Chapter 18-Elli

The second Jagger pulls me away I start getting excited, maybe he’s finally going to ask me out again. I mean, it’s only been two days since I woke up in his bed but I’m getting impatient. Maybe Karynn was right, I should have worn something sexy from her closet and then Jagger would be begging to go out again.

“I thought you might want this back.” He hands me my shirt and, more slyly, my bra a second later. I tuck it into my bag before anyone can see, how embarrassing would that be?

“Thanks, I couldn’t find this. I thought my mom stole it.” I smile but inside I’m dying for him to ask me out already, the suspense is killing me. I want to tease him about wearing it under his practice clothes but I’m too nervous to joke at a time like this.

“You might want to wash that, I needed a little support for last night’s practice.” He just read my mind, I’m pretty convinced of it even before he does that soulful eye penetration thing he seems to do all the time now.

I laugh. “Please tell me you’re talking about your chest and you didn’t use my bra as a jockstrap.”

He gives me a wink as the bra threatens to fall out of my bag. I’m disappointed when all I get is a tiny hug before he walks away, talking to Brewski and Marc as they walk by. He doesn’t even say goodbye, just throws a glance over his shoulder as they make their way up the stairs.

I spot my friends right away, a big group of girls, no boys in sight, but Morgan cuts me off before I get to them. She can hang out with the popular kids but for some reason she’s pretty attached to me. I like it but I’m not expecting it to last much past the end of babes-ball season, as she calls it. Maybe I’m her pet until she can hook me up with a player and then she’ll ditch me when things don’t work out. I see how it is, Morgan.

“Hey sweetie,” she greets me with a giant hug. I’m a little taken aback and hope it doesn’t show on my face. “I’m totes borrowing that dress, girlie. Teal is so your color. You look hot.”

“Not as hot as you,” I giggle. It’s not like I’m lying, she does look really cute in her ruffly blue dress. It’s a little girly for her overly sexy style and I have to say it totally works for her.

All my friends know Morgan, no introduction needed, and she’s the first to say hi to all of them. I think they’re a little leery of her, wondering what she wants with them when this time last year she didn’t even know any of our names. The circle closes in again after Morgan and I join the group and I realize Jenna’s not here. Maybe she’s giving Sam a piece of her mind.
