Chapter 11

When I woke up, everything was all wrong again. Sasha had not called back. And I had to go to school with a best friend who was avoiding me, and Cal who had treated me weird. And a whole bunch of potential fake dates would be there. I hadn’t answered even half of them. On a day when all I wanted to do was blend in, I would be standing out all over the place.

My phone dinged. Sasha. Getting a ride with Nick.

Ok.

That’s it. That’s all she was going to say this morning?

I tossed my phone in my backpack and climbed in my Jeep. I hardly ever drove to school. Did I remember where my parking spot was? Sasha had asked why I never used the Jeep my Mom had given me and I told her I had her, what did I need a Jeep for?

Maybe Sasha just got tired of me.

I tapped the steering wheel to the music while I waited for a traffic light. Sasha had been there for me my whole life. We were close friends, tight, in elementary school. Then in middle school we had a whole bunch of different classes, but I saw her after school at least. And then when my dad died, she’d just sort of become my world. I never knew how this happened, but Sasha had switched into most of my classes, and her mom started taking us both to school. We hung out every day and did homework together and…in my thoughts I saw something I’d never seen before. Sasha had literally put her life on hold to help me through the death of my father. And I had been too oblivious to see any of this.

And now, three years later, maybe it was time for her to have a life, too. My throat kind of did a weird thing at the thought.

A car behind me honked. The light had turned green. I eased off the brake, still completely lost in these new thoughts.

When I thought about our friendship in that way, I was still happy we were friends, but it seemed more of a charity case kind of friendship than an actual one.

I knew that wasn’t being fair to Sasha. Because I knew she loved me. She’d given all these years of her life to me. She cared enough to be there for me without me even knowing how much or how often she’d given up things ‘cause I just wanted to stay home. I’d created a habit of just her and me, and I was happy there—and I had thought she was, too.

But she obviously needed some space. And that made sense. And I was waking up to our situation. Maybe I needed space, too.

I sent her a heart emoji at the next stop sign.

And then I turned right and into the school parking lot.

People on both sides of the lot were checking out my Jeep. It was a cool one, I admit. But I’d never thought about it much.
