The Art of Being Friends Page 13


  The kid nods then looks at me for a fleeting moment before hurrying inside the house.

  The man looks back at my dad and opens his mouth to say something when lightning snaps across the sky and thunder immediately follows—

  My eyelids pop open as I suck in a sharp breath. My skin is damp with sweat, my hair feels gross, and the wound on my side throbs as I stare up at my bedroom ceiling.

  That dream I just had … or was it that? The guy had called me little raven, just like the unknown sender did. Could it have been a... memory? One of my forgotten ones?

  “No, it had to be a dream,” I mutter, but doubt weighs on my mind.

  I can’t get rid of the inkling that it was a memory, and that the place I was at—that huge house—was located in Honeyton. I’m unsure why, though.

  And what about the boy with hair so blond it looked white... Just like Hunter’s did tonight in the moonlight?

  Perhaps I’m just reaching. Yeah, I have to be. There’s no way I once met Hunter. I’d remember that.

  Then again, my mind is filled with a lot of holes.

  Pressing my lips together, I open my phone and do something that makes me feel slightly guilty. I search online the name: Hunter Hathingford.

  What I find is... well, I’m not sure because I can’t find anything about him or about anything that has to do with his last name. Hunter does know how to trace phone numbers, though, so maybe he has the knowledge on how to wipe all traces of his records? It seems plausible, but why would he do that?

  Why would he not want anyone to be able to find anything about him?
