost explodes when Maverick jumps in front of me all of sudden, blowing a loud, rubber trumpet in my face and yelling, "Happy Birthday!" He throws a bunch of confetti in the air. "It's your birthday! Hurray!!!"
"Was that funny? You almost gave me a heart attack!" I yell at him, holding my hand to my chest to calm my poor heart that is thumping from the fright.
