began. I was about to tell him that I didn ’ t think I was going to show, but changed my mind at the last minute. I was afraid that I would have to then explain why I wasn ’ t planning on coming — and then why I changed my mind. And that seemed like a really bad idea. So instead, I said, “ I thought we should clear things up tonight before you actually make me late to class one of these days. ”
    His smile didn ’ t falter for even a moment, even though I put a little bit of acid in my tone.
    “ Okay, you ’ re right, ” he said, not near as nervous as I had thought he might be. “ We should settle this tonight. If you ’ re not impressed, if you think this is just a complete waste of your time and you don ’ t have any fun at all, then I ’ ll leave you alone. Period. ”
    I narrowed my eyes at him. “ Fun? What are you up to? ”
    His smile widened. “ Come with me, and let me show you. ” He offered me the crook of his arm.
    I hesitated.
    “ Give me a chance, ” he pleaded with me not for the first time.
    The girl I was supposed to be was supposed to tell him no, to go home and never look back. But then, the girl I was supposed to be never would have met with him to begin with. So instead of walking away, I looped my arm through his and let him escort me around the corner.
    When we walked along the side of the building until the back corner came into view, I started to frown a little bit. I glanced over my shoulder, looking back towards the front of the building and the rest of the campus, but I didn ’ t pull away from him.
    He felt warm next to me, solid and strong, and whatever I was pretending to be, I couldn ’ t deny that whenever I was near him I felt something.
    “ What are we doing? ” I asked, my voice quiet.
    He glanced over at me, grinning now, and just gave me a wink. “ You ’ ll see. ”
    When we reached the back of the building, he let my arm slip from his, leaving me with a cold feeling suddenly. He knelt down near the wall of the building, tapping at it a few times. It took me a moment, but when he cracked it open, I realized that it was a window into one of the basement classrooms.
    Glancing around to see if anyone was watching us, I knelt down beside him and whispered, “ What are you doing? We could get in so much trouble for this! ”
    He placed his index finger against his lips, indicating for me to be quiet, and then sat down on the ground, his feet pushed through the now open window. “ Follow me. ”
    I straightened up and folded my arms across my chest, shaking my head. No. Definitely no. There was no way I was going to do this. We were definitely breaking into a building on private property, and whether we were students or not, that would carry some serious repercussions if we got caught.
    And breaking and entering was most definitely not part of the good girl image I was cultivating.
    “ No way! ” I told him sternly, incredulous that he would even ask me to do this.
    Holding onto the top frame of the window, he looked back at me. “ Addy, c ’ mon, ” he said in a soft, quiet voice that wasn ’ t mocking or teasing or threatening. It was soft, tender almost. “ I won ’ t let anything happen. You won ’ t get in trouble for this, I promise. ”
    I hesitated for a fraction of a second longer, then I let out a sigh and let my arms drop down to my sides. “ This had better be important, ” I muttered to him, glancing around once more to see if anyone was coming.
    He grinned widely at me. “ It is. Very important. ”
    Using his grip on the top of the frame, he swung himself down and through the window. I heard him land with a thud and rushed over to him quickly, kneeling beside the window to try and peer inside. It was dark, and I couldn ’ t really see anything, but there was enough light filtering in from the outside through the window that I could see him standing right beneath it. He seemed alright, but I called down anyway, “ Logan? Are you
