I'm not dating Balthazar. I'm pretend dating him. Which involves some not pretend hand-holding. And maybe some not pretend kissing. But it's all actually pretend, see? I groaned. My explanations were making my head hurt already.
Claudia GrayHuging my pillow to my chest, I told myself, At least soon you won't have so much time to miss him. Soon school will start again, and then you'll be busier. Wait. Am I reduced to HOPING for school to start? Somehow, I have discovered a whole new level of pathetic.
Claudia GrayThe only one taking a risk here is me, if I get too attached to you. Itโs not risky for you, as long as youโre not confused either.โ โIโm not.โ โOf course you arenโt.โ A small smile played on Balthazarโs lips.
Claudia GrayEvery single day was just a box on the calendar that I could put a red X through; each one brought me closer to Lucas and to liberty.
Claudia GrayI didnโt tell him. He found out. Basically, he caught me coming in after the last time you and I saw each other. But he wonโt give us away, Lucas. Heโs even willing to help us see each other, as long as we help him with Charity.โ โWhat, like, a fund-raiser or something?โ Iโd forgotten he didnโt know her name. โThe vampire girl in Amherst.โ โWaitโCharity? Thatโs her name? You were able to figure out who she is.โ He smiled so proudly that all the tension of the moment instantly melted. โI fell in love with a genius.
