-Glyndon Walton: ( Song of the chapter: Crazy In Love By Beyoncé)
I slipped into Alex's car, tossing my bag onto the floor as I buckled in. He was already gripping the steering wheel like he was bracing himself for something. His knuckles were tight, his jaw even tighter, and he hadn't looked at me once since I got in.
I narrowed my eyes, watching him as he pulled out of the driveway and onto the road.
Something was wrong.
Scratch that—everything was wrong.
Alex was acting weird.
Not just quiet or distracted. Weird.
Too compliant. Too still. Too… obedient.
And I knew exactly who had something to do with it.
"Okay, what the hell is going on?" I asked, turning in my seat to face him directly.
Alex sighed, dragging a hand through his already messy hair. "Nothing, Glyn."
I raised an eyebrow. "Right. Nothing. So, you just magically decided to stop acting like yourself overnight?"
He gripped the wheel harder. "I don't know what you mean."
