Hailee's POV
I could feel the curious gaze of Lila on me as we walked through the school gate. She hadn't said a word yet, but I could feel her practically eating me alive with her eyes.
"What?" I asked, genuinely confused as I glanced at her.
She raised a brow and crossed her arms. "Don't 'what' me."
I blinked. "What are you talking about?"
Lila narrowed her eyes, studying me even harder. "Last night before I left, you were all moody and quiet. Your eyes were lifeless, like the world was crashing on you."
I swallowed, not saying anything.
"But this morning…" she gestured toward me. "You're glowing. Literally glowing. Your skin looks all soft and happy, and I swear you even smiled at the janitor like you won the lottery."
I tried to play it cool, looking away with a shrug. "You're imagining things."
"Oh, I don't think I am," she said, grinning. "Something happened. Something I need to know."
I froze for a second, and she caught it.
"Ha!" she pointed. "I knew it!"
