Abigail hissed at me as soon as Alex was out of earshot, "What did you do to make him hate you so much?" I chuckled darkly, letting my hair fall into my face in an effort to be creepy even though we both know it doesn't work. "It's not just him," I told her, grinning. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"You're crazy," she mumbled. "She's crazy! You're crazy, girl." I smirked and nodded. "That I am. Let's get to class."
