Chapter 15
Lily's POV.
I trudged down the school hallway, my heart still pounding from yesterday’s showdown, and last night’s messy emotions. Every locker and poster felt like a reminder of Joe’s icy dismissal and me being Mark's girlfriend. I closed my eyes, taking a shaky breath: I needed to find Mark, to apologize, explain, wh…why I left suddenly.
I rounded a corner and froze. Mark was stepping out of the girls’ locker room, cradling his arm. A tall senior, one of the nurse volunteers, was pressing a clean gauze pad to his side, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was the nurse for yesterday’s match, so I couldn’t complain, but my stomach twisted at the sight.
“Hey,” I greeted softly.
He looked up, eyes narrowing. The nurse slipped away, nodding at me. I offered a quick smile.
