it. I should have pulled my hand away, but it felt so good. His hands are rough, calloused, and feel wonderful against my skin.
    “Good,” I croak. J is still massaging my hand when we pull into the school parking lot.
    When we walk through the doors everyone is staring at me. When you have two hot guys walking you down the hall of course people are going to stare. I mean I did get knocked out in gym yesterday, which happened to be my first day at a new school, and then left with them both. This is my second day here and I’m being escorted by two guys. Great, I’m a slut now.
    In the midst of me racking my brain trying to come up with a plan to ditch the guys, I spot Jess walking towards us. “Hey Yankee! How ya feelin’?”
    “I’m fine, Jess.” A light bulb suddenly clicks on in my head. “Hey Jess, what was that thing you wanted to show me yesterday?” She tilts her head to the side like she is pondering what I was talking about. Please Jess, I need you to catch on! “Don’t you remember? You said you had to show me something?” I stare at her, my eyes pleading for her to grasp what I am really meaning.
    “I’m sorry Yankee, but I have no clue what you’re going on about.”
    “That thing! You said it was important!” I wince when I realize I had said that a little too loudly.
    Jess looks between Bo and J. “Are y’all sure she’s okay?”
    “I’m fine!” I snap and point to Jess. “She just isn’t remembering and…and I know how important it was for her!” Oh, dear lord, I have lost it! I wanted away from them so bad that I was making myself sound insane.
    By now, the guys have moved and are standing on either side of Jess with their arms crossed, giving me concerned looks.
    J is the first one to speak up. “I think she hit her head harder than we originally thought.”
    Bo snaps his fingers like he just thought of something brilliant. “She was acting like this yesterday, remember, J?”
    “Oh yeah, do you think she needs to go to the hospital to get checked out?”
    Before I could yell out, “NO!” Jess asks, “What happened yesterday?”
    I ground my jaw. “Nothing happened yesterday unless you count the fact that I threatened Bo with an inch of his life because he would not quit pestering me.”
    “That and she went crazy trying to get in her locked house. Cass here tried to run and knock the door down, it was freakin’ hilarious!”
    “Dang Yankee, I’m sorry I missed the show!”
    “Screw you guys!” I stalk around them and headed to my locker so I could grab my books for my first-period class.
    “Cass, wait up!” J hollers, running after me.
    I stop abruptly and spin around. “What do you want?” Okay, that came out a little harsher than intended.
    “I’m sorry, okay. I honestly thought something was wrong.”
    “I’m fine, J. My head doesn’t hurt anymore.” My hand is still throbbing a little, but I’m not going to tell him.
    “Good. Can I at least walk you to class?”
    “Sure.” I turn around and walk off. J has to jog a couple steps to catch up with me.
    “What class do you have now?” he asks when he catches up to me.
    “Good ole History with Mr. Peterson.”
    “Ah, okay. A couple things about his class you need to know. He makes you think he is the toughest teacher in the school, but he is really not. As long as you listen in his class and take notes, you’ll pass. All of his tests are based on what he writes on the board.”
    Good to know since I suck at History. I’m fine with the Declaration of Independence Era, but when you start getting into Indians, you lose me.
    “Thanks for the tip.”
    “Anytime, Cass. I’ll see you after class,” he says and walks back down the hall to his own class.
    No, he won’t. I’m still kind of pissed at him and his brother so I guess I will be hanging with my new friend Jess the rest of the day. Besides, hanging out with J or even his brother will result in someone getting hurt and I have enough injuries
