Part 1 After Asher outed me in the bathroom, things between us changed drastically. He went from popping up every once in a while around school to showing up every morning at my locker. The first time I arrived to see him standing there, I was so surprised I nearly dropped my books. Eventually, it became a part of our morning routine, one that I looked forward to every day. Then we began spending some of our time outside of school together too, going for coffee or walks along the promenade. It wasn’t all as romantic as it sounds, though. Most of the time, Abby joined us. But I was so happy just to have other twitches to hang out with that it didn’t even bother me that I wasn’t getting more alone time with Asher. It helped that Abby turned out to be really cool. She was younger than both of us and was practically my opposite, but we got along really well and I instantly felt connected to her. She couldn’t have cared less about having a social life and always had her nose in a book, but she was completely interesting.
