Chapter Twenty-Three

Rylee

As soon as I walk into school on Monday morning, I spot Jason leaning against my locker as he scrolls through his phone.

Every so often, one of his friends or a popular kid passes him and they slap hands or fist bump. My hands get a little clammy as I watch him. I must be dreaming, right? Because there’s no way the hottie Jason Monroe is actually waiting for me.

“Are you just going to admire him from afar?” a voice says.

Releasing a small yelp, I nearly fly through the roof. When I spin around, I find Zoey standing there.

“You scared me!” I clutch my heart. “Don’t sneak up on someone like that.”

“Sorry. You were so absorbed in your man that you weren’t paying attention to anything else around you.”

“He’s not my man.”

“Yet,” she stresses. “What are you waiting for? For some vulture to swoop in and snatch him? Go to him!”

I keep my eyes on him for a few seconds, noticing the way a strand of his dark hair falls into his left eye. He doesn’t push it away. I wish I could.

Blinking, I glance at Zoey. “What if he thinks he made a mistake and wants to end things with me? For all I know, I could be walking to my doom.”

“Why the sudden insecurity?”

I rub my upper arm. “I don’t know. He didn’t text me once all weekend. Maybe he wasn’t as into me as I thought he was.”

Zoey rolls her eyes. “He’s probably playing hard to get. Or he probably doesn’t want to seem desperate.”

“You think?”

“I spend way too much time with him and the other guys. The last thing any of them want is to be seen as desperate.”

I take a deep breath. “That makes me feel a little better.”

Zoey places her hands on my shoulders, looking into my eyes. “You, Rylee Barrington, are awesome. If Jason doesn’t see that, it’s his loss.”

I nod and lift my head. “Thanks. Okay, I’m going in.”

Just as I approach him, a group of football players surround him, blocking him from view. Great, how am I supposed to get to him now?

Maybe I’ll meet with him in class?

No. If I want something, I have to go get it. So taking another deep breath and releasing it, I push my way through the crowd, saying, “Excuse me. Sorry. I’m trying to get to my locker…”

Jason notices me, his eyes lighting up. “Rylee! Hey. You’re finally here. Feels like I’ve been waiting for eons. Guys, move.” He shoos at them. “Give the girl room.”

Some of the football players glance at me like they have no idea who I am or why the heck I’m in their presence. But Jason pays no attention to that. He offers me another smile and wraps an arm around my shoulder.

Oh, wow. I so was not expecting that because he didn’t hug me at the party. He smells really good, and his muscles are super hard, but for some reason, my heart doesn’t race the way it did on Friday night.
