“I have to go,” I said. I hesitantly pulled my hand out of his, trying to ignore how cold it felt without it. “Will you be okay?”
Jude nodded. “I see the other guys already. I’ll just go sit with them. Have fun at your meeting.”
“I’ll meet you back here at the end of lunch, okay?” I said. “I’ll help you find your next class.”
Jude nodded. “It’s a date.”
Gosh, I hope nobody heard him say that… the rumor mill would be going wild with that one if they did. Especially since everyone already saw us holding hands. I could just see the headlines now:JUDE TURNER’S SECRET GIRLFRIEND? EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT SLOANE EVANS…
As much as I enjoyed my popularity at school, I wasn’t sure I wanted to be quite that well-known. But as I walked Jude into the cafeteria and felt everyone’s eyes land on me, I wondered whether I would have much choice in the matter at all.
