Chapter 29

I left the studio wishing and hoping that Mary Rose could work some magic. I thought about texting Jayden to tell him my fears. I had been keeping him updated about our progress every time he came over to hang out. Jayden assured me that Logan would catch on, but I wasn’t too sure.

I fished around in my bag for my phone to call Jayden and settled onto the bench outside the studio.

It was the perfect type of day outside, and the sun warmed my face. I thought about Oregon weather. Fall would be starting and it would be cold and, truthfully, miserable. It rained a lot there, and while there were a million things I missed, the weather wasn’t one of them.

I found my phone, but when I unlocked it, I saw I had 118 messages.

“What the heck?” I said.

That had to be some kind of mistake. I don’t think I’d ever gotten that many messages at once in my entire life. Mia texted me a lot, so much that sometimes when I opened my phone, it took a while to read through all of them, but never this many. I’d only been away from my phone for about an hour.

I checked the messages and discovered that they weren’t from Mia. In fact, her name wasn’t on any on them. Instead, I had messages from a ton of my classmates and numbers I didn’t even recognize. People I never even talk to at school, so I had no idea how they’d even gotten my phone number.

“What’s going on?” I asked out loud. Should I open them? Do I want to open them?

I scrolled through the texts and it only took a few seconds to figure out what that something else was.

They were about a video Mia posted.

A video that everyone was talking about.

Leave it to Mia to post something that gets everyone to her channel again. It’s only a matter of time before she gets a job on ESPN. But what did that have to do with me? Why are people talking to me about the video?

I clicked on the link that someone had sent, and I didn’t have to watch long to find out my answer.

“Hi, everyone! Good morning! This is Mia Tarvis bringing you the news you want and the news you didn’t even know you needed, especially when that news involves Leighton High’s football star, Tanner Kratus. Yep, you heard that right. I have breaking news that I couldn’t keep to myself.”

The image went from Mia to Tanner on the football field. It was last week’s game, the one that happened shortly after Tanner heard about his scholarship. The footage showed him on the field as his coaches spoke to the crowd and congratulated him on the University of Texas. The crowd was going nuts for him, even more so with the announcement of the scholarship, if that was possible.

“Last week we celebrated Tanner’s offer to play ball at the University of Texas, but this week the party is over.
