Capítulo 16: Chapter 16: Smooch

"HEY, ISAAC! CAUGHT SOMEONE for you!" He laughed evilly. Isaac was on me in a second, grabbing me from Hugh's arms. Ignoring my pleas, he laid one on me, milk and all. And it wasn't horrible, just super weird because I knew everyone was staring; I hated that. Hugh released me, cackling. The entire quad of students was laughing and pointing at us, at me.

I froze. This was way too much like my outcast memories of last year.

Isaac caught on to my extreme discomfort before anyone else noticed my freaked-out state. As quick as lightning, he threw me over his shoulder and hauled me around the nearest building. Plopping me down on the pavement against a wall of lockers, he crouched down to cradle my face. With a corner of his shirt, he wiped the milk from both of us.

Regret practically bled from his eyes. "Tru, I'm really, really sorry if that hurt you in any way. I was just having fun."
