Do you love him?” <br />I jumped out of my skin. She was standing right beside me. “Who?” <br />Her eyes widened. <br />“Seth?” I peered over my shoulder at his retreating back. “Um, we’ve been going together for a long time. A year.” <br />“That’s not what I asked.” <br />I couldn’t look at her. Couldn’t risk her seeing through me, reading me.<br />“Do you hear bells?” she asked. <br />I had to smile at that. “Bells?” <br />“You know, bells. Music, fireworks.” She wiggled her eyebrows. <br />I let out a short laugh. It sounded strangled, same way I felt. “Only in my dreams.” <br />“Oh, yeah?” She arched an eyebrow. <br />Why did I say that? God. <br />Cece said softly, “Maybe you should listen to your dreams.” <br />My stomach suffered a major eruption. <br />She pushed off the locker she’d been balancing against with the sole of her shoe and said, “Think about it.” <br />Like I haven’t been. “Do you think about it?” I asked at her back. <br />She stopped and turned around. “I don’t have to. I know.” (Chapter13)
