FORTUNATELY, I WAS able to find a pair of skates that fit fairly comfortably. As I headed toward the checkout counter, I noticed a familiar face over by the fitness gear.
Chase.
He was looking at some hand weights and talking with a*****e employee. When I noticed who the employee was, I groaned inwardly.
Bruce.
Not wanting either of them to see me, I kept my head low and hurried to one of the checkout lanes. As I was waiting to pay for my skates, I saw Bruce and Chase walking to another register with a full cart. Bruce turned and saw me. Our eyes met and he smirked.
“Well, well. If it isn’t the new girl,” he said.
Chase looked over at me.
Ignoring them, I turned away.
I heard Bruce laugh.
“What’s so funny?” Chase asked.
He murmured something and then both of them laughed.
