Finally, everyone exited the locker room.

“Good game,” I congratulated the group at large with high fives and fist bumps.

“Dude, we’ve gotten too used to playing with you,” Luke commented as we all settled in to watch the girls game. I wondered if he could tell I’d just spent the last five minutes making out with his sister.

“Yeah, man, we’ve adjusted our game to accommodate your greatness.” Noah gave me a slap on the back.

“Whatever, you guys played awesome.” We’d had this discussion more times than I wanted to deal with. They were relentless. It didn’t help that I wasn’t forthcoming with my reasons for not wanting to play on the team but was willing to play a pickup game any time, anywhere.

“Yeah, but we’d be unstoppable if you were playing, too.” Jared wasn’t above stroking my ego. He, Luke, and Noah were my biggest fans as well as the biggest pains in my ass.

“Let’s just watch the game, man.” I shook my head, but couldn’t stop the smile on my face. In a few short weeks, these guys had become better friends than anyone I’d known in Colorado. They might hassle me, but what kind of friends would they be if they didn’t?

The buzzer sounded announcing the beginning of the girls’ game. Piper stood in the center of the court, knees bent, ready to jump for the tip off. The ref threw the ball high and Piper leapt into the air, the tips of her fingers touching the ball before the girl on the opposing team could get a hand on it. The ball sailed in the air until one of Piper’s teammates snagged it. She dribbled the ball toward their goal and the game was on.

As much as I didn’t want to, I found myself falling for Piper more and more every day. The temptation was there. Each day, I sat beside her in AP Bio and across from her at lunch, finding I’d been drawn in. Hourly, I caught myself just watching her, mesmerized. And I wasn’t just affected physically, although it was that, too. But it was something more. I loved her smile. Her easy manner of relating to other people around her. The gracious way she dealt with those who treated her like crap.

Just thinking about that got my blood pumping again. Between being in a constant state of wanting Piper and a constant state of wanting to beat the living hell out of her tormentors, I was a mess. I hadn’t done anything about it, though, because I hadn’t figured out how to do anything without arousing suspicion about my relationship with her. It blew my mind that the other guys at school didn’t see what I saw in her. How she didn’t already have a boyfriend was beyond my comprehension.

She was gorgeous. Not only was her face pretty and her hair like luxurious, fiery gold- her body was freaking amazing. She was strong and lean and curvy and I couldn’t stop thinking about her legs.
