We pulled into the school and the first two classes of the day went as planned. None of the other students seemed to notice I was gone.

My third class was another story entirely. I had almost forgotten I sat with both the twins in this class.

The moment I walked through the door, both of their eyes were on me. Their gazes burned into my skin, the guilt bubbling within me nearly made me nauseous.

I walked slowly, my eyes guarded as I looked into their own.

It seems the two of them had seen better days. Their eyes looked darker, almost black. Deep rings lined their eyes, making it look as though they needed a good nights sleep.

Kade was as gorgeous as ever. His hair tousled on the top and short on the sides. His long sleeve shirt clung to every dip and arch of his body.

Alec looked stunning with his longer and tousled hair. His typical leather jacket was in place.

They were sitting next to eachother for a change, giving me a chance to spend the class without being touched.

I needed to resist the pull I felt towards them, but now it felt stronger than ever. Something had definitely changed. The urge to be near them was not purely mental torture, it was now physical.

My body ached, shivering at the longing I felt. I wasn’t sure how I’d get past this class, but I was determined to try.

“Well hello, doll.” Alec’s dark eyebrow lifted, his obsidian colored eyes roaming the dress I had chosen.

My cheeks flared under their attention, but I chose to ignore his comment.

“We heard you had quite the week.” Kade spoke smoothly, his eyes running over my face.

“Yes, I did.” I nodded, keeping the conversation as bland as possible.

“You moved in with Garrett?” Alec quipped, and my heart fluttered.

It made my insides warm when Alec called him Garrett. Everyone else had almost slipped up and called him my ‘Dad’.

‘They know how you feel.’ Thalia murmured, ‘If you’d open up to them, you could feel their emotions too.’

‘People don’t feel each others emotions.’ I rolled my eyes, ‘If they did Melissa and Frank would’ve never treated me how they did.’

Thalia sighed and retreated to the back of my mind, clearly tired of arguing with me.
