Chapter 10

Dusty

I cringed when I saw some of Michelle’s friends show up at the bowling alley. I hadn’t seen Michelle since the morning after the disastrous bonfire party and I’d been carefully avoiding her calls. I hoped like hell she wasn’t going to show up too.

And even though I had been constantly thinking about Jane since I fucked up our brief encounter at the party, she was the last person I expected to walk in the door at the bowling alley. A strange shock jolted me as our eyes connected, but she immediately looked away and began scanning the clusters of people around the huge bowling alley looking for someone.

Her eyes settled on someone near the bar and then she smiled and waved a greeting to someone. I turned to the bar and I saw Nate heading over to meet her. An unsettling feeling sank into me. She was here to meet Nate. I had no idea that their relationship had gone anywhere beyond the one night, but the knowledge left me cold.

I was gathered with my friends around our lanes, but I could hardly follow their joking conversations. My mind was stuck on Jane and Nate.

Nate led her over to our group. He had a big dopey grin plastered on his face. He began introducing Jane to people in the group. “Jane, you know some of these guys from high school, but this is Steve…”

I suddenly became absorbed with my beer and pretended not to be listening to the conversation as I heard Ace joking with her. “Hey, Jane. You should have brought your friend with you. Molly, was it?”

I snuck a glance at Jane. She looked right at home in the crowd with Nate’s arm around her waist. “Millie. Sorry Ace, she was busy tonight.”

When Ace turned away, Jane leaned into Nate and whispered something to him that had him laughing like a fool. My gut wrenched with jealousy.

Jealousy was not an emotion that I had a lot of experience with. And when it came to girls, I almost never felt jealous beyond a fleeting notion. The feeling I had seeing Jane with Nate was something much more than fleeting. It felt raw. Piercing. And it annoyed me to no end.

The night was getting shittier by the moment. I even thought about leaving, just so I didn’t have to see Jane and Nate together, but I couldn’t think of a good enough excuse. I should have left, because twenty minutes into my worst bowling game ever, Michelle showed up.

She chatted with her girlfriends for at least ten minutes before she even acknowledged me. When she came over to me, she wrapped herself around me like a snake. “Hey Dusty.”

I untangled myself. “What are you doing here? I thought you hated bowling?”

“I would have told you I was coming, but I’ve been having trouble getting through to you. Is your phone working?” She looked at me innocently enough, but she must have known that there was trouble between us. “Anyway, Beth begged me to come.
