章 116: Sealing The Deal

JASON POV:

Okay, so I didn't mean to skip class again. Seriously, I had every intention of showing up today. I even woke up early and told myself that no matter what happened, I was going to sit through that boring lecture and, most importantly, see Ella.

But of course, life—or more accurately, Mr. Kingsley—had other plans.

At 7:00 a.m., I got the call. Apparently, the man himself wanted to meet me again. This time, he'd "made his decision," but I needed to bring the finalized contract just in case he was on board.

So, yeah. Another day, another missed opportunity to see the only girl who could make me willingly sit in a classroom.

I'd be lying if I said I felt bad about skipping class because I care for school. Nah, that wasn't it. What really sucked was that I wouldn't get to see Ella.

God, I miss her.

I checked my phone as I got ready for the day, hoping—praying—for a miracle. Nothing.
