✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩
THE ENTIRE night, all I could think about was Malachi. He was going to kiss me, wasn't he? I'm not crazy... at least I don't think I'm crazy.
When I "wake up"... it's not really waking up because I only got an hour of sleep, but I get the kids up and usher them to the dining hall.
After getting them all through the line, I sit down at the counselor table, sighing as I set my head down on the table tiredly.
Malachi laughs. "You good, Liz?"
"Tired." I mutter, and he grabs my shoulders right sit me upright.
"Why're you tired?" He asks me softly.
Because I was up thinking about you.
"Overthinking." I mutter, and he frowns.
"About what?" He questions, and I shrug, putting my head back down on the table. He lifts me up again. "About what, Elizabeth?"
"Ew, don't call me that." I send him a side eye, and he smiles at me.
"Alright, I won't." He agrees. "Only if you tell me why you were overthinking."
I look away from him. I can't exactly say that he was the reason, Aurora and Aiden would never let that go.
I take in his outfit to avoid answering the question. He's wearing the typical shirt, but a white version, and some black shorts. Why does he look good in everything?
"Earth to Lizzie? You were asked a question." Aiden snaps his fingers at me, which snaps me out of mu thoughts.
"Oh— right, uhm... just about my mom and stuff." I shrug.
Malachi sends me a reassuring glance while everyone else is in their own little conversations, and I smile at him.
"Lizzie? You wanna go get some food with me?" Belle asks, and I nod.
We get up to get food, and Aurora follows us. While we're up there, they pull me behind a secluded wall.
"Malachi and you. What is going on there?" Aurora intimidates me, and my eyes widen.
