Kevin and I looked at each other, confused.
Lianne made the two of us even more curious now. Who was she so excited about?
"Who is it?" I asked. "Just tell us already!"
Lianne grinned gleefully at Kevin and me as she beat around the bush. "You might never have guessed it! It's Ethan Grayson!"
"What?" Kevin and I yelped, surprised at her answer.
The name bore many meanings to me. Ethan was the man I loved in my previous life, but I couldn't get him to love me back. In this life, though, he was the person I wanted to run away from at all costs.
Why did he show up all of a sudden?
"Why did he come to our school?" I asked, confused.
Lianne shrugged. "Who knows? I saw him walking in the direction of Mr. Ward's office."
The gears in my mind started grinding. Was Ethan here because of me? Or was there another reason behind this?
"Let's go and have a look for ourselves!" Kevin suggested.
"Okay. Let's hide somewhere near Mr. Ward's office. Maybe we can find out a thing or two about why he's here!" said Lianne.
I hesitated a little before agreeing to the idea. Although I wanted to stay as far away as possible from him, I couldn't help but wonder why he was here.
Lianne, Kevin, and I sneakily made our way to Mr. Ward's office and hid outside where no one would spot us. A while later, the door opened, and Ethan walked out.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw him. He seemed to have changed a lot since I last saw him, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed about him.
He was as tall and fit as before, and he looked as dashing as always. But in his deep-set eyes, there was this look that I couldn't fathom.
