8 years later.

            I find myself glancing back to the name plate on my desk.

           Hazel Reyes Foxx, and right under it in smaller letters, school counselor. Who knew Corbin was right about my career.

            A knock on the door gets my attention and I tear away from the name plate to the door, "Come in."

            The door open, revealing just the person I wanted to talk to.

          "You wanted to talk to me?" Casey asks, coming in and closing the door behind her.

            "Yes. Have a seat," I tell her, guiding her with my hand. I watch as she sits down on the seat in front of the desk and wait patiently for me to speak.

           I send her a warming smile. "I just wanted to know how you've been doing. I know it can be hard to adjust to this new environment."

            Montrose Academy has started giving full ride scholarships to low income students ever since the horrible accident that took place here. Casey Smith is one of the students that got the scholarship.

           She smile faintly, "I'm fine." I look at her with suspicion at a lie that I'm all too familiar with.

           "If you need anything at all. Don't be afraid to ask. My door is always open," I encourage her.

            "Is that all?" She asks, starting to get annoyed by the tone of her voice.

           "Being responsible at such a young age, it can have a toll on you. Know when to ask for help, Casey." She avoid my gaze and gets up to leave. I watch as she closes the door after her.

            What can I do when she doesn't want to open up to me. I just hope there's someone she can open up to.

            I unlock my phone on the desk and notices that I have a new message. I check to see who it's from and a smile makes its way to my face as soon as I see the name.

            I'm here, it reads.

            I lock my phone and put it in my purse. I grab my purse and walk out of my office then out the school's office and to the hallway.

            These halls have not changed after all these years. I can't believe I used to be a student who walked through these same very hallways.

            I turn around the corner and see Corbin talking to a few boys. I stand still in my spot and watch as Corbin laughs along with the boys about something. He turns my way and notices me.

            I smile and wave at him. He said a few words to the boys before walking towards me.

           "Don't tell me, you're still bullying students," I joke.

           He chuckle at my joke and wrap his arm around me. "It's all behind me now. Let's go to lunch, Hazel Reyes Foxx." I grin when hearing him say my name. We walk together through the hallway and out of the double doors.

A/N

Thank you so much for reading and for all the support! The second book of the How to Love series has finally come to an end.
And you know what they say, every ending has a new beginning.
Thus, I would like to announce the third book of the How to Love series.
*drum roll*

The Heartbreaker Knows How to Love
How many girls can he sleep with until he's satisfied? How many hearts can he break to satisfy himself? Countless. Limitless. Endless.

A guy like Kaden Pierce is heartless, cruel, and cold. Of course, those are only words I've heard from girls whose hearts he used, broke, and tossed away. I, for one, will never fall into his rabbit hole and I've made it my mission to avoid him at all cost.

Not sure when I'll published the book but I already have the first chapter written. I just want to write more chapters so I can have a regular updating schedule. I can't wait for you guy to read this book. I have big plans for it.

Quick question: How many of you have read the first and now second book? And will stick around for the third book?

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
