I had everyone’s attention, and I don’t just mean the dorks at Avery’s table. “You utter one more word of that sentence, little brother, and I will kick your ass into next Tuesday.” I’d grabbed his ear and yanked him back hard. “I mean Avery? Um, do you think you could. Mindy elbowed him, and he corrected his use of our nickname for Avery. Aiden’s shoulders hunched in response to it.
It was the tiniest little sound, and yet it silenced the entire table. I had to give the girl props for that one, even though I had no clue what a Celestron SkyProdigy 70 was.Ī few people gave nervous replies, but then Mindy cleared her throat. You’re all invited.” She leaned around Avery to glare at Aiden. I got there just in time to watch Avery’s friend plunk her down in her usual seat at Aiden’s side, then take the seat next to her and say to the whole table, “Hey guys! How was everyone’s break? I got the new Celestron SkyProdigy 70 for Christmas! I’m going to have a stargazing party this weekend. “She’ll eat her alive,” I muttered, and then, suddenly, I was on my feet, ignoring my friends and crossing over into the unpopular side of the cafeteria.
There were only two open seats at Avery’s table and one was right next to Aiden. He’d tried to tell her that he didn’t want to stop being friends with Avery, but the conversation still ended with him promising he’d “do something about it.” I’d overheard her telling him that keeping up a friendship with Aves was totally inappropriate.
Unfortunately, what Mindy Perez wanted most was Avery out of Aiden’s life completely.
