I didn't realize how fast my heart was beating until I got close to the notice board.
There was already a crowd.
Some were standing on their toes, trying to see over others. Some were already walking away, shaking their heads. Others were smiling, whispering excitedly.
It made my stomach twist.
That list meant extra credit. And for some people… it meant more than that.
I slowed down as I got closer, curling my fingers into my sleeves.
Okay. Calm down. It's just a list.
I slipped into the crowd, squeezing past shoulders and murmured complaints until I finally made it to the front.
My eyes scanned quickly.
And then….right at the top.
1. June Halloway & Ren Whiteout
My breath caught.
I leaned in a little, just to make sure I wasn't imagining it. But it was still there.
My hands flew up to my mouth as I squealed.
We were number one.
I turned slightly, like I needed to confirm it with someone, but people were already whispering.
"Isn't that the girl who kissed senior Ren?"
