Chapter 12
Bailey
Cole told me we couldn’t get together this weekend.
That doesn’t stop me from checking my phone or watching the street outside for his truck after the football game.
I went to watch, as promised, and this time I actually enjoyed myself. Rayne and I still sat in the back, but I felt more comfortable. Even though the entire rest of the school still snubs both of us, the star of the team wanted me there.
I saw him looking for me. I swear I knew when he spotted me, too. And he played gloriously.
Lakeside had no chance against Wolf Ridge High. Our school absolutely trounced them. I’m starting to see why people enjoy sports around here so much. There’s never the disappointment of losing.
But now the game is over. My mom is still working on her laptop at the kitchen table
