Chapter Nine

I took a seat in the bleachers, watching Fawn run through the cheer with the other girls on the squad. The day had already been long, but Rose and I were attending Fawn’s practice as a family. My stomach churned with the idea that these normal days were numbered. It was Wednesday, so that meant there were exactly three days left until the full moon and the twins’ party. I didn’t want to let the girls out of my sight if I could help it.

Sitting on the cold benches was a small sacrifice to making sure we were all right. The visit from that strange social worker had freaked me out, but even more so the idea that Morgan had reinforced—that whoever attacked Dad in that alley could be coming for us. The thought that Morgan could be connected to them lingered in my mind as well. I had reason to be on edge.

“Joe Philips got buff over the summer,” Rose said, glancing up as she turned the page of her Spanish book. “Not bad.”

“I didn’t think jocks were your type.”

“I don’t have a type,” Rose replied. “Unlike you.”

“Oh yeah, what’s my type? I’m scared to even ask.”

“Tortured and handsome, preferably with a sexy accent. Maybe wearing a leather jacket, jeans, and a green scarf...”

I nearly choked on the mocha I was sipping. “Rose!”

She tapped a pencil against her notebook, the hint of a smile on her lips. “So...these verbs aren’t going to conjugate themselves and I have a quiz.”

“Shut it. Right.” I almost felt grateful for Rose’s obsession with homework. It felt normal, and we needed more of that. “I’ll take a walk down to the trash can to give you a break.”

My sister held out her empty cup. “Take this, too.”

As I passed the cheer squad, Fawn gave me an annoyed stare. She didn’t think I needed to be there watching over her, but I’d insisted. She ignored my smile and wave and went back to her high kicks. Reaching the trash can near the restrooms, I noticed Kyle in the parking lot in street clothes, not his practice football gear. Maybe things had gotten worse between him and the coach of the team. I wouldn’t know since we hadn’t talked since Sunday.

A guy in a blue truck was talking to him, the engine idling. He handed Kyle something and then drove off. Kyle slipped what looked like a small envelope in his jacket pocket. I’d never seen that guy before, but I think I remembered seeing that little truck around town.

I busied myself with tossing the cups and recycling the plastic lids. It’d been easier not to deal with him, but now I had no choice.

“Hey, what’s going on?” Kyle called out as he approached.

I manufactured a smile. “Supporting Fawn’s cheerleader dreams. How ‘bout you?”

Kyle gave me a half-smile. “Had to meet a friend.” He stuffed his hands in his letterman’s jacket’s pockets.

“What happened to practice?”

“I quit.”

I blinked at him. “What? Coach let you do that?”

“Screw him.
