Chapter Twenty
The next day, I was hoping Daniel forgot all about asking me to sit by him at lunch.
I couldn’t stop thinking about it all morning, the anxiety was getting to me. I wish I hadn’t said yes at all.
They were not going to like me, I just knew it.
I really did not want to be hated again, especially not by this school’s vast majority of female students.
In the cafeteria, I made sure to keep my head down and walk by Daniel’s table really fast, hopefully unnoticed.
But of course, that would be asking for a miracle.
Not only does he spot me, but he makes a show of calling out my name in front of the entire student body, capturing the attention of everyone in the cafeteria.
“Angeline! Almost missed us there! I saved a seat for you!”
Some people looked at me as if I grew two heads, and to make matters worse, Daniel wound an arm around my shoulders with a huge cheerful smile on his face. He guided me to his table and introduced me to all of his friends.
